That would get the Nismo brand more respect. And if the next gen GTR does get the rumored 800 HP, that would be a big difference in HP to separate it from the 500 HP Z.

I am confused by your 65k range statement, you are suggesting that a historically affordable ~30k car [or equivalent of a loaded camry] will suddenly become almost the same price as a c7 z06, nissan tried that before with the 300zx and that did not work out for them.

What they need to do is transplant that 3.0T from the Q60, massage some power out of it, keep the weight around the same as the z34[probably won't happen, look at the Q60 weight its 3862- 4023lbs], add a manual transmission in it, heck even the current 6 speed can take the power, just fix the weak parts in it and maybe add a 7th gear.

Price it like the current gen, do not exceed the price of a base corvette and the sales will flow in, nismo can come later and they can price it at whatever they want, as long as the bread and butter base/sport version is affordable, fast, competitive in the market and fun.

cliff notes:
-expect a re-skinned q60, hopefully with a manual transmission, weight gain will be unavoidable, not sure how they can turn a 4,000lb Q60 into a 3200lb Z.
Maybe at best they can shave 200-300 lbs, placing the Z at 3500+lbs.

the Z34 will remain the go to car for a couple of reasons; good power/weight balance, the dimensions are just right to have reasonable consumable usage on the track, N/A engine - i.e. no issues with turbos + longevity.

If you ever seen any newer mustang at the track and talk to the owner, the #1 complaint is how fast the car eats the brakes & tires. The current Z isn't really great at that too but having a sub 3400lb weight really helps with the consumeables, i.e. you can get significantly more track time out of the same consume able parts in a Z, there is some hypothetical point where the weight dips over a certain #, the consumeable degrade in a logarithmic manner.

I'd be happy with 350hp again. Anything more is a plus. To me, that's not a lot of power for wanting to go fast in a straight line, but through the corners, it's plenty. I can see 400-450hp tops, coming from nissan. I'd be shocked at anything more.

The 500hp is just a concept I bet. Everyone will be dissapointed when we don't actually get it.

Looks like I was a day behind on my information....

Wow so they are goingbto base the Z on the updated FM platform. Well, a Q60 is 3,862lbs... If u cut around 400-500lbs it will average around 3,450? Will we have electronic steering and all that Q60 useless trash in our new Z? The only thing I like about the Q60 is the engine.

So basically, after a long fvckin wait with no news? The final news is we're getting a cut down Q60? So Nissan is adding another soulless car to the stable of soulless cars? The Q60 is fine for what it is, but it's no sports car... The hum drum sports car market is become more him drum with all this electronic gadgetry. This car better look good at the auto show. Cuz if it don't? I'm done with all future Nissan purchases. The dual clutch is a nice touch.... but ugh.... if everything else is electronic. Why bother, the PS4 steering in the Q60 sucks.

See, now your seeing the truths me not dreaming of the concepts. You let yourself down a little there!

Well anyways my prediction is the base z will weigh 3,2xx so they can say it's lighter an have nice looking stats.

If Nissan is looking to use the Q60 platform? And the literally make it with that garbage azz New World Order Steering System. Don't expect a lighter car. That would mean more gratuitous use of carbon fiber. If that happens? It'll only happen in a Nismo. N it'll still weigh more because Nissan's Nismo body bracing weighs 88 lbs. So you gain and lose keeping the Z heavy.

That NWO PS4 steering has a heavy azz manual override steering column interlock further adding weight. Then factor in the numb steering, electronic handbrake, and other stupidities like hybrid batteries on certain models. The Z will probably be between 3,400lbs and 3,600lbs.

They'll say our base model is 53lbs lighter than our outgoing Nismo model yet out powers and out handles it on paper. It will just be a numb feeling appliance where excitement will be on the seat of the pants verses the visceral nature of the current Z. People will talk about how THE Z34 & 135 & EVO X were the last of the visceral analog cars and how the digital world has dulled cars.

But then you'll have your mainstream CORPORATE media mags telling you it feels great, just go with it. Our government needs all that tracking information in your cars that dull the feel of driving. So they can keep record of where you're going, how fast you get there, how many g's you take a turn, whose house u park in front of.. what stores you park in front of and all those useless info-tracking that means nothing. Cars are getting soulless as we get closer to living the movie Equilibrium.

If I'm a buy an electronic car? I'm gonna get the best out there.... Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes. I'm not buying a PS4 on wheels from a company that couldn't even address a CSC failure properly.

Stick to being as close to analog as possible Nissan or it's goodbye from me. I rather spend double.

This company gets more disappointing by the day. EV this.... electronic that. Visceral is being written out if the dictionary. Fvckin NWO is killing the auto industry. Nothing is sacred anymore.

Rant Over.

Damn, "zero to a hundred ***** real quick".

Aluminum is the current light weight material they will use. Carbon is still to expensive. We don't know till we see it. But yes I do agree that we have lost an age of analog cars. But I see that as a good thing. Instead of looking forward, I'll keep looking back. There are plenty of cars that just keep getting cheaper that I have wanted over the years!

Since you like looking back.... here.

The 1999 Nissan Z Concept Was A*Fascinating First Draft*

We already have a carbon fiber drive shaft and radiator housing. It's not unfathomable that Nissan does some in-house carbon fiber to double up or triple the amount in the next gen. Nissan didn't use more aluminium in the Q60. They used more high tensile steel to reduce weight. They still failed at reducing weight. A good portion of the Z and Q are made of aluminum. We all know this....

My point still stands.... by evading all their original hype. A lighter Z will be a challenge unless they compare the upcoming z base to the new Nismo model. The current Q is over 800lbs. There's no way to get more than 400lbs weight reduction without doing radical **** on the Chassis. That's all I'm saying. That's why I was hoping on the modular chassis.

I've been recommended to drive the Evora 400. I respect them but they haven't visually appealed to me. I should at least get in a solo teat drive of one.

While I enjoyed your rant, let me help you

The Q50 3.7L came into being with the same wheelbase as the outgoing G37 while being a couple inches longer (junk in the trunk and longer hood). It's a lower and wider car than the G37 and still barely managed to weigh within punching distance of the G by a few pounds (I believe its within 50lbs trim to trim). The platform is improved in rigidity over the one that underpins the current 370Z as well.

The Q50 also offers a NON SORCERER version of a steering system. It's electronically assisted power steering, but it's a real steering column and everything - that's how I ordered mine. A stripper Q50S RWD - no spare or anything. No goofy steering - just a regular *** rack and pinion setup. This is the base option for all Q cars - the Direct Adaptive Steering is optional. The auto mags would have you think otherwise since none of them apparently have the balls to ask for a Q50 without that system equipped, and then they **** on the car for having it equipped and not liking it. Motor Trend pissed me off with that review, but I digress.

On to the weight stuff - The Q50S RWD with no nav or tech weighs 3666 pounds with the cast Enkei 19s and run flats. That wheel and tire combination is 62lbs. 30lbs of that is the run flat tires (THEY SUCK). Swap to Michelin PSS and lose 5lbs per corner just with tires. Switch to the optional Rays wheel package on the 2015? Drop another 10lbs per corner. There's 60lbs in weight savings with just wheels and tires, and this particular setup you can expect to see equipped on a next gen Z's sport package. (to give you further perspective, the Q50S RWD pulled 0.86g on the skidpad with the Enkeis and Dunlop runflats equipped, and turned around to 0.95g on the skidpad with only adding the Rays wheel package... the chassis is exceptionally capable on this car).

A lot of the specs you see from the Q60 are the AWD version (extra weight), with all the tech bits we won't see in the Z. None of the current Q50/60 cars offer a forged lightweight wheel. They all have leather seating with climate control and multiple points of adjustment. All have sunroofs (most of the time, that's another 50lbs). All have more sound-deadening materials than you'll see in a Z (hell, drive a G37 and drive a 370Z right after and you can tell that difference). The Q50 has something silly like 10 or 12 speakers in the Bose system that's in it with an amplifier mounted into the rear deck. They both have that crazy InTouch system that adds serious weight, but I don't know if I can discount that as being unavailable in the next Z as some buyers want all that tech. (though mine is hilariously overdone since I don't have Nav)

Bottom line, I really don't see a 3300-ish lb version of the next gen Z to be outside of the realm of possibility. The VR30 with its turbos mounted is only 18lbs heavier than the VQ37... the absence of a lot of plush in the Q cars can make up significant ground quickly. In this light, it's gonna be ok. I promise!

Thanks for the update on the weight.... I kept googling that effing car & it kept giving me 3,853 so I took it as word. But I know you wouldn't steer me wrong. Trust you over google. LMFAO.

That said.... I hope that is the case. We'd be at 3,666 - 400. 3,266. That would be roughly the same weight as a base. Throw in sport package n it'll prolly weigh 3,000. N for flappy paddle guys about 3,020lbs.... I guess with the engine we have that would be acceptable...

I guess I did believe the hidden hype about them separating the chassis and making the Z it's own car. And considering the grip Z was a 2500lb chassis and body with a 300HP turbo 4. I thought what perfect numbers for a Z. And considering that we're in year 8.5 I expected that by year 10 we'd get something revolutionary.

Maybe the Z has potential to be good? I don't know. But Nissan just been steadily pissing me off the last 12 months. The Q with no LSD. E-E-Brakes in sports cars and disconnected steering. I'm tight.

I hate mustangs. Check my track record on mustang. But I respect they kept the drift friendly handbrake on mustangs. The 2 series as well. But those aren't PROPER sports cars. The Z is...

Back in 09. We had droves of members crying like babies that the Z couldn't compare to a BMW in materials in technology. That's not what the Z is.... while I wish they updated the Z touch materials over time to reflect the times and I wish the stereo were better. I don't feel most creature comforts are necessary. I wouldn't even bitch about the stereo if they didn't make you drive off the lot after spending $35+k with the shyttiest sounding exhaust on a sports car.

I love this car. N I contemplate updating my 11 for a 17 Nismo before this platform disappears. But I had hopes that Nissan would follow the same philosophy as AMG GTS with hydraulic steering. (Though they dropped the ball on e brake). Keep the experience pure. I'm so tired of all these cars. I mean I enjoy test driving them. But they all feel, uncommunicative. N I really don't like that seat of the pants only experience. It bugs me. That's not what I pay money for.

They should mimic what Mazda has done with the ND Miata. It would be nice to see the next Z with TwinTurbos at around 420 HP and below 3,300 pounds.

TKP-Zeto · 02-05-2017, 06:23 AM

The guys at stillen have been messing around with the new engine in the Q60 red sport... claim that is actually UNDER-rated.

If that's the case, if it gets transplanted to the next Z35 it sounds promising.

I was afraid a smaller block with the twin scrolls between the V's and the integrated water to air intercooler might be more expensive to upgrade or have a lower max potential than getting a current 3.7L and just tossing on bolt-ons and a tune.

RicerX · 02-06-2017, 10:00 AM

I'm still dying laughing at "New World Order Steering System". That's probably the best possible description for it.

To me, that's not a lot of power for wanting to go fast in a straight line, but through the corners, it's plenty. I can see 400-450hp tops, coming from nissan. I'd be shocked at anything more. The 500hp is just a concept I bet. Everyone will be dissapointed when we don't actually get it.
