ALL NEW 2023 Nissan Z Review 

OK

😁

Ain’t no way ain’t no freakin way

Thanks for the review guys! Was looking foeward to this one from y'all. Also my vote would be the 2nd photoshop rendering with the slit style front grille.

Oh wow, your front end design 💯 over Nissans.

🤷🏼‍♂️

@@TheStraightPipes more importantly , 0:15 what happened there lol . I buy salvage cars what is the location

probsbly because he owns a drift modified 350Z and drifts it, its on his gram

It had me sucked in like the bagel from Everything, Everywhere All At Once.

@@pkoya341 I’ve only got out 3 times with it before my back started hurting

Not sure that makes up for the half finished front end lol

Was wondering where you went I thought Bald made you disappear this time, like we suspected you did to him months ago 😆

Get ready for Kicks burnouts

I was actually really impressed when I was filming them - Jakub

The same thing happened in the Throttle House review.

@@THESLlCK Throttle House had the same problem with second gear. Maybe to the press car is a lemon?

@@THESLlCK Nop, even James and Thomas from Throttle House mentioned it.

EXACTLY who would buy this??🤣

I get the feeling the entire car is a hard pass. Seem like new makeup on a very old car. The engine is the only real big change.

Good ol modern Nissan quality

It could be the same press car? But yes I wouldn't buy a 1st gen if the press car already has a problem because I drive just as hard or even harder on my cars.

@@wolftec5000 my clapped out 2000 civic doesn't grind gears lol should not happen on a new car. Maybe a lemon? But why would they knowingly give them a lemon seeing as they're going to show their impressions to millions of people

@@joel9405 🤣I hold Nissan, Subaru, other Japanese brands to a lower standard than my Toyotas and Hondas. Where I expect 200k+ miles of reliability If a Nissan lasted 100k without problems I would be happy.

Its a big problem when both the auto and manual for the Z car sucks. Nice going Nissan

Nah it looks awkward

@@ld9387 more than the factory kit? I couldn't disagree more.

We were also waiting

Supra is 45k here🤥

@@user-mr4id9nj9g With a 4 cylinder. But an LSD.

it depends, I think the Nissan is the better one, but the supra is better in everyway besides being a BMW. There is more overhead in the supra, for anyone who is interested in modifying. Most importantly is that the engine is very good for tuning. The block can handle 600hp with the stock turbo just fine and could go past 1000hp with better parts. The twin turbo VR30in the Z, its starts to get dicey if you upgrade the turbo and push it past 600hp. This info is according to the tuners at AMS performance. Despite this, I would choose the Z over the supra probably but in my opinion it's not the better car. I don't think anyone who cares about having the highest numbers on paper will mind paying several thousand extra for much more performance

Imagine if playboicarti was full mexican and a youtuber.. well i smoke weed on my RU-vid channel.. that’s basically me😭😭

Since they're all sold out already, not sure what the production volume will be

Thanks we try

Technically the A to Z plan was Ghosn's idea, but it was too little too late, since they arrested him before he could present it, and then he smuggled himself out of Japan.

@@LouisSubearth Ghosn was good for Nissan, saved them from bankruptcy and they treated him poorly, trash company

In that show they said that the front end specifically can be optioned in the future

I love the standard front end, but I definitely need to see that Tokyo front end as either an option or aftermarket bumper, or maybe even a later facelift lol.

That front bumper is the way it should have been. The production front end is good, but the one from Tokyo Auto Salon was much better.

Nah, they need the Hycade Nismo now that's a body kit I would want.

The fair lady split bumper from the auto show in Japan has a plate 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@TheStraightPipes the plates on the Fairlady blocks the grill. I'd design it so you can fit slimline plates on the bar without blocking the grill.

@@somerandomfella zip tie plates for a Z is my fav

The bottom section could easily be painted to match the body color.

@@TheStraightPipes Who runs a front plate on their sports cars? lol. Just leave them off and take the warning.

They must have been tracking us! 🤣

the blue in person is amazing

@@bchandy98 I’m jealous you’ve seen one in person!

I absolutely love the blue, personally I'd go for a dark blue tho with the matching blue interior, either that or the dark red with a matching interior, I forget the color name tho lol

Samsung galaxy Z fold and flip 💚

We spoke to USA journalist friends who were allowed to drift it and do whatever. They didn't have any problems with the trans. Not sure what's going on with Canada and these Canadian units 🤷‍♂️

SG also found it has the same fuel cutoff issues on the track, apparently since the 350Z. Edit: My point is that it has issues. TSP literally tested hundreds of press cars from other makes, and some are beaten to death and doesn't have these issues.

@@squidwardshouse67 Actually we're the first ones in the Canadian model. Look at the mileage on the cluster. These are brand new

@@TheStraightPipes I mean, would that be a reasonable explanation for why? break-in? Or do car companies generally not care about that for press fleets?

@@TheStraightPipes Goddamn you’re right. Now I’ll take the opposite stance and say the car isn’t broken in yet 🤣 Or Nissan put a shitty manual in

Yesssss I love it

Yes it's horrible, hence buy the supra

@@roboticvenom1935 i cant live with the insanely horrible visibility of the supra or else i would.

Welcome to the channel

😬

Mmhmm that front pump face just ….. too cute lol

Saw a clean stock 350z recently. It looked like a cute lil car for a teenage girl. Back in the day I thought they looked so cool

@@androiduberalles oh no I can’t unsee that emoji on the it 😂

i mean if honda can get away with 2nd gear grinds for years i'm sure nissan won't be in any hurry. just youtube search savagegeese type r grind..

@@aaromon43 Honda 2nd and 3rd problem on 6speed is old news. My 2006 si had it, so did 2007 s2000 had it too.

I had an old Elantra years ago with a beta 2 swap and bolt ons and it grinded into 2nd every time. 210k miles on that transmission when I cooked that engine and the grinding never got worse over all those miles. But it’s still disconcerting, if they had to beef up the 1st and 2nd synchros in that “old”transmission to handle the extra torque, it’s gonna mean short transmission life for those who look to the aftermarket for more power.

I love the new samsung Z fold and flip !

yep!

There will be aftermarket bumpers, its a z

Lmaoo ew that bumper bar is ugly lol looks sooo tacky..there will be way more aggressive front bumpers than just a line

Thanks :-)

The telluride is way better 5hen the Nissan Pathfinder mate. The Nissan Pathfinder is not at the top of itself category per any reviewer, motor trend, car and driver, they all rate it lower. Nissans products are generally under, their new sentra is well priced though, it almost won mototrend car of the year

Problem is the supra is the smarter buy. Significantly better engine, way more tuning potential, way better automatic transmission (and likely superior manual trans), lighter, better platform, better handling, better brakes, no horrible fuel cutoff at the track or spirited driving when tank is 50% or below, better built interior, etc. All for similar money If you get the base model Z which is significantly cheaper you get ass brakes, open diff(WTF), super Spartan interior, the exhaust sound is even worse, and speakers are ass If you're upgrading you'd grab a used supra, most likely

@@roboticvenom1935 unless you took one look at the supra and said "fucking yuck" like heaps of people did. Plus if you're in the market for a Japanese sports car you're hardly gonna look at a BMW playing dress up

@@iguana51 "heaps" just false lmao? "Market for Japanese sports car," what type of bullshit limitation did you just do? No, people are in the market for SPORTS CARS, if Hyundai made the BEST sports car for 30k, people aren't just gonna buy the BRZ because it happens to be made by Subaru lmao, they're gonna buy the Korean vehicle(notice the Veloster N and Elantra N get rave reviews and selling out everywhere, competing with Japanese civic type R for way less). The supra literally beats this car, savageese the most technical reviewer and in their review they had both these cars on the TRACK said as much, supra is better overall no question. Of course they're gonna look at the BETTER CAR, you're saying BMW can't build a good sports car haha? The Nissan Z is a sad sports car, it has fuel cut off when you're driving hard/on the track if you're gas tank is 50% of lower, no joke look it up it's embarrassing, this makes the car nearly undrivable in such a condition. We can go by each points, interior, fit and finish, engine, platform, weight, handling, exhaust, it loses on almost all.

@@roboticvenom1935 no, you missed my point, BMW absolutely and objectively makes great cars, but there are also absolutely JDM purists in the car community who will literally only buy Japanese cars, there are also Japanese patriots, just as there are American patriots who only buy Ford, GMC, etc and there are Australians who only buy Holden's I'm not putting that limitation on people at large. BMW can make the best supra ever, but the people I'm talking about will never consider it cause it's not made by Toyota. Elantra n and Veloster n and to a degree even the i30n are all amazing cars and Korea is putting out some great stuff across the board but again, the specific people I'm talking about won't even register it as an option, because type Rs exist Honestly I think they should have put the V8 and drive train from the Lexus LC500 in the new Supra and it would have broader appeal I also take your point, the specific people I'm talking about is a much smaller minority than I'd originally given credit for

@@roboticvenom1935 NISSAN won't ignore a fuel delivery problem, and I think you should take a break from praising BMWs in every comment.

Yes it is !

Nah, it is there.

It looks terrible. Like a catfish

@@Postingam2 100% bro...ive said the same thing.. that headon view is the angle nissan messed up on and it looks unfinished, missing cooling ducts for the front brakes, the spots are There, but just blank like an unfinished render.. same with the nose. the grill and lights look fish like...not at all appealing headon... a catfish is spot on

Problem is the supra is the smarter buy. Significantly better engine, way more tuning potential, way better automatic transmission (and likely superior manual trans), lighter, better platform, better handling, better brakes, no horrible fuel cutoff at the track or spirited driving when tank is 50% or below, better built interior, etc. All for similar money If you get the base model Z which is significantly cheaper you get ass brakes, open diff(WTF), super Spartan interior, the exhaust sound is even worse, and speakers are ass

@@roboticvenom1935 all right man everybody knows you like the supra better you can give it up now!!👍😎🇨🇦

@@roboticvenom1935 Points taken, and you're mostly right. I do like the Supra, and Toyota's in general -- but it's a BMW,....I'll pass.

@@billyhughes9776 I wouldn't pass on a vehicle just because it's a BMW! I've owned all sorts of cars. BMW has some of the most praise right now of any OEM for good driving cars full stop From the M2 to the M5

Supra >

No manual though, right? That alone makes it worth picking up the Z

As an Infiniti, it should have a better interior, exhaust, and a more comfy suspension though... right? It's a luxury sports car.

@@slow_bike_show the new supra has a manual and is undoubtedly the superior vehicle, buy that

@@roboticvenom1935 oh man if I had the dough...🤣 the supra is drop dead gorgeous.

And that Q60 handles way worse and is significantly slower and costs more.. In 2017 it was good but quickly because worse then competitors. The Q60/50 red sport has an outdated interior so it doesn't look as good as competition, outdated features(like wireless connectivity), worse performance, and worse handling, and has a much inferior automatic transmission vs competition (it's very old, and slower) and is overpriced that's why it gets slept on. The 49k m240i smokes the q60 red sport, m340i also dogs on it completely, Kia stinger also beats it speed wise and is more practical with a more updated interior (hence it gets better reviews and always wins over the q60/50 in comparison tests), same goes for Audi's competition. Mercedes, not so much they're too bent on using 4 cylinders.

Could just be the glasses, but yeah.

Hello - Jakub

To be fair, the F-Type is a Jaguar so it has the same chance to be a classic as the XKR or any other Jaguar. The Nissan Z cars have never been particularly exotic or special, and have usually been fairly close to their Skyline or Infiniti underpinnings AFAIK. Even so, the 240Z, 280Z and so on (Z30 series) are classic cars now. Less so, the 1980's Z31 but I think they are getting to classic car status too. :)

changed up 370, actually.

@@bjornironsides6474 which is just an updated 350z

One issue with the transmission in a car that has been utterly flogged by every journalist. Hardly a lot off.

@@harrye.512 car was revealed over a year ago. Why the hell would Nissan give journalists a car that has an issue? It’s not like it magically teleports from one review to the next without someone from Nissan handling it

The 370z Nismo is one of the best looking modern Zs for sure. I like it better than this redesign.

You prefer the look of the 350 over the 370? AND you don't even like the profile or rear of the new Z? I know it's all totally subjective but dude...your taste is weird. Objectively 😛

@@tizodd6 I like the simple design of the 350. The 370 had these sharp lines and head and tail lights were ugly

@@dennylafoss It's cool. I'm really just messing with you dude. I know we all have different tastes. But serious question though: You don't even think the new Z looks nice from the side? I'm not a fan of the front grille or headlights, but I love that profile.

@@tizodd6 I think the only good view is the one from directly behind it. I think that chrome piece under the roof ruins the entire side view of the car.

@@dennylafoss then black it out silly. 350z looks like shit in comparison, especially the rear end.. 99% of people would go, "oh that 350z car looks way worse on the rear end," it was never known for being a very attractive car full stop
