It's a great engine. Does not take much to make a lot more power. Looking over everyone's VR mods it's very clear that $2-3K in mods turns these cars into beasts. Even the 300HP VR turns into a beast with some bolt-ons, heat exchange upgrade and a tune.

Nissan has been very generous with this platform/drivetrain. They could have acted like Toyota and locked everything down. Nope, these cars are every bit as modifiable as any of the German turbo cars are.

More impressive is that those guys are stuck with the 7AT, and they are still getting good performance with the 7AT. When they get the 9AT and the new Z gets both the 6MT and 9AT the VR is really going to shine.

Have they confirmed the 9AT?

It would make sense cause that's the newest tranny they are making and currently using. I cant imagine they would use the previous gen auto. Plus those weren't very good. Compare to the other auto trans

I'll be in my bunk!

As is the case with the 7AT vs. 6MT, the 9AT is likely to be significantly faster in a straight line than the 6MT.

Although, it seems odd that Nissan wouldn't offer a 6MT on the NISMO

It's all about that 0 - 60 marketing. They need to be able to say their top of the line sports car can do 0 - 60 in ___ seconds and they probably don't want an asterisk beside that number.

Yes. The OEM slave cylinder is inside the bell housing and made with plastic parts. Have to drop the transmission to replace it. Just get one of the ZSpeed options and be done with the matter.

You can prolong the life of your CSC to probably last as long as your clutch (assuming you started doing this when the car was new) by changing the clutch fluid with RBF600, and religiously keep doing so with a fresh bottle every year (or twice a year if you drive it year round as a daily driver).

This way, you don't have to drop the transmission until it's clutch replacement time, and when you do you change out the OEM CSC with the HD CSC (or if Nissan produces a metal Z35 CSC that's backwards compatible with the Z34).

The Proto is now in the US.

So, is Nissan going to begin a tour through the States with this car? I definitely want to see it in person if it comes to my area.

Wow..These guys say the Z is Two years away from production? That doesn't seem right. If it was two years away from production, why would they be showing it off in "almost" complete form now?

They're wrong. It's coming out next summer/fall as a 2022 model year.

It might just be the lens he's using, but looking at the Z head on here the square grille actually doesn't look bad to me anymore. It looks aggressive.

It Looks soo much more like the 240Z (which is awesome!), and even the rear looks better (to me).

I disliked the 370z quite a bit in the pictures and teasers, but once I saw it in person (and then lowered w/spacers) I fell in love.
