I honestly wish I could afford both! Even if I get rid of my Z for the Supra, I can't get over how much of a great car and platform it is. It will be very deeply missed!

Well I am going for 50%. If I don't get 50% then the Z stays.
Can't be as low as 25%. That is lower than a current market value 2015 stock NA 370Z with double the kms my Z has. My 2015 Z is a full TT build with extensive supporting mods and fully engineered, regency approved, mod plated, has certificate of exemption, passed emissions etc Should definitely be worth more than a stock NA 2015 370Z.


Look I hate to say it, but the new Z front end really destroys it for me. It looks so gutless from the front end. It looks like some sort of scared bug staring at you. I really dislike it. But the side profile and rear end are sick for sure! I just wish the front end was even just a tiny bit more aggressive.

Ontop of that, I really can't see that VR30 platform going anywhere near what the B58 is already smashing. I mean, I would like to be wrong, but I highly doubt it. Where are all the current VR30 guys now? I never hear anyone say that platform is mental and smashing out great performance numbers Iike alot of people are saying the b58 does. I guess I will just have to wait and see, if the VR30 is better on the new Z and be proven wrong.

Yea I would get a c8 too. But remember I am in Australia, the C8 is more than 2x the price of the Supra here with all the governemnt BS luxury taxes added on.

Also, I am not jumping on the evryone has one band wagon, because the Supra is still pretty rare in my neck of the woods. If you think I am on some band wagon, then I would have got a mustang GT? You can see one of them on every 2nd street down here. Plenty of local support for them too, and from what I hear can also make loads of power and good performance numbers. But the mustang GT does nothing for me looks wise. It does not pull me in, in anyway. The supra on the other hand does, obviously you can tell by now.

Maybe to you and other enthusiasts. But to the average buyer those are all negative aspects that reduce the reliability of the vehicle. Most potential buyers will likely see a 2015 stock car with more miles as the better value

Good luck with your next move whatever it winds up being

Yeah, well as I said if I don't get back 50%, then the Z will stay. I still do love it!

I have not considered a Porsche, I would assume they are still way too expensive in Australia compared to a Supra.


Yes Z and all mods is fully payed off. No finance owing on it. Not planning a part out, I agree with you would be alot of effort.
And I mentioned before, I could not afford the Supra without selling the Z, otherwise I would 100% like to keep the Z and still get the Supra.

Nissan has already shown a much improved alternate front end that likely will become available. And there will definitely be aftermarket options too. A front bumper cover is a super easy part to swap.

No doubt the B58 will always outperform a VR30. If you are going down the path of ultimate HP, do you guys get Tesla cars in OZ? I mean, all this talk about BMW vs. Z....pfft a Tesla will obliterate both.

The VR30 currently doesn't get any love because it has been stuck a heavy luxury coupe with a mandatory 7AT. However, there are many many people making very impressive power with the VR30. I will tip my hat to the B58, but the VR30 is definitely in the fight. Again, both pale to a Tesla Plaid.

I think the BMW is a pretty decent car, especially if you want to make power. Can't go wrong. Personally, I can't/won't own another German car!

Yea I saw that orange alternaye fromt Z, it does look tons better than the original version they are releasing imo.

But then it comes back to the 2nd point, the VR30 is not going to go near the B58 in terms of outrite potential and performance. Hence, why I am not really interested in the new Z.

In Australia, even the cheapest C6 is about 40K more than a used Supra. So definitely a no go there.
