Nissan 370Z Forum  

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

I really like Sketch Monkey's video showing what could be done differently. Pretty much lines up with my original impression. At the EOD, the potential is there and may well

+3. Instantly better. Thanks!

Hopefully Nissan is watching this thread.

Looks much better in body color, when I get mine I will paint it, looks more uniform.

But you shouldn't have to do that.

It should come with body color paint, and let the people who want it black have the options of vinyl wrap or paint. Black is basically black. Body color is not.

To be honest I think the black roof line will be an option and I saw someone on the 400z forum say it will be part of the "launch edition" (I don't know how accurate that is but I can see that being true). Also I think the carbon fiber will be an option. I personally would option to have it, and then wrap the bottom part of the diffuser body color. And I would wrap the silver roof line stripe black as well.

Some alterations I made quickly just to give it a different feel. NISMO LMGT2’s. Slight drop. Color change. Front bumper modifications. Fender mod and rear spat. I also took elements from the NISMO #370Z and #GTR as well as added the obligatory duckbill every #240Z needs. The car itself is going to be an amazing canvas. Now the only thing left is to hear what the exhaust note sounds like and what the weight will be.
HAHA - 'I'm not the best at car renders...' and proceeds to kill it with their render. Dude - that looks really good and I like the vision for sure - If Nissan decides to keep the design the way it is - I feel we will be able to do those type of mods to the car and make it 'our own'. But again - nice render

Also, instead of keeping the "bulge" lines connected, I disconnected those and brought them down on each side, flowing with the natural curvature of the design and left them disconnected at the bottom.

Also I think a carbon fiber spoiler would look great.
Nice job on that render, it’s an improvement definitely. Still, I don’t know what it is about that back end, it really disturbs me. I don’t know why, but it keeps reminding me of a bad mustang knock off. Perhaps I don’t like retro styling too much.

Okay guys at this point STFU about the front. If you knew any better you'd be on the design team. Clearly FI requires more air flow. Black out the bottom if you must but jesus!

LMAO, who died and left you as judge, jury and executioner...GTFO!!! Nissan put this out for public consumption so they could hear the feedback and give us something to talk about. It keeps the Z relevant unlike your comment.

Again, easily better. Still needs less rectangle on the front though. But certainly a major improvement. Thanks for posting.

+1. It took less than 24 hours for some people to tell us they were over the constructive criticism. (Yes, constructive. 99.9% of people here want Nissan and the Z especially to rock on, so stuff we say, even negative, is meant to help.) Now we are at 48 hours and some people are telling us to go F ourselves. Well I say right back at cha. I think they must have played on those soccer teams where no score was held, or their mama told them good job Billy when they struck out after 4 pitches instead of 3. Rolling my eyes here in SW Ohio.

it actually grows on you.... like everyone has said, there probably will be aftermarket that make changes to the front and I like the Apostolon on Reddit..

it's here, it's coming and I am happy about that

Is it me or are people literally overreacting about other people reacting to the front?
