[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

Zingston

Why not, right? At least it will quiet the "10 year old car" critics.

Look, if they wanted to make this basically a Z34.5 or a Z34+, same chassis with some lighter components underneath and a smog legal, 6spd manual VR30 that came with a freakin warranty i would buy that in a heartbeat

but if this 10+ year old chassis didn't sell now, i can't imagine a whole new set of buyers flocking


**** if they wanted to sell the VR30 swap kit in a crate that could be California smog compliant i would also buy that in a second

i mean a reliable and legal 400hp tt engine, assuming it came with proper cooling for track abuse, with the stuff that is already available for the car (like the SPL catalog and the various diffs) would be fun as hell

Hmmmm... looks familiar.... fairly certain that's Rusty's mule. Or perhaps it's Hodrodz?

It's a trackday junkie getting some laps in. The plates on the Z are issued to a private owner. Everyone over looks that part.

And Nissan isn’t using an UNCAMOUFLAGED, 09-12 Z34 body as a test mule

What I got out of the article was that what's being posted by other people is all BS. Nissan is being really tight lipped about it. Nothing is being leaked out. And no hint if there will be a Z35 or not.

From what i drew out of thd article is whats inspiring him. Im gauging his love for the Z and guessing if hes a traditionslist. It sounds like the next Z's design cues will be coming from the Z32. Thats what i got...
I wonder if you guys have long term memories? Did yall have enthusiasm for the 370z when it was a concept etc. In june 2008,the showed what was the0 370z. Which looked like a SMALLER 350z with a bigger bore in the motor. Everyone thought that was thd car. When it was time to order and take allocations of the car in October of 2008. Thats when you saw the 370z as we know it.
Before that. It was slow *** getting info. It was like that with the 350z too. One day there are sketches n rumors... then all of a sudden,theres a concept car at NAIAS in NY. 6 months later there was a 350z...
So is Nissan going to change their marketkng strategy now? Prolly not. So i would just stay outta here if youre expecting some grand news. All yoj gonna see is sketches for a few months. Each sketch will get closer n closer to the actual car. Then suddenly out of left??? CONCEPT.

Thats the way its been for decades.

Design cues concepts from the z32 is a great thing, was always my dream car growing up and I still have a soft spot for the timeless design of the z32.

UNKNOWN_370

Yes the 1990 300zx. Green with the tan interior n t tops... was amazing!

Given the current global economic environment and the fact the Nissan was already in the hole pre CovID19, I see this following more in line with the Z relaunch that they did with the 350. This platform, in my opinion, is likely to fizzle with the 370z and until they are done restructuring and become profitable again, it is highly plausible that no serious ground will be made on the Z35.
