An administrator on the GTRlife forum posted that a Japanese magazine is saying Z35 won’t arrive until ‘25. What we get before that is a highly revised Z34 for ‘21 with new front end, interior and 3.0T motor. That mule at the ring could have simply been testing the current car with the new motor. Who knows but thought I’d pass it along.

When there's a new engine option (and new front end for sure), doesn't Nissan have to re-certified for both collision standards and emissions tests?

Seems like alot of work to do a "modified" Z34 chassis with the 3.0T and go through all the paperwork just for it to be a stopgap

but hey, if there are good parts for us to scrounge, go for it

The engine would have to be certified for sure. By reusing an engine out of another car. It won't take much to certified it. If it was a whole new engine. Yeah, that would take longer.

If they just change the bumper cover. It might not need to be certified for that. If they make changes to the frame, bumper support. That would need to be certified.

The post said “drastically different front end”.

You can change the hood, fenders, headlights and bumper cover, and make it look drastic. Wouldn't be that much work on the frame. I don't see them making major changes on the frame to make it look "drastic". It would cost too much.

I'm going to hate to know what will the new Z will be like 2025. Maybe a 4 cyn turbo.

LOL, the Club Sport that MA did was the first test mule. That build was sponsored by Nissan Nismo division.

This is one of those forever threads. It will stay open until the forum shuts down, or Nissan makes the Z35. And if Nissan does. Then this thread will die in a month or two. Because everyone will be on the Z35 forum.

Fixed it...
