2023 Nissan Z | 1 Year Ownership Review 

@@jacklee7104 it really is a shame this isn’t sold in the UK. 🥲 Thanks for watching!

Thanks Chad! Hopefully some more tasteful pieces will appear in the near future👍🏾

@@heftygainz Haha absolutely! I think one of these days, I’ll try to put up some binaural content to bring the symphony of noises together 😎

FR man it’s kinda crazy how fast the time flies!

I agree! So far in my circle it’s bolts ons, wheels, and lowered. Oh that AZ heat don’t play! Stay cool out there! Heat exchanger is probably such a game changer there.

Thanks and congrats! What color, trim, and transmission you going with? All the mods I have are in the video: -Swift Springs w/ H&R 20mm Spacers -AMS Intakes -HKS Dual Muffler Exhaust -OEM JDM Fairlady Z Badge I plan on getting Boosted 6 Autoworks Lower downpipes, and a Tune (Either from Racebox, Z1, or AMS). Still looking for a front lip that's not too flashy but hopefully something will come soon!

@@VNGLRS i received a quote for all black (in-out) Z Performance Manual for a little over $54K here in NorCal. I'm just buying a little time to purchase to make sure I make the right decision and no buyer's remorse later. :)

@@raymunddelossantos You're almost to the finish line! I'm stoked for you man!

@@LegalEagle117 thanks! Purely aesthetically it’s so hard to choose! I’m going to give it to the Supra. It has more “wow” factor with design. It’s a hard not to stare at it. The Z feels more classic and the throwback styling cues keep you locked in.

Much appreciate! 🙏🏾 Honestly, it’s been such a good experience with both cars overall. My Supra is Automatic (ZF-8HP) transmission.

@@VNGLRS Both cars are cool! I got to ride in a Supra with the Manual at Barrett Jackson last year and I came away super impressed.

MT Supras are pretty sick! They feel just as fun as the Auto Supras. Rowing gears in that car is definitely satisfying 🔥

@@VNGLRS No doubt! I just watched the Car Care Nut do a review on one. He was very critical but also said some really good things.

You know what...Honestly, I thought the same thing 10 years ago. Now i'm always looking at 911s' and 1st Gen R8s saying the same thing😂 You'll get there homie! Work hard and create a way to get it!

You do have to be rich, buddy they’re expensive

No you can get a loan and pay $1000 a month, pretty Affordable jokes aside I have a Q60 which is more affordable and than the z better interior materials same engine but AWD , Zs have a tax on them would love to have one if it was cheaper than my Q , I remember when I bought a g37 coupe and sat in a 370z I felt like it was cheaper on the inside cost more for some reason. I’ll buy a Z manual once I can get it for $15k or less in like 10 years but for now my q60 makes me happy and greatful for what I have

Yeah, the heat exchanger is one of the main supporting mods to go with just cause the stock one is pathetic. SonicTuned recently had a post on facebook about faulty oil pressure sensors. I’ve been keeping my eye on mine if I’m WOT having a good time lol. I haven’t seen anybody (probably because there is relatively nobody) with blown turbos yet. What was his setup? Tuner?

@@VNGLRS for all that money the car is costing Nissan should’ve of put a bigger heater exchanger from factory I have a video on my page locating where the oil pump solenoid is. I believe they made two revisions of it. I’m not really sure because when I searched up the part there was three different part numbers. We’re not entirely sure if Nissan z is affected yet because they could’ve made a revision on that part when the Z came out Side note : I noticed a mechanical difference in the valve cover on the driver side on the Nissan Z is updated because of oil consumption issues with the breather pcv system. Yeah, there’s a guy with a Proto Z I Had to make a video about last night because he posted it on a forum, his turbine when he took off his downpipe, he noticed it was soaked with oil tuner was tunedbyyak being that these are the same exact turbos that are on the Q5 just with a diverter valve set up. I’m not very sure how these Garrett’s turbo on the Z are gonna hold up over the years only time will tell anyways z owners don’t really care about turbos they upgrade them in the first year of ownership. The guy was stage one at the time when he blew his turbos. He was saying that he believes it’s either bearing or seal issue or crankcase case issue. The only oil catch can I know that works on these platforms is the Tracy Lewis one that is pressurized to work on direct injection cars. I’m not entirely sure about the other beer can style oil catch can

@@SJ-kf5zh I agree. The reality behind this car is that, they chose to bring it back since it's their staple sports car. Since they're not making their hay-day money like the 80s' and 90s', they scaled back on this car just enough for it to be somewhat competitive. In a perfect world, they would have introduced a new inline 6 in take it back to the S30-S130 days. They really don't have the bandwidth to introduce something all new combustion wise for 2 sports cars (that's IF the R36 GT-R will remain ICE instead of a hybrid). Never heard of Yak before... As for the other bits you mentioned, it's good info! I only know of one guy on upgraded turbos and i believe he's the first "non-shop car" Z in the 700 hp range. Full bolt ons, tires, beadlocks, and on air lift. I'd like to see how long the car will hold this power for.

@@VNGLRS I agree they are probably going to put a VR35DDTT in the Rz34 in a couple years tho or hybrid vr30 Since Nissan has a track record of putting truck engines in their sports cars Another guy on RU-vid Zillafullboost got a white z upgraded ball bearing turbos on beadlocks he know’s more than me on this platform

@@VNGLRS anything more than 600whp 550tq things start to break down on these cars , I like seeking the guys who aren’t shop cars pushing number that daily their cars & track it
