370z front GTR Caliper bracket

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we end up finding out Z1 helped build most of the new Z from a fabrication perspective. It actually is really smart on Nissan's part. Get a big name Z shop to do work for you on new parts cut out large scale manufacturing cost and get aftermarket parts made for the 370z and the new Z at the same time. I honestly wouldn't even be surprised if we see Z1 selling a 370z to 400z motor swap conversion kit.

They have also had AMS doing stuff on the Infiniti side with the VR motor. Extensively. Tons of parts available that allow you to retain warranty if you have the dealer install them. Nissan has been heavily active with both of those shops - Z1 even stood up an offroad arm to help out with the Titan, and they built that dually concept for SEMA. The Titan Warrior concept was even at Z1 HQ for a while (and still may be there, IIRC).

Re: the motor swap kit, I was under the impression that this was under development at Z1 for some time now, but it went quiet. That talk was possibly a smokescreen for development of the new Z, and the timeline matches up with that.

Not in a fanboy war context, it's pretty fascinating to pick up on these co-developments to see how Nissan is making this possible in contrast with Toyota.

I still am not completely set with the looks, an the promos can be a bit hollow/redundant, but the fact the PR team is putting in work is great imo. I mean knowing Nissan has an uphill climb, it's nice seeing them make the push here.

It is, but it's also time for some details. You can only talk about design for so long.

I agree where are our specs? Nothing at the original press conference at all and still nothing now. I know they are pretty much known but I want to hear it from the horses mouth. IDK the fact that they aren't excited enough to at least act like they want to give us details and HP numbers or 0 to 60 times or even price worries me a little that they don't have a lot of confidence that the new Z will stack up against it's competitors. That or they are going to have to push it's release back further than they thought they would which won't help either considering the Supra is already looking to roll out a faster more powerful model.

Couple things here -

The guys that built this know it can compete just fine... IF... the beancounters let them proceed as they ideally would like to. There are likely going to be a few compromises to the final configuration of the car that affect all of the final numbers. The car is still technically in development... why should they tip their hand until it's fully ready to go? Parts of this are still a chess game to ensure their competition doesn't respond before they're ready for them to. You can already bet Toyota is trying to figure out what potential Z conquest sales are out there if they crank out a manual Supra.

However, the statement made with this whole play they've made so far is there WILL NOT be a compromise of any kind on the manual transmission offering and the powerplant being a twin turbo V6. They've already committed to that and can't back off on that now or it would be a PR nightmare that Nissan can't afford.

The continuous release of videos about the design of the car are to keep it fresh in people's minds while they undoubtedly adjust to pandemic-related challenges impacting product development. Nissan is supposed to launch two new products in the Infiniti QX55 and Nissan Ariya with pending launches of a revised Armada, a brand new Pathfinder/QX60, and a brand new Frontier... all after delayed/hampered launches of the revised Titan and the extremely important Rogue redesign (the company's top selling model). Every single one of the aforementioned have been delayed due to COVID.

It's not an issue of confidence in the product. It's a cash-crunched company doing its best to survive a pandemic. I was more than surprised to even see a Z Prototype, and even moreso one that's basically production ready like we got in September.

I think we can afford to be patient a bit longer here. Some of us have been waiting on the next Z for 10 years already. A few more weeks won't hurt.

That color is awesome, reminds me of the 40th aniversary 370z. Looks very Aston Martin like.

I still can't handle that front grille.

X2.

I like what I’ve been seeing so far, but that pic is the first one that made me feel like “damn, take my money!”

I'm hoping that yellow isn't the only caliper color. I would much rather have red.

the GTR only comes in orange calipers since 2009. the only change happened this year the 2020 nismo carbon ceramic brakes are yellow and no choice just what you get.

Man why is Nissan reinventing the wheel....just throw the much loved ZF 8 speed that’s been proven. With good programming, it’s almost as quick as a DCT, but much smoother in traffic, lower maintenance, and smaller pkg.
