I wish Nissan would give us a teaser image or something else.

With how secretive its seemed to be so far I would doubt much would be shown until close to the Tokyo auto show.

Found this article on how the GTR Nismo will inspire other models. Mainly the Z.

Nissan GT-R Nismo paves the way for more high-performance variants

Down under is catching up with us. Looks like the same plan. Nothing new.

The reason i asked is because, about a week ago, this guy was on my tail like crazy, anyways we pull up to a red light. he has the new Q60 coupe(2doors) AWD with TTVQ.

So asked him, does he have a switch or something to go from AWD to RWD?? He answers NO, but there is this electrical link that if you unplug thats located in the back of the car(he dint specify where exactly) the car will become RWD. This is why i asked.

AWD on the Q or GTR is NOT full time. It never has been. The car is ALWAYS in RWD UNLESS the car senses loss in traction, then in milliseconds it activates to enable AWD. I believe their are aftermarket controllers and overrides for part time AWD. He must've had extensive knowledge n just knows where that controller plugs in. So he just disconnected the wire without actually using the aftermarket part.

Better to save the extra 200lbs n buy RWD.

LMFAO!!!! Are you Fvcking serious??? All that technology for MILLISECONDS of use??? WOW!!!!!

Well i tell you what...That Q60 is the next GTR killer.

EDIT: unless Z35 has the SAME platform....>_>

EDIT#2: thinking now....i see why they did it like that, is to save on drive terrain loss and still use it during slip, not to lose time on launch or w/e.

Well no, it reacts in milliseconds to go from RWD to AWD.

Won't be a GTR killer without aftermarket turbos, there's zero headroom in the OEM turbos. They're SMALL. Plus the 7AT can't take heavy mods, even in the new car. We'll have to wait to see if a dual clutch changes the situation. The Q60, as is, is in the same boat as the 2nd gen car being it'll take a ton of money to make it seriously fast.

Jalopnik asks the same question most of us are wondering....

Does Nissan Even Care About Motorsports In North America Anymore?

Unfortunately, it's the sign of the times. It does look like Nissan seems to want to concentrate on SUV's and sedans and leave the rest to Infiniti.

I mean if any of you saw the Rolex 24 at Daytona a couple of weeks ago, you could just make out the tiny Nissan Nismo decal on the Tequila Patron prototype car. I don't know what Nissan's involvement is with these cars but based on the level of brand visibility, it must be minimal or they've become extremely shy about their brand.

I really thought something would come out of the Nissan partnership in the Deltawing racer a couple of years ago but nothing. Then they had that front-wheel drive GTR LM Nismo prototype car only to pull it during the 2015 season after only one race.

People, it does look like Nissan is abandoning motorsports, in NA at least. Hope I'm wrong.

I believe I mirrored these sentiments earlier in this thread. It makes more sense in the grand scheme of Nissan's branding and the overall trend in the automotive market.

I really see companies like Nissan being the utilitarian brands of transportation (autonomous, ride-sharing focused... "sell the transportation need") while the luxury brands "sell the experience" of higher end cars that offer either or both super cushy or sporty cars.

This makes sense for Nissan to push more of this off to Infiniti because that brand needs an identity far more desperately than Nissan does.

I think the timing of the new Z may work out well for me. I just purchased my 2015 almost a year ago and plan to keep it another couple years. And I'll be investing in a CSC delete and new clutch shortly which should give me reliability in that regard, and get my investment dollars back during those two years.

Hopefully by then the new Z will be shaken down, gremlins uncovered and aftermarket parts available - ready for me to grab one...

I'm hoping most engine gremlins are discovered during the 2016 Q50 and 2017 Q60 releases. The aftermarket will have two years prior instead of one year prior to sort out issues and create a power plant aftermarket for correcting flaws and increasing power. By second model year, the car should be solid.

I hope so too but its not going to happen, the g37 was out before the 370, and the gremlins were still there in 09 and some in 10, by 11 most were worked out.

your best bet would be to get a 3rd model year; so we are talking 2021-22 Z.

UNKNOWN_370

Yeah but there was only one model year and Stillen didn't get a VQ37VHR until months after the G came out. Stillen got the VR at pre-production and they would have had 2+ years with the VR before the Z comes out. Not 9 months like the 370. That's a huge difference from last gen.
