After reading all the post this morning I have one quick question for the haters...
You really going to judge a new Z on its grill? Seriously? How many of you actually thought there would even be a new Z? I know I didn’t. And as far as being a “parts bin refresh” I say at least it’s made from NISSAN Parts, unlike the Supra which was made from a different company‘s parts bin all together. I read the horror stories for Supra owners going in for warranty work and being turned down because they don’t know what they’re doing. You won’t have that problem here. So, yea, the grill is ugly, I can change that eventually. Give me a genuine factory parts product that puts out 400 HP with a manual trans for $40,000 and I’ll be the first in line. If it sells decently the aftermarket parts will be off the hook.

I feel comfortable with the fact that Amuse (for sure) will come up with something killer for the front end. What would be a bonus is if their current offerings fit the new car.... If the underpinnings are the same as the current model, then there are already a bunch of parts that will swap over, and I suspect there are more than a couple of folks on this forum that are itching to swap that 3.0TT into a 370. I find it intriguing, but I want to wait and touch one before I decide. I've only had my current car for 2 years & the boss lady says I don't get to have 2 toys....

General Public: why can’t anyone build an affordable sports car, with rear wheel drive, a manual trans, and not too much tech?
Nissan: hey over here! General Public: Nah, the grill is ugly.

Now continue the yellow up the A-pillar and on the roof. And someone needs to figure out what to do with the grill itself. Sideways Jeep style holes are not doing it for me.

What do you guys think of this new render I did of the rear?
I made the tail lights a little longer, got rid of that middle black area, and reworked the body line engravings. Instead of the oval shape it had, I brought down the lines on bottom outer side of the tail lights towards the diffuser to help give more emphasis on the width of the rear fenders. 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. Last edited by Andaesthetics; 09-17-2020 at 01:24 PM. |

My opinion is that all the pieces are there but they need to be refined. I think the headlights are unique but could be a bit bigger, the grill needs to be redone, larger tail lights and smaller diffuser/lower bumper would help out the rear. Loving the side profile. |

Still waiting on the Nismo version. When I saw the new 300zx back in 1990 I was, "IT is OK". When I saw the Twin Turbo version it was love at first site. Same with the 370z. I liked the sport but when I saw a NISMO, it was all over. I had to have one. The 350z, hated it. LOL

Now put some paint color on the rear hatch and roof. I'd also like to see either a lower diffuser, or for it to incorporate some body color.

Here's my version of the Proto... I'm not the best at car renders but I wanted to take a crack at mods I would do to mine if I had one.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CFNwPV3n..._web_copy_link 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. |

This is something quick I did so it looks a little sloppy, but you get the idea. I do like the body colored roof much better than the black for sure. I kept the side blade because I think that helps give the car a more flowing appearance. It looks better in black for sure. But the bottom portion body colored I must say looks pretty good while still keeping the lower part of the diffuser.
