All-new 2023 Nissan Z makes world debut!

[Bryster]

I kind of hate those angled side pieces in the rear bumper, reminds me of an early 2000's body kit. The rear was such a clean and sleek design before, I think the move would just be to make the diffuser carbon fiber and add some cutouts behind the rear wheels

looking at the Z AND the 24 GTR NISMO, it feels like their new design language

More issues for the Z lol...

Stop Sale on the Z -- for Paint and Headlamps (as of Jan 18)

https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/t...-z-for-paint-and-headlamps-as-of-jan-18.1651/

If the paint is still ok, the fix is just putting a small piece of rubber between the headlight and the front bumper for both sides to stop them from rubbing against each other, sounds a bit like hack job but the Zs that don't have this problem from the factory were "fixed" at the factory in the same way. So basically a permanent flaw that has to rely on a janky repair to prevent further problems.

I mean when you buy a 20 yr old NEW car it is bound to have some 20yr old problems ?

It’s a shame because I really liked the previous gen Z. Pretty innovative for it’s time. Maybe they’re saving up for an all EVs lineup like the majority of the other manufacturers?

They went 'efficient' aka cheap on the reboot of the 'Z" its a bit of halo car and has some mystique I suppose. Clearly not worth a dime more than a new 2009 370Z lol!!!!!!!!! Since its more 370Z than anything else.............

I love the clowns over there… “if Toyota made a all Toyota Supra for 60k I’d buy it” but as long as I don’t pay mark up I’m ok with shitty Nissan quality and all the issues I keep fixing on my Q60 that are the same parts on the “new” Z hahahaha

That guy that you're referring to seems to have a bit of a history with Nissan, he even had one of the Subaru models that were plague by head gasket failures that just straight up dump engine oil out of between the cylinder heads and the block. So yeah, truly a certified clown.

Pac-Man and wonder bread combination of an exterior. Can't do it.

Perfect for swallowing the dust from its competitors when it gets left behind by them.

" A tad quicker at 1:33.4 was the new Nissan Z. Sure, it has 400 hp, but it’s also more eager to slide than the Subaru. That’s great for smiles but bad for lap times. Alas, early in our testing, the Z’s suspension suffered damage after hitting a curb on Monticello’s tight switchback after the straight. Every other car hit that curb repeatedly for two full days without a problem, but it put the Z out of the competition almost before it started. "


embarrassing
finished 2nd to last and several less hp cars trounced it

Its a chassis from 2003. I dont expect much.

 

[D3ad_Hand]

I'm not one to bash cars, but holy shit this is a bad performance by the new Z. I really expected much out of it, but I guess not.

thanks for sharing, i enjoyed the article. they praised what should be praised, criticisms were accurate, etc. loved the amount of praise the Type-R and GR Corolla received

....... and the $53,000 Z Performance was out-performed by a $34,000 FWD Hyundai. beautiful day
