As a 5 year owner of a 2017 M2 and 6 year owner of a 2013 Sport Z (sold 6 months after M2 purchase) both manuals. I’ll give my opinions of the shifter and clutch.

First the shifter. The M2 has longer shifts, feels rubbery and is a bit notchy. The Z’s, is not perfect either, but it is shorter and while notchy as well, feels more bolt action like. However, comparing them both to my sons Type R. The Type R wins. It’s short, precise and very bolt action like.

Clutch. The M2 is long and light, but comes up a little to high. However, it is easy to find the pick up point, the length of the grab area (sorry don’t know the proper term) is just right. With hill stop, light clutch, easy and nice grab area. It is the easiest manual I’ve ever driven.

The Z’s clutch pedal travel is shorter, slightly heavier and the pick up point is slightly higher. However the grab point on the Z is very short. I never needed hill stop on the Z, even on some major inclines, however it’s really a cool feature to have.

The Type R, has a pedal, whose weight is in between that of the M2 & Z, the shortest pedal travel, nice pick up point and grab area, plus hill stop. No doubt the best of all 3 cars.

But going back to M2 & Z, I have rarely ever mis-shifted or killed the engine on a start on both. And while they both aren’t as good as the Type R, I prefer the M2 manual slightly over the Z.

Scroll up to my post 6868. The original was correct. But you know how Hot Wheels go. They put out the same car 10 times in different colors just to sell them again. The wheels aren't usually changed or accurate with any car. Only sometimes it gets lucky. Where they messed up here is they should have changed the copy on the backer card to just read Nissan Z. But again, that costs them more money.

I just like how round 2 is white. My 370Z is white so I'm more than a little biased to which color is my favorite. Wink wink.

I think white is one of the few colors, that goes with a black roof.

A white roof would still be better. Wink wink.

Why isn't anyone here talking about the new Z auto trans recall? I'm not on the new forum because I'm not buying one. Is there a new thread here about it? I guess I just figured all converstion about that car was here in this thread.

This is the first I’m hearing of a recall. Do tell!

Please just google it. Nissan has put a stop sell on the new Z due to recalls for the auto trans in their trucks, the Jatco 9 speed. Stop sell order came down on August 29, 2022.

The manual trans is not on hold.

My dealer has a proto in stock but it's not currently for sale. I'm going to go look at it after work tonight.

Okay, got some more info.

My dealer got his a while ago. Before the sell stop in August. I think the delivery date was 8/21 but that's just my memory. Forgot to take a picture of it written on the car. Maybe I'll go back Saturday and look again.

Car is an automatic, so they can't sell it.

BUT, there is another problem. The front got smashed in during delivery! Crap. I hate to see that on anyone's car, let alone a brand new Z. Perhaps the first wrecked Proto Z in the world?

They have a buyer from Chicago (I'm in Southwest Ohio) who put their $20k over sticker asking price down. He was willing to take delivery as is, but because of the stop sell and the damage, with zero knowledge of when they can fix it, Nissan made the dealer give the guy his money back. Dealer says who the frack knows. It could be 6 months before its fixed. It's been sitting outside in the weather now so long that the battery was dead and couldn't open the doors.

May take a few posts but I'll send some pics.
