So far after 5,000 miles nothing has gone wrong. You gotta remember that it is a Nissan after all so it’s probably one of the most reliable sports cars out there
People with pickup trucks always bother me. They always tell me how fast their truck is. I ask them how their truck handle once they go over 140 mph. They just say they never do that.
I have 19 370z Nismo tech, completely agree with your statement with it being too quiet but it does have better flow because it's a true dual exhaust :D
i wish i could have gotten the nismo but around here (Quebec,Canada) a used nismo with like 40k-50k miles are like 40 000-45 000 $(CAD) so i got a base model with 6000 miles for 30 000 $(CAD)
Nice, that price gap is insane...its starting to get crazy everywhere. With that $ you saved you could just snag a full NISMO body kit for around 1k (US)...they have roughly the same power and most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Just found a place called z1 motorsports and they carry a ton of OEM products, should be able to get everything necessary to convert the base into NISMO (not sure about drivetrain). This OEM kit is pretty nice www.z1motorsports.com/front-bumper/nissan/oem-2015-nismo-370z-parts-conversion-kit-front-and-rear-bumperfascia-p-13245.html) the only problem would be the color. You might be able to find a wrap that matches your car and use that for the kit pieces. Looks like they also sell all the OEM NISMO badges too, toss those on and boom got a NISMO. Usually, I'd stray away from putting a high end kit on a base car (i.e. people putting hellcat kits on their sxts), but with the Z the performance difference is minimal. If you want more power you could just grab a CAI,headers, and a tune (new exhaust would be nice too).
@@CM20022 Yeah that's what I thought too I could get the nismo bodykit and with just an exhaust upgrade it could match the nismo in term of power sadly where I live the exhaust law are pretty strict and I know a 370z get loud with an aftermarket exhaust but I'm still thinking of doing it. My 2nd car (Sentra SER Spec-V) got one and I never got pulled over in like 3y. Maybe get some nismo seat too since the base one are kinda lacking. But yeah for the money I saved going with a base I could build like a nice turbo Z and still have leftover money.
Even though the Nismo cost more the extra’s are worth it. I just can’t figure the guys who buy the base then try to make it look like the Nismo spending all that money. Besides the resale value is much more on the Nismo.
@@chodkowski01 Well I guess it depends on who is buying the car i don't think it's worth an extra 15k when the cars has like 8-10 x more millage. You can even argue that right now it's even worth less since the 400z is about to come out and is gonna cost the same price as per say used Nismo. I think the Nismo is great just not 15k for 10 times the milles more great especially when you can make a base even better then one with that kind of money.
The Z are affordable, fun the drive and is manual. Yes it might not be fast and technology are dated.. but do you really care when the trade off are full engagement with the car?
I know that a "scion" isn't anywhere near a Z, but I wanted to say that I share the experience of being fully engaged with your car. Sadly I no longer have my Scion.
Good review bro I own a automatic 7speed 370z I’m envious of you right now🤧😂 and the blind spots on the 370z are major!!!! I basically say a quick prayer before I switch lanes
Nice review and video. I test drove a 2020 Nismo today with 13k miles on it as I have been wanting one for a while now. I drove my '06 G35 Coupe to the dealership to do the test drive. Due to the current car shortage they wanted $46k for it and that's just ridiculous considering they were $45k brand new. It was also already modded with exhaust, intake and coil overs. Power was good but the interior is very dated. It was fun to drive, but not $46k fun. I'm going to wait a little longer for prices to come down. Keeping the G for now.
Yea smart choice 46k seems really extreme and isn’t justified for the car, I would just wait, look for older models around 2015-2017 or just wait for the 400Z lol
@@adamgalindo Yep. Also, I'm with you on the clutch feel. Don't know how to describe it but it feels "weird". Almost like they were trying to make it easier to drive by softening the spring, but it ends up having a weird engagement point. After the test drive I got back in my G and the clutch felt way heavier, easier to engage and non-slippery.
@@adamgalindo really depends on what your goals. If you want to show some dominance on the street then boosting is the way to go. Your not going to beat an fully tuned E-85 , 392 charger or 5.0 with 340whp. I know because I use to run an 341whp 370z and got walked on by an fully tuned GT350 quite easily, he gave me the gap, about 2 car length.
They’re gonna appreciate in value. The 400 is a slouch, in my opinion. But whether or not it’s true, I still believe the 350z/370z eras will go up in value. Hate it or love it, the heritage is too strong, if you’re a person (not saying you, Adam lol) that’s aware of the JDM scene.
so theres this sti at my school, my friend said that he loved it. I responded by saying that i dont really like it, the only wrx's that i like are the 22bs. I heard the sti coming around the corner, as it got closer i heard the sound and i said "wait, that's not the wrx" and then one of these comes rolling around the corner, it was something straight out of an anime. It went full throttle down the strait-away, it was insane.
I had an old outdated car many years ago. It was a 1967 GT fastback mustang and I wish I still had that old outdated car still. I bought my Nismo brand new in 2015 for $43,000 out the door. The base was $30,000. I figured the body kit, recaros, sport brakes, wider Rays wheels, $4,700 satellite communications package, suspension, exhaust, 3.92 differential gears vs 3.69 (base & sport) much better resale value than base was worth the extra $13,000 for the Nismo. As far as the quiet exhaust I have enough sheriffs following me around, I don’t need the extra attention. In 15-20 years when manuals no longer exist people will be looking for your Nismo to buy and they won’t mind that it’s outdated.
@@adamgalindo I own a V1 nismo, and the prices I have seen for base models in Dallas are terrible. People want 20k for a clapped out base model and they used to be around 7-11k. All 370z owners got them stonks now
Dream Z! had a DE for 5 years I think I’d like to have the younger bro too but that’s when I’m in that position to get one. Also blind spots for Z’s are terrible one thing in common
If you set up your side mirrors and rear view mirror correctly you can eliminate the blind spots in the Z. Hint, side mirrors need to be adjusted outward. Why do we need to see our door handles??? When your mirrors are set up correctly, a vehicle that is in your rear view and trying to pass you on your left or right, just as it is about to disappear from your rear view your side mirror will pick it up. There is a video that teaches you how to set your mirrors.
No chatter in my 2017. Learned early to touch it only when I need to shift gears and when I’m done leave it alone. It’s a bad habit to leave your hand on it and it will cause early wear.
Thanks for your video looking at 1 and they want 41k...16k miles 1 owner ...thinking of just getting a Camaro or vette...lol...dam but that nismo sexy ...
Wow that’s a bit pricey but low miles. It depends on what you’re looking for, if you’re trying to go fast in a straight line then the maro or vette would probably be a better option but can’t argue with that last sentence 😂
Just take your time and keep saving your money. Take the time to decide on the cars you would like then take the time to evaluate each one with their pro’s and con’s. In the meantime just keep looking online for the car that you would be happy with at a deal. It took me 9 months to decide. My 3 picks were the Nismo, 2013/14 GT mustang and the Corvette. The Nismo won out.
cool video. Im the owner of a 2020 Nismo. If you were driving back in the 80's and early 90"s, you would appreciate the Anolog feel of the car. Pretty much all cars today offer assistance in driving, not the Z. If you fuck up, its on you. This is why these cars are sought after. One day you will understand. Also, many like myself did not buy this car for the infotainment system. We bought the car for the handling and performance of a naturally asperated true sports car. They are dying fast. Not trying to bashing you but you don"t have a clue yet. This is a car that will not exist again in its current form.
Yea I 100% agree, that is also why I chose to get a 370z because I knew it was one of very few cars left that still have that old school feel while still having some tech
Nice video. I am learning all about the Nissan 370 Z series because my son is interested in one. Personally I am a dodge hellcat guy so this is a real learning experience. Thank you for the video! 👍
@@adamgalindo Not a man, and it's a wish of mine to own one because I have medical debt and other obligations that must be addressed. The more I look at at these 350Z's the more they resemble fat ticks.
Great review! Do you have a link to the blind spot mirrors? It looks oem as far the curvature. Also a link to the little cup holder piece if possible? Lol sorry..
Yea no problem! www.amazon.com/SuperFan-Blindspot-Safe-View-Company/dp/B0874K6859/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=blindspot+mirrors&qid=1624987916&sr=8-8 www.ebay.com/itm/333568814093?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAAAkFG4FMOu6XUblJinMZdWfh%2BMmno77OZGQz2WYucwAWzUkOTTxOhe69keZcZV33vpVOpxzPQkjPbtoSJ%2F%2BmugRSKfEYdaFPjpGcjg%2BC7%2FgQ8xccmLip0iyVLLip7%2Bea%2Bf%2FlhZdIxz9Ydbkyzynl2B3hEmQ5FfJS3ZxGlxMlaHX4Zc4mbHjVKobmYODAZk70zApg%3D%3D&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=333568814093&targetid=1262906534562&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9031591&poi=&campaignid=12873833206&mkgroupid=123950846602&rlsatarget=pla-1262906534562&abcId=9300536&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAjwieuGBhAsEiwA1Ly_nRRw7hC1xz146qt9BKjQ62ufslvV33MvDhzEz24ZUdN3r92M0FXfLxoCOD8QAvD_BwE
Everything you hate about gauges and infotainment system mean nothing, as the car ages, those old parts will bring back nostalgia and be a feature to the car.
This was such a good video I’ve been interested in the 350z to be my first car but got an e46 instead & now want to get a 370z nismo so this informed me really well on what to expect
I see glimpse of blind spot mirror in the driver side view mirror, does it come with it? I have been thinking of getting the blind side mirror for my Z but I have not found that kind a blend in with the side view. Any suggestions?
Idk why you’re complaining about boot space and suspension stiffness…you bought a sports car dude…they aren’t meant to be as comfortable as your day to day car 😂
Hey I just test drove a z today and absolutely loved it! But literally the only issue I have that's stopping me from getting one is the clutch. Like you said, it feels weird. I drove it for like 45 min and I couldn't get used to it. Also, disengaging the clutch from 1st to 2nd gear is really rough and every other gear switch seems smooth. is that the same for you or just the one that drove? lol. and if so does that clutch assembly fix it?
Hey I know exactly what you mean and it’s what I felt as well when first driving it and it was starting to honestly get annoying to drive, so I researched ways to fix it and found the clutch assembly. It’s a game changer and makes it a lot easier and smoother to drive so yes it fixes it!
My 03 350 came with power seats😂😂😂 I feel you on the trunk opening part. My z doesn’t have a wing and sometimes does the same thing it may be the latch itself
@@adamgalindo idk honestly I love it but it might be uncomfortable for an every day use because of how little space it has and I also don’t like the outdated indicators, navigation system, and radio buttons. I know it can be replaced with something like apple carplay but it’ll be nice if it looked a little more modern
Did you really downshift to 1st? You lost me with complaining about the clutch, suspension, and the location of the alcantara on the steering wheel. I guess you did say in another video that you're 19 years old, so I'll cut you some slack.
Lol what’s the problem? I wanted to give an idea of how the rev match worked and I wasn’t going very fast. I’m mentioning pretty valid things that lots of other Nismo owners and z owners in general have complained about as well
I want to ask Fairlady Z NISMO what is the difference between the internal parts of VQ37VHR engine of this car and ordinary VQ37VHR? What's the difference?
Only difference is that the Nismo comes with a higher flow exhaust and is tuned which is why it produces slightly more power. I believe the rest of the engine is the exact same
AHH the clutch ... .I own a 370 in manual, Have owned 1972 skylines in manual, Silvia's S10, S110 . P510wtk's . 910 turbo all manual . 370 is odd and hard to get use too,. even harder if rev matching is turned on ..Im keen to change its system to old school .
lol, i own a base 370z manual so it didn't come with the rev match feature, and i've driven one with SRM, and i can say the one with the rev match feature is much easier to drive. You can literally take your sweet time on both the up and down shifts, with SRM, but without it, you have to time it properly while adding in gas at the right time for both up and downshifts.
Fast Intentions CF Exhaust with 18" resonators. Do that. Then if / when you move to a NON DEQ testing area, go for their longtube headers. Oil Cooler is a must. Upgrade the radiator. You can use the coin trick on the back hatch. You need to buy all of the following: Pioneer "screen" (Btw: We used to call these "aftermarket car stereos"... is the new Trendy thing just to say "Screen"? ); Pick out a nice 4-5 channel amp. You're going to want to run the front speakers fully active (meaning, this will take time/effort/energy to properly time align, but once you do, you'll finally have decent sound in there). I'd recommend something nice from RF for amps, or JL audio. You can get a custom sub box for the back, which, will put more weight over the rear tires. While you take the door panels off, get some sound deadening on the doors. Brakes: Z1 2 piece rotors, assuming you actually hit the canyons... which to me, was/is the entire point of owning the car, not putting around "flexin bruh" in the city... oh and sound deadening in the rear area of the car, mainly around the spare tire area will help once you upgrade that stereo and doing real/actual road trips ("You mean leave the city bruh...?!" I know this is a radical concept for some car owners, but there is a LIFE outside of the big cities... and much better roads to drive). I've driven several national parks across the west coast and see close to Zero 350 370z's out there, even though I can fit a weeks worth of camping gear in the car, so don't even try it with the "I got no room bruh" excuse. Leave the city, go see the world, and you'll get much better photos of the car then the dime a dozen stupid parking garage photos that millenials seem to mindlessly gravitate towards. Other than that you can spend money on a tune, but don't expect much. Short of putting up around $20,000 to PROPERLY supercharge/turbo, tune, fix fueling issues, transmission issues = just start saving your money for the new Z which will be here around the end of the year, and better yet, wait til end of 2023 for the sociopaths running car dealerships to actually sell for MSRP. The new Z will be much more cost effective to modify with a tune, some exhaust work, and I Believe the cooling on the VR30 is much less of an issue than the VQ... oh and you get your "Screen"
7:08 you should have gotten a touring with sport package. 1:04 I have always wondered how nismo exhaust note sounds compare to base or sport package. Great content! 👏👍 Thx for sharing.
@@adamgalindo actually the nismos come with an H pipe exhaust while the Base and sport comes with a Y pipe so once you open up the mufflers the tone is much more deeper on the nismo. I personally have a base and did an aftermarket H pipe conversion and the difference is pretty substantial
I just bought a Red 2017 Nismo Tech (V2) 6-speed manual and I am totally satisfied with this car. I don't car that it has an analog display or the inside is outdated. This is the truest form of a sports car. I was going to wait to get the 2023 Z but I knew I would not be able to afford the Nismo model so I opted for the affordable one. Only paid $37,000 and it has only 13,000 miles on it with only one owner. And it was garage kept like I will keep it has well. Man this is a fun car to drive. But this gas cost ain't no joke right now so it will probably be parked along side my 2015 Lexus GS 350 F-Sport for the time being and I'll just drive my everyday car which is a VW Passat.
I was thinking to buy one in 2020. Now I should have bought one considering the price of cars skyrocketing. Back then in 2020, the 370Z NISMO was still holding it's value considering it was a NISMO and pretty scarce in production.
@@adamgalindo yea I always knew the nismo would hold some of its value and not depreciate crazy like a non-nismo but 35k was too expensive even at the time for me.
I’m in the same area as you bro. I’m debating getting a Nismo 370z as well, and was wondering if your would be down to meet up and let me check it out up close 👍
@@adamgalindo ohhh ok ! Yeah man I have a brz rn but wanted something with some more potential and was heavily considering a nismo 370z . The video was great btw ! Would you consider making a second video on it ? Like explaining anything new you might’ve found out as well as the potential for the car mods wise ?
From the Nismo v1? Easiest way would be to find someone with a same color v1 willing to trade hatches with you. Otherwise you’re going to have holes on the hatch by removing the v2 wing. Meaning if you wanted a clean install you’d have to buy a replacement hatch and install the wing onto the new one
@@adamgalindo yeah that’s what I thought it’s unfortunate bc I think the wing looks sooo good and it compliments the 370z very well too bad they removed it for the newer models
Personally I think not only does a Nismo look better but also performs better. I’ve never driven a type r though. Type r seems like a better daily forsure. Plus fwd is no fun compared to rwd
I had an S2000 and a 2018 Type R and sold it recently. As much as I love my Honda’s I’m looking to get into something I can get more power out of for less amount of effort I would put into a Honda. The s2K was great but needed soooo much work to extract good power out of it. The type R is for sure the better daily driver tho, but it’s just something about the rear wheel drive that gets me, so I’m looking into getting a 370z sport instead of a nismo probably. I feel like if modded correctly you can have yourself a baby GTR. Lol
Test drove a used 2020 and it was garbage. Ride quality sucked, blind spots sucked, the transmission sucked it felt like it was gonna break and rattled like crazy on first gear. Interior sucks, infotainment sucks, roid noise sucked, etc. For 30k used, this car felt like a cheap outdated car.
Like I mentioned, wasn’t meant for a comfortable ride or a fancy interior. Transmission is a little funky and took me a while to get used to and yea it does make a lot of weird sounds and rattles but I’ve gotten used to it. To each their own ✌️
@@adamgalindo I get ya but this car is going around 30k to 45k used. No way a car that came out in 2009 with little changes is worth that price. My 22k 2017 Civic Si is a better car, slower, but better. The car felt cheap AF and the transmission felt clunky like a truck. The car was a hassle to drive. At 30k to 40k youre expecting refinement especially on a 10+ year platform.
Yea the price argument is valid, it really doesn’t make sense for the price but I’m a just a huge Nissan fan and decided to go all in with the Nismo edition. Nismo wouldn’t make sense for most people
It’s definitely not the best quality but it’s really not too bad, especially on the Nismo tech some things are slightly improved which make it look a little more modern
@@adamgalindo compared to other cars at the same time it is not really modern but putting this aside i meant more that its all plastic and even the littlr alcantara or leather does not feel premium. Makes me wonder why after all the years we dont see many 370z with all leather interiors custom made after purchase. If i would get a nismo i would ass apple car play and invest in wrapping all parts: doors, dash etc in nappa leather and alcantara to make it feel and look great
370z is technically the slowest in a straight line but would be the best at handling. Mustang gt is a great option for both a daily and a fun sports car. Same with the Maserati however I find the mustang is too common and I’m not the biggest fan of the Maseratis looks. Go with what you think would be most fitting for your lifestyle and would meet your goals on what you want the car to do
Let me ask a few more questions then? Are we taking price into consideration? Will this be your only car? Do you want a manual or automatic? Is cargo space important to you?
@@adamgalindo uhm, let's not consider the price, and i want an Automatic since my dad won't let us use manual car due to traumatic events before. This will be my only car until i graduate college and Yup Trunk space aren't really necessary
I can’t speak for the other cars but let me tell you some drawbacks of the 370z you should think about. First is that it has kinda bad blind spots on the sides and the rear windshield is very small to look out of. Another thing is the technology in the car is very outdated compared to the other cars so don’t expect any fancy screens or navigation. Overall I think 370z is the best option for you since it’s your first car and has less power then the others. The mustang for example has quite a lot of power and can be hard to handle especially as a new driver
love your videos. i just got my nismo and i really do love it. i could NOT agree more with your opinion on the seats. picked it up in frisco TX and drove back to little rock AR. man i couldn't stop fidgeting, but i kept remembering the car i was driving lol
Well that would just be a problem with 370z’s in general if that were the case. Never heard of those type of problems from this car and I don’t have warranty so 🤷🏻♂️
@@adamgalindo yes this CSC is a problem for all 370z . Its like guaranteed to fail just matter of when. Mine failed and had it replaced under warranty.
If you buy a base model don’t waste money trying to make it look like a Nismo. If you add up all the features. Aero package, Recaro seats, Rays wheels, 3.92 limited slip differential, sport brakes, $4,700 satellite package, suspension package, Nismo package alone will bring premium resale value. Take a pen to paper and figure those costs up. Go under a base model and a Nismo model on a lift and you’ll see a difference.
It’s nothing too big to worry about, chances of it happening are pretty low I think and if it does it won’t be that expensive and would just be a fix it ticket. And congrats btw! Hope you enjoy it!
Its not just your nismo 370z for the trunk not opening everytime. My 2004 enthusiasts 350z has that same problem too and it only has the oem spoiler. Also the trunk doesn't stay open in the cold, it will close immediately. In the hot it only stays open for about 3 minutes then it will close. I think its time for new trunk struts.
Love the look of the 370z but once the 400z comes out the older models will be super out dated. I have heard that the engine in the infinity coupe(forgot model name) isn't that great of an engine. I believe it has two models. A 400 hp one and a 500 hp one. I like to believe the 400z will be fitted with the 400 hp one. Plus I have heard Nissan's quality is shiet right now especially of the stupid auto transmission. Hope the manuals are more durable. Nice cars when they are new but you don't see very many old ones out on the streets as of they all just broke down and died(350z).
So it's just the Z, bot 400Z. And while the inside of the 350/370 will be outdated the body style will not be. And I see 350's and 370's all the time and I live in Birmingham, AL. Hell, I just saw a old man driving a 350Z Nismo convertible.....lol!
Nice Z, you should of kept the Nismo Muffler and just upgraded your Cats to Berk HFC's. The high flow utilizes the true dual exhaust. I have a 11 G37 sports coupe- upgraded to IPL/NISMO H pipe with true dual midpipe with Berk HFC and Tanabe Axleback. It sounds amazing like a true Skyline. It is quiet when you are cruising but sounds like a monster when you open up. No drone and very little rasp from HFC. I love those wheels.
Yea that probably would’ve been a great sounding set up as well, I plan on getting the motordyne shockwave exhaust but I’ve been on a waitlist for nearly 10 months!
That’s crazy tho. I had 2 eclipses as well before my Zs…. Tbh the power jump didn’t feel that different. My fbo e85 3g eclipse actually hanged with my z when it was stock to like 100-110 but top end on the VQ is DIFFERENT
Is this a car you would want to own?
outdated tbh. Luckily there will be a refresh :)
no but the 400z will be lol
I own a 2019 Nismo and yes it is worth the upgrade! Best car I have ever driven.
I'm actually in the market to look for one, are they very reliable? And do they need many repairs?
So far after 5,000 miles nothing has gone wrong. You gotta remember that it is a Nissan after all so it’s probably one of the most reliable sports cars out there
Drive the Z as a daily, everyday everyone wants to race you, even though you just want to cruise.✌
I feel you on that one 😂
Can't even go to the shop without somebody wanting a race 😂
Happens to me all the time also
why entertain them
People with pickup trucks always bother me. They always tell me how fast their truck is. I ask them how their truck handle once they go over 140 mph. They just say they never do that.
I have 19 370z Nismo tech, completely agree with your statement with it being too quiet but it does have better flow because it's a true dual exhaust :D
Yup you’re right, I believe it’s the reason the Nismo has slightly more power than a base 370. You should cut the muffler off 👀
Personally I try to stay quiet because I have enough sheriffs following me around. I don’t need anything to get more attention.
I'm up grading from a Fiat Abarth.
I think I'm going to love this car.
With driver mod, you'd be suprised how many cars you could beat in a straight line with this car.
Depends on the car, but with some simple mods it can be pretty quick. And if you boost it, then that’s a different story lol
@@adamgalindo yea at 500-600whp you’re beating most cars on the road lol.
i wish i could have gotten the nismo but around here (Quebec,Canada) a used nismo with like 40k-50k miles are like 40 000-45 000 $(CAD) so i got a base model with 6000 miles for 30 000 $(CAD)
Hey man a Z is still a Z 🔥
Nice, that price gap is insane...its starting to get crazy everywhere. With that $ you saved you could just snag a full NISMO body kit for around 1k (US)...they have roughly the same power and most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Just found a place called z1 motorsports and they carry a ton of OEM products, should be able to get everything necessary to convert the base into NISMO (not sure about drivetrain). This OEM kit is pretty nice www.z1motorsports.com/front-bumper/nissan/oem-2015-nismo-370z-parts-conversion-kit-front-and-rear-bumperfascia-p-13245.html) the only problem would be the color. You might be able to find a wrap that matches your car and use that for the kit pieces. Looks like they also sell all the OEM NISMO badges too, toss those on and boom got a NISMO.
Usually, I'd stray away from putting a high end kit on a base car (i.e. people putting hellcat kits on their sxts), but with the Z the performance difference is minimal. If you want more power you could just grab a CAI,headers, and a tune (new exhaust would be nice too).
@@CM20022 Yeah that's what I thought too I could get the nismo bodykit and with just an exhaust upgrade it could match the nismo in term of power sadly where I live the exhaust law are pretty strict and I know a 370z get loud with an aftermarket exhaust but I'm still thinking of doing it.
My 2nd car (Sentra SER Spec-V) got one and I never got pulled over in like 3y.
Maybe get some nismo seat too since the base one are kinda lacking.
But yeah for the money I saved going with a base I could build like a nice turbo Z and still have leftover money.
Even though the Nismo cost more the extra’s are worth it. I just can’t figure the guys who buy the base then try to make it look like the Nismo spending all that money. Besides the resale value is much more on the Nismo.
@@chodkowski01 Well I guess it depends on who is buying the car i don't think it's worth an extra 15k when the cars has like 8-10 x more millage.
You can even argue that right now it's even worth less since the 400z is about to come out and is gonna cost the same price as per say used Nismo.
I think the Nismo is great just not 15k for 10 times the milles more great especially when you can make a base even better then one with that kind of money.
The Z are affordable, fun the drive and is manual. Yes it might not be fast and technology are dated.. but do you really care when the trade off are full engagement with the car?
Exactly!
I know that a "scion" isn't anywhere near a Z, but I wanted to say that I share the experience of being fully engaged with your car. Sadly I no longer have my Scion.
Which scion was it?
@@adamgalindo 2014 Scion TC. It is A LOT of fun to drive, when lowered to the ground. 6 speed.
great vid!
Thank you appreciate it! 🙏
Good review bro I own a automatic 7speed 370z I’m envious of you right now🤧😂 and the blind spots on the 370z are major!!!! I basically say a quick prayer before I switch lanes
Thanks man! Yea they really are 😂
You have the power to accelerate and you will get use to trusting the mirrors.
Blind spots. Do you see out of your Z, cuz I don't
Nice review and video. I test drove a 2020 Nismo today with 13k miles on it as I have been wanting one for a while now. I drove my '06 G35 Coupe to the dealership to do the test drive. Due to the current car shortage they wanted $46k for it and that's just ridiculous considering they were $45k brand new. It was also already modded with exhaust, intake and coil overs. Power was good but the interior is very dated. It was fun to drive, but not $46k fun. I'm going to wait a little longer for prices to come down. Keeping the G for now.
Yea smart choice 46k seems really extreme and isn’t justified for the car, I would just wait, look for older models around 2015-2017 or just wait for the 400Z lol
@@adamgalindo Yep. Also, I'm with you on the clutch feel. Don't know how to describe it but it feels "weird". Almost like they were trying to make it easier to drive by softening the spring, but it ends up having a weird engagement point. After the test drive I got back in my G and the clutch felt way heavier, easier to engage and non-slippery.
That’s horrible for the price. You could get a boosted V1 for $27-35k.
Used car prices going up is another issue. Curious to see how inflation will be affecting their prices.
@@adamgalindo the 400z has a lot of 370z in it.
I mean this car is very well worth it if you just jump straight into boosting the car right away, instead of doing an bolts on.
I’ve been thinking about that as well. I don’t know if I should do bolt ons or just boost it in the future
@@adamgalindo really depends on what your goals. If you want to show some dominance on the street then boosting is the way to go. Your not going to beat an fully tuned E-85 , 392 charger or 5.0 with 340whp. I know because I use to run an 341whp 370z and got walked on by an fully tuned GT350 quite easily, he gave me the gap, about 2 car length.
@@johnnyboi5661 Are you auto or manual. I was able to pull on an unmodified 392 Hemi Challenger and multiple 5.0 mustangs and one cammed 5.7L Camaro
Love the review. Felt honest and genuine. Hope you'll review the 400z one day.
Thanks appreciate it! Me too man!
They’re gonna appreciate in value. The 400 is a slouch, in my opinion. But whether or not it’s true, I still believe the 350z/370z eras will go up in value. Hate it or love it, the heritage is too strong, if you’re a person (not saying you, Adam lol) that’s aware of the JDM scene.
Agreed they have already been going up in value, especially the Nismo manuals. I do like the 400z tho, seems promising
so theres this sti at my school, my friend said that he loved it. I responded by saying that i dont really like it, the only wrx's that i like are the 22bs. I heard the sti coming around the corner, as it got closer i heard the sound and i said "wait, that's not the wrx" and then one of these comes rolling around the corner, it was something straight out of an anime. It went full throttle down the strait-away, it was insane.
I got a 2018 370Z NISMO tech everything factory but I like how your exhaust sound
I had an old outdated car many years ago. It was a 1967 GT fastback mustang and I wish I still had that old outdated car still. I bought my Nismo brand new in 2015 for $43,000 out the door. The base was $30,000. I figured the body kit, recaros, sport brakes, wider Rays wheels, $4,700 satellite communications package, suspension, exhaust, 3.92 differential gears vs 3.69 (base & sport) much better resale value than base was worth the extra $13,000 for the Nismo. As far as the quiet exhaust I have enough sheriffs following me around, I don’t need the extra attention. In 15-20 years when manuals no longer exist people will be looking for your Nismo to buy and they won’t mind that it’s outdated.
That’s awesome and yea I agree I kinda like the fact that it has an old school feel!
I wish I could find one for that price because over in Houston even sport touring trims go for around 30k to 35k with the same amount of miles
Really? Why is that? Could just take some time, I was in the market for months before the right one came up and I bought it from another state
@@adamgalindo I own a V1 nismo, and the prices I have seen for base models in Dallas are terrible. People want 20k for a clapped out base model and they used to be around 7-11k. All 370z owners got them stonks now
Damn that’s crazy!
Yeah man I’ve been trying to do more looking around at other states since I do see they’re way cheaper outside of my state
@@x-retsu3220 bro pricing in Texas overall seems horrible for the 370z
Nismo is NOT worth another 10 to 15 grand more than my 18 Sport Tech Z have 15k miles on it and makes almost 400hp to the tire .
still a car i want it some day
Dream Z! had a DE for 5 years I think I’d like to have the younger bro too but that’s when I’m in that position to get one. Also blind spots for Z’s are terrible one thing in common
If you set up your side mirrors and rear view mirror correctly you can eliminate the blind spots in the Z. Hint, side mirrors need to be adjusted outward. Why do we need to see our door handles??? When your mirrors are set up correctly, a vehicle that is in your rear view and trying to pass you on your left or right, just as it is about to disappear from your rear view your side mirror will pick it up. There is a video that teaches you how to set your mirrors.
I have driven mine for over 6 years already and it’s no longer a problem.
Another thing that bothers me is the chatter from the manuals 🤣
@@jnmaz066 bro yes it be getting me worried sometimes
No chatter in my 2017. Learned early to touch it only when I need to shift gears and when I’m done leave it alone. It’s a bad habit to leave your hand on it and it will cause early wear.
Thanks for your video looking at 1 and they want 41k...16k miles 1 owner ...thinking of just getting a Camaro or vette...lol...dam but that nismo sexy ...
Wow that’s a bit pricey but low miles. It depends on what you’re looking for, if you’re trying to go fast in a straight line then the maro or vette would probably be a better option but can’t argue with that last sentence 😂
Thanks bro...I just have to think it through.
Just take your time and keep saving your money. Take the time to decide on the cars you would like then take the time to evaluate each one with their pro’s and con’s. In the meantime just keep looking online for the car that you would be happy with at a deal. It took me 9 months to decide. My 3 picks were the Nismo, 2013/14 GT mustang and the Corvette. The Nismo won out.
I got mine cheaper w the same mileage for like 3k less, I love it, it’s super fun, but yes everybody be trying to race 💀
Nice! when did you get it?
That's crazy in Missouri they're going for $40,000+ with 40k plus miles
cool video. Im the owner of a 2020 Nismo. If you were driving back in the 80's and early 90"s, you would appreciate the Anolog feel of the car. Pretty much all cars today offer assistance in driving, not the Z. If you fuck up, its on you. This is why these cars are sought after. One day you will understand. Also, many like myself did not buy this car for the infotainment system. We bought the car for the handling and performance of a naturally asperated true sports car. They are dying fast. Not trying to bashing you but you don"t have a clue yet. This is a car that will not exist again in its current form.
Yea I 100% agree, that is also why I chose to get a 370z because I knew it was one of very few cars left that still have that old school feel while still having some tech
Nice video. I am learning all about the Nissan 370 Z series because my son is interested in one. Personally I am a dodge hellcat guy so this is a real learning experience. Thank you for the video! 👍
Thank you man appreciate it! 🙏 Hellcats sound insane so I don’t blame you 😂
Dodge make some interesting cars but for reliability you can’t beat the 370z
Dodge Challenger Hellcat/ Scat pack/ Nissan GTR Premium & Nissan 370z Premium are my dream cars thank you!
I want to buy one so bad but I cant find any in socal :( If you ever decide to sell.. Please DM me! I can travel
Try looking in other states, I had to get mine from Arizona, and got it but don’t ever plan on selling it unless I had to
As soon as I heard he cut off the factory muffler is when I decided to turn off the video Best wishes
You don’t like loud?
I wish I could afford a 370z. I can't even afford a 350z. Maybe with the 400z I'll be able to move up to a bicycle with baseball cards in the spokes.
Haha man you got it, just give it some time, work hard, save up some money and you can get it eventually
Shit in my area a 350z with 100k miles on it is like $13000. There's a bunch of base model 370s for 15-20k which seems like a way better choice
@@adamgalindo Not a man, and it's a wish of mine to own one because I have medical debt and other obligations that must be addressed. The more I look at at these 350Z's the more they resemble fat ticks.
@@gotworc Yeah, unfortunately out of my price range :(
was going to get one but im waiting for the 400z now

@@adamgalindo thanks man! Your channel is very helpful!
Very informative video! Looking at buying one too.
Glad you found it helpful!
Everything you hate about gauges and infotainment system mean nothing, as the car ages, those old parts will bring back nostalgia and be a feature to the car.
True, I really don’t care about it since I didn’t buy the car for fancy technology
Totally agree!
I think it's just the fact that the car costs so much and it still has shit from 2009 or whenever it came out originally
This was such a good video I’ve been interested in the 350z to be my first car but got an e46 instead & now want to get a 370z nismo so this informed me really well on what to expect
Thanks! E46 are nice cars too 🔥
Love mine
So far yes
I see glimpse of blind spot mirror in the driver side view mirror, does it come with it? I have been thinking of getting the blind side mirror for my Z but I have not found that kind a blend in with the side view. Any suggestions?

Never have but would love to drive an s13
@adamgalindo nothing fancy about it. I was nearly being humorous about the lack of tech and amenities.
5:43 look at that sparkle in the paint🤩
Idk why you’re complaining about boot space and suspension stiffness…you bought a sports car dude…they aren’t meant to be as comfortable as your day to day car 😂
I wouldn’t say I’m complaining, just stating the facts. I mention in the vid that you don’t buy a car like this for that stuff anyways
@@adamgalindo fair enough bro. Just wanted to take a poke at ya haha. Meant no offence by my comment. Love the car and I hope you keep enjoying it! 🙃
Haha no offense taken man, appreciate it!
Hey I just test drove a z today and absolutely loved it! But literally the only issue I have that's stopping me from getting one is the clutch. Like you said, it feels weird. I drove it for like 45 min and I couldn't get used to it. Also, disengaging the clutch from 1st to 2nd gear is really rough and every other gear switch seems smooth. is that the same for you or just the one that drove? lol. and if so does that clutch assembly fix it?
Hey I know exactly what you mean and it’s what I felt as well when first driving it and it was starting to honestly get annoying to drive, so I researched ways to fix it and found the clutch assembly. It’s a game changer and makes it a lot easier and smoother to drive so yes it fixes it!
I didn’t watch the entire video, but the RJM clutch pedal assembly fixes this entirely.
Just go on eBay and for $20 buy the replacement spring they sell for the clutch will take care of that.
My 03 350 came with power seats😂😂😂 I feel you on the trunk opening part. My z doesn’t have a wing and sometimes does the same thing it may be the latch itself
I love 370zs but damn I don’t think I should get one now 😭
Why not 😭
@@adamgalindo idk honestly I love it but it might be uncomfortable for an every day use because of how little space it has and I also don’t like the outdated indicators, navigation system, and radio buttons. I know it can be replaced with something like apple carplay but it’ll be nice if it looked a little more modern
I feel you, yea it’s not the best daily but it’s a perfect weekend sports car
great review
Thanks!
1000 miles n 6 months?
4,000
Did you really downshift to 1st? You lost me with complaining about the clutch, suspension, and the location of the alcantara on the steering wheel. I guess you did say in another video that you're 19 years old, so I'll cut you some slack.
Lol what’s the problem? I wanted to give an idea of how the rev match worked and I wasn’t going very fast. I’m mentioning pretty valid things that lots of other Nismo owners and z owners in general have complained about as well
I want to ask Fairlady Z NISMO what is the difference between the internal parts of VQ37VHR engine of this car and ordinary VQ37VHR? What's the difference?
Only difference is that the Nismo comes with a higher flow exhaust and is tuned which is why it produces slightly more power. I believe the rest of the engine is the exact same
AHH the clutch ... .I own a 370 in manual, Have owned 1972 skylines in manual, Silvia's S10, S110 . P510wtk's . 910 turbo all manual . 370 is odd and hard to get use too,. even harder if rev matching is turned on ..Im keen to change its system to old school .
lol, i own a base 370z manual so it didn't come with the rev match feature, and i've driven one with SRM, and i can say the one with the rev match feature is much easier to drive.
You can literally take your sweet time on both the up and down shifts, with SRM, but without it, you have to time it properly while adding in gas at the right time for both up and downshifts.
Fast Intentions CF Exhaust with 18" resonators. Do that. Then if / when you move to a NON DEQ testing area, go for their longtube headers. Oil Cooler is a must. Upgrade the radiator. You can use the coin trick on the back hatch. You need to buy all of the following: Pioneer "screen" (Btw: We used to call these "aftermarket car stereos"... is the new Trendy thing just to say "Screen"? ); Pick out a nice 4-5 channel amp. You're going to want to run the front speakers fully active (meaning, this will take time/effort/energy to properly time align, but once you do, you'll finally have decent sound in there). I'd recommend something nice from RF for amps, or JL audio. You can get a custom sub box for the back, which, will put more weight over the rear tires. While you take the door panels off, get some sound deadening on the doors.
Brakes: Z1 2 piece rotors, assuming you actually hit the canyons... which to me, was/is the entire point of owning the car, not putting around "flexin bruh" in the city... oh and sound deadening in the rear area of the car, mainly around the spare tire area will help once you upgrade that stereo and doing real/actual road trips ("You mean leave the city bruh...?!" I know this is a radical concept for some car owners, but there is a LIFE outside of the big cities... and much better roads to drive). I've driven several national parks across the west coast and see close to Zero 350 370z's out there, even though I can fit a weeks worth of camping gear in the car, so don't even try it with the "I got no room bruh" excuse. Leave the city, go see the world, and you'll get much better photos of the car then the dime a dozen stupid parking garage photos that millenials seem to mindlessly gravitate towards.
Other than that you can spend money on a tune, but don't expect much. Short of putting up around $20,000 to PROPERLY supercharge/turbo, tune, fix fueling issues, transmission issues = just start saving your money for the new Z which will be here around the end of the year, and better yet, wait til end of 2023 for the sociopaths running car dealerships to actually sell for MSRP. The new Z will be much more cost effective to modify with a tune, some exhaust work, and I Believe the cooling on the VR30 is much less of an issue than the VQ... oh and you get your "Screen"
Wow thanks for all the advice! Don’t plan on getting the new z as of right now. Will have to wait until the NISMO comes out at least
We have the same rock chip spot lol!
Called my guy the next day and got it fixed but left a small mark that doesn’t go away
No way! 😂 Yea mine was filled in by the dealer before I bought it but it’s still pretty visible
I have a 2013 nismo - going on 4 years now. Should make a video.
Nice you should. You still like it?
7:08 you should have gotten a touring with sport package. 1:04 I have always wondered how nismo exhaust note sounds compare to base or sport package. Great content! 👏👍 Thx for sharing.
Yea the Nismo exhaust is just less restrictive but it sounds pretty much the same. And thank you I appreciate it! 🙏
@@adamgalindo actually the nismos come with an H pipe exhaust while the Base and sport comes with a Y pipe so once you open up the mufflers the tone is much more deeper on the nismo. I personally have a base and did an aftermarket H pipe conversion and the difference is pretty substantial
Oh wow I knew it was different but didn’t know the specifics, thanks for the info 👍
@@adamgalindo No problem 👍
what did you mean by muffler delete? Did you get a different exhaust? Thx
They cut the muffler off the exhaust and just welded in some 2.5 inch piping to replace the muffler
I agree the interior is very outdated.
This is the car I’m planning to get
I just bought a Red 2017 Nismo Tech (V2) 6-speed manual and I am totally satisfied with this car. I don't car that it has an analog display or the inside is outdated. This is the truest form of a sports car. I was going to wait to get the 2023 Z but I knew I would not be able to afford the Nismo model so I opted for the affordable one. Only paid $37,000 and it has only 13,000 miles on it with only one owner. And it was garage kept like I will keep it has well. Man this is a fun car to drive. But this gas cost ain't no joke right now so it will probably be parked along side my 2015 Lexus GS 350 F-Sport for the time being and I'll just drive my everyday car which is a VW Passat.
Wow 37k for only 13k miles is a pretty good deal especially in todays market! Nice find!
@@adamgalindo Ikr!
I was thinking to buy one in 2020. Now I should have bought one considering the price of cars skyrocketing. Back then in 2020, the 370Z NISMO was still holding it's value considering it was a NISMO and pretty scarce in production.
Yup it’s pretty crazy to know that I could still sell the car and get all my money back if not more
@@adamgalindo yea I always knew the nismo would hold some of its value and not depreciate crazy like a non-nismo but 35k was too expensive even at the time for me.
The Gauge Custer is right out of the 1980.

Lol that just proves how fun of a car they are
@@adamgalindo true facts fellow 370z brother
Just sold my de :( I’m thinking of upgrading to a nismo in a few years. Either that or a n54 335i but the manuals are hard to find

It is good for people tht like power you just gotta build it 🤣

6 feet
I’m planning on getting one. Im 6,2 just wanted to know if I should bring that im 6’2. Don’t want to be crammed in
You’re probably at the upper threshold of being able to fit comfortably but you should sit in one before buying it just to make sure
I’m in the same area as you bro. I’m debating getting a Nismo 370z as well, and was wondering if your would be down to meet up and let me check it out up close 👍
Hey man, maybe. Where are you located?
@@adamgalindo Stanton, think we went to the same High School
No way, really?! Yea I’m down, what’s your insta?

Where did you find that for 30k ? What year is it and where do you live ? And what year did you buy it.
It’s a 2015 and I bought it in November of 2020, I live in California but bought the car from Arizona and had it shipped here
@@adamgalindo ohhh ok ! Yeah man I have a brz rn but wanted something with some more potential and was heavily considering a nismo 370z . The video was great btw ! Would you consider making a second video on it ? Like explaining anything new you might’ve found out as well as the potential for the car mods wise ?
Was this from a dealer or private purchase?
An Audi dealership
How much would the insurance be like
I have a family plan with my parents and siblings and got a really good deal, around 100 a month
quick question is it possible to get the old spoiler installed onto the car?
From the Nismo v1? Easiest way would be to find someone with a same color v1 willing to trade hatches with you. Otherwise you’re going to have holes on the hatch by removing the v2 wing. Meaning if you wanted a clean install you’d have to buy a replacement hatch and install the wing onto the new one
@@adamgalindo yeah that’s what I thought it’s unfortunate bc I think the wing looks sooo good and it compliments the 370z very well too bad they removed it for the newer models
I'm in the choosing of this or a 2020 honda civic Type R
Personally I think not only does a Nismo look better but also performs better. I’ve never driven a type r though. Type r seems like a better daily forsure. Plus fwd is no fun compared to rwd
I had an S2000 and a 2018 Type R and sold it recently. As much as I love my Honda’s I’m looking to get into something I can get more power out of for less amount of effort I would put into a Honda. The s2K was great but needed soooo much work to extract good power out of it. The type R is for sure the better daily driver tho, but it’s just something about the rear wheel drive that gets me, so I’m looking into getting a 370z sport instead of a nismo probably. I feel like if modded correctly you can have yourself a baby GTR. Lol
Test drove a used 2020 and it was garbage. Ride quality sucked, blind spots sucked, the transmission sucked it felt like it was gonna break and rattled like crazy on first gear. Interior sucks, infotainment sucks, roid noise sucked, etc. For 30k used, this car felt like a cheap outdated car.
Like I mentioned, wasn’t meant for a comfortable ride or a fancy interior. Transmission is a little funky and took me a while to get used to and yea it does make a lot of weird sounds and rattles but I’ve gotten used to it. To each their own ✌️
@@adamgalindo I get ya but this car is going around 30k to 45k used. No way a car that came out in 2009 with little changes is worth that price. My 22k 2017 Civic Si is a better car, slower, but better. The car felt cheap AF and the transmission felt clunky like a truck. The car was a hassle to drive. At 30k to 40k youre expecting refinement especially on a 10+ year platform.
Yea the price argument is valid, it really doesn’t make sense for the price but I’m a just a huge Nissan fan and decided to go all in with the Nismo edition. Nismo wouldn’t make sense for most people
It was garbage because the previous owner probably dogged it out.
@@BamaScorpio69 it only had 3k miles on it. Ended up getting a 5.0 Mustang, best car ive ever owned.
The interior looks and feels so freaking cheap what made me never even consider one since it came out
It’s definitely not the best quality but it’s really not too bad, especially on the Nismo tech some things are slightly improved which make it look a little more modern
@@adamgalindo compared to other cars at the same time it is not really modern but putting this aside i meant more that its all plastic and even the littlr alcantara or leather does not feel premium. Makes me wonder why after all the years we dont see many 370z with all leather interiors custom made after purchase. If i would get a nismo i would ass apple car play and invest in wrapping all parts: doors, dash etc in nappa leather and alcantara to make it feel and look great
Yea definitely falls behind when compared to other cars. Wish it at least came with apple car play but I plan on adding that in the future
Can you adjust the height on the recaro seats?
Not the overall height but the cog adjusters on the side allow you to tilt the seat up and down slightly
Which one is better? 20 370z, 16 gt mustang nor an Maseratu granturismo 2012?? As an 1st cR?
370z is technically the slowest in a straight line but would be the best at handling. Mustang gt is a great option for both a daily and a fun sports car. Same with the Maserati however I find the mustang is too common and I’m not the biggest fan of the Maseratis looks. Go with what you think would be most fitting for your lifestyle and would meet your goals on what you want the car to do
@@adamgalindo i mean as an Women and an freshman? I honestly can't pick lol
Let me ask a few more questions then? Are we taking price into consideration? Will this be your only car? Do you want a manual or automatic? Is cargo space important to you?
@@adamgalindo uhm, let's not consider the price, and i want an Automatic since my dad won't let us use manual car due to traumatic events before. This will be my only car until i graduate college and Yup Trunk space aren't really necessary
I can’t speak for the other cars but let me tell you some drawbacks of the 370z you should think about. First is that it has kinda bad blind spots on the sides and the rear windshield is very small to look out of. Another thing is the technology in the car is very outdated compared to the other cars so don’t expect any fancy screens or navigation. Overall I think 370z is the best option for you since it’s your first car and has less power then the others. The mustang for example has quite a lot of power and can be hard to handle especially as a new driver

Does it have Apple car play doe
Sadly no 😔
But you can have it installed tho. th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=370z+apple+carplay+
Would be nice to have one, these things are expensive
They are, but you got it man! Just give it time ✌️
@@adamgalindo i got an m37x that has the same 370z motor and its awd so its pretty cool too, but to have a 370z also would be cool
Damn that sounds cooler than a 370 lol
Nismo isnt worth the extra 10k - 15k.
Common problem is the CSC, change it while you have the warranty.
Fuel pump will fail too.
Well that would just be a problem with 370z’s in general if that were the case. Never heard of those type of problems from this car and I don’t have warranty so 🤷🏻♂️
@@adamgalindo yes this CSC is a problem for all 370z . Its like guaranteed to fail just matter of when. Mine failed and had it replaced under warranty.
How many miles did you have when it failed, I’m approaching 39k miles right now
@@adamgalindo the csc fails randomly, my car is at 70k miles and it’s starting to fail
If you buy a base model don’t waste money trying to make it look like a Nismo. If you add up all the features. Aero package, Recaro seats, Rays wheels, 3.92 limited slip differential, sport brakes, $4,700 satellite package, suspension package, Nismo package alone will bring premium resale value. Take a pen to paper and figure those costs up. Go under a base model and a Nismo model on a lift and you’ll see a difference.
Do you ever get a hard time with cops with no front license plate?
So far not yet but fingers crossed 🤞
@@adamgalindo bro I just ordered a Z and I’m so worried about the front license plate situation in CA lol
It’s nothing too big to worry about, chances of it happening are pretty low I think and if it does it won’t be that expensive and would just be a fix it ticket. And congrats btw! Hope you enjoy it!
How much did you get it for?
I got mine for just about 30k
Awesome car dude..
Thanks bro, you too!
Does the muffler delete turn a engine light on or something wrong to it
I just got a 2016 370z automatic but its to quiet
No not at all I’ve had no check engine lights at all since I got the muffler delete and it’s been months
Thanks bro ill be doing my muffler delete soon
Where did you get that cubby to replace the swith blank on the center counsel by the cup holder
Look up 370z cubby button delete and it should pop up, I got mine from eBay but there’s other sites
Nay.
I think it sounds better with the stock exhaust to be honest. But it is his car so he can do whatever he wants.
To each their own, was just way too quiet for my taste
What a beauty. Nismos keeps there value very well. I have a base model and the resale value really sucks.
Its not just your nismo 370z for the trunk not opening everytime. My 2004 enthusiasts 350z has that same problem too and it only has the oem spoiler.
Also the trunk doesn't stay open in the cold, it will close immediately. In the hot it only stays open for about 3 minutes then it will close. I think its time for new trunk struts.
Oh wow yea probably getting new struts is best
I also started with an eclipse a 2001 GT Fed-Spec and a 2007 eclipse spyder gt.
No way that’s awesome!
Love the look of the 370z but once the 400z comes out the older models will be super out dated. I have heard that the engine in the infinity coupe(forgot model name) isn't that great of an engine. I believe it has two models. A 400 hp one and a 500 hp one. I like to believe the 400z will be fitted with the 400 hp one. Plus I have heard Nissan's quality is shiet right now especially of the stupid auto transmission. Hope the manuals are more durable. Nice cars when they are new but you don't see very many old ones out on the streets as of they all just broke down and died(350z).
So it's just the Z, bot 400Z. And while the inside of the 350/370 will be outdated the body style will not be. And I see 350's and 370's all the time and I live in Birmingham, AL. Hell, I just saw a old man driving a 350Z Nismo convertible.....lol!
Nice Z, you should of kept the Nismo Muffler and just upgraded your Cats to Berk HFC's. The high flow utilizes the true dual exhaust.
I have a 11 G37 sports coupe- upgraded to IPL/NISMO H pipe with true dual midpipe with Berk HFC and Tanabe Axleback. It sounds amazing like a true Skyline. It is quiet when you are cruising but sounds like a monster when you open up. No drone and very little rasp from HFC.
I love those wheels.
Yea that probably would’ve been a great sounding set up as well, I plan on getting the motordyne shockwave exhaust but I’ve been on a waitlist for nearly 10 months!
Was hoping to see the engine 🥲
Oops should have recorded a clip of it but mine is completely stock and is the exact same as the normal 370z except with a red engine cover
“We buy this car to go fast”
It’s a z 😂😂
That’s crazy tho. I had 2 eclipses as well before my Zs…. Tbh the power jump didn’t feel that different. My fbo e85 3g eclipse actually hanged with my z when it was stock to like 100-110 but top end on the VQ is DIFFERENT
Damn that’s sick! My eclipse is stock though so it’s different 😂
"Ah"
"Um"
"So...."
Not the best at words, what can I say 🤷🏻♂️
