Beautiful car! Bravo Nissan! The only zonk is missing carbon fiber in the shift knob area. That would have taken the interior to another level. Glad to see the carbon fiber in the steering wheel though. As usual, great job Joe and Lori! Thank you.
Man this new Z is a beautiful piece of art! I saw one for myself at the State Fair of Texas and fell in love with it. Thanks for this review and of course thank you Lori for the hard work behind the camera!👍👍
@Ben C Yeah yeah, blah blah. Why does Every car comment section have a comment from some guy who needs to prove himself to complete strangers? "I drive this... I have this... I do this...." Sad.
Laurie's camerawork is Excellent!!! She really highlights the details of every vehicle they review along with Joe's fantastic descriptions. Joe and Laurie make a wonderful channel. I never miss a review! Thank you both. 😊
Now I drive Serena Nismo which is a minivan. This minivan is just amazing. Nismo did an awesome job. Next, I bought Aura Nismo which is e-power. I just can't wait. But this Nismo Z is awesome
It needs a stroker kit with a forged crank for 800hp. No the stock engines crank cracks with over 530hp. The engine is trash and it is cheaper to swap a Nissan GT 3.8L engine than it is to rebuild this new 3.0
I think the nismo is definitely worth the price. Thats very smart of them to make the base model and other models affordable. Sure, you could get a used 09 GTR for around the same price, but obviously upkeep is way more expensive and no manual transmission.
I would like mine in blue, please. Gorgeous car! I’m absolutely stoked about your channel getting to one million subs in the next few months. I appreciate your hard work, Joe and Lori.
Those wheels are gorgeous. Makes me wonder if their supplied by RAYS just like all nismo wheels from the past. Or has Nismo decided to go with their own design and manufacturing. They look incredibly similar to CE28n and ZE40s mixe
One is directly from the factory and has a warranty; the other is modified by an aftermarketer, which doesn't modify the suspension to improve handling too.
Nice review! You talk about the graphics but you didn't really talk about the Nismo body kit. It looks like it has an extended lip and maybe rear valance? Would love to know more about the body changes for the nismo.
I got to sit in a Z at the New York International Auto Show back in April. I’m a fan of Nissan and all I can say is “shut up and take my money!” Someday I’ll own one of these.
For the future vid like to see the base vs NISMO for common tests, 0-60, rolling start, braking, time around some track…etc… so I can figure out if the upgrades from NISMO are worth the costs.
Yeah I think the big "debate" will be a simple tune/exhaust combo on a basic Z... I calculated to do everything the "right" way on the Z - it's going to be about $7000 in costs once you start doing coilovers/tires/intercoolers/2-piece rotors/swaybars/tune/exhuast Vs. someone that just wants the unique "Nismo" version from the factory. Do checkout what AMS is doing on theirs... pretty insane numbers for bolt ons/tune/upgraded turbos
i been stuck between supra or Z. until now. the Z seems to still have it's soul. i own multiple Z's so it would just be right. & familiar. not only name, but chassis too. to go with this.
Just came back from a joyride in my 350 and this video popped up! 🔥🔥😎😎. Thanks Joe for great contents as always. Wondering how many twinkies can it fit in the door pocket lol.
Nice! This car was already on my short list and the fact they already have the NISMO parts for it is a no brainer for me. It really takes away the sting of not being able to get the Proto spec. Again well done Joe and Lori and well done Nissan!
I don’t even care if it’s slower than the new 6 speed Supra. This Z actually comes with expensive parts now that makes it worth it’s price. It would be even better if they add a carbon fiber roof.
This new Z is a home run. Crazy potential, beautiful looks, and a lot of fun for not much money. I dont know what to get after my 370z, a new Z or C7 GS.
And Lori being the best in the whole automotive industry,working that camera like a champ like always,and just like always I’ll see you on the next ride.
That is beautiful. That's definitely my favorite iteration of the car so far. I can't wait to see how it evolves over the next few years! Thanks for your coverage Joe! Love the channel sir! Oh, do you know if this graphics package will be available as an option? And I like the prop rod.
I went to my local Nissan dealership here in Sydney, Australia, and put down a deposit for a Nismo Z, even though hasn't been formally announced yet. From what Joe is showing here, if this is a teaser for how a factory production Nismo Z may resemble, I just can't wait!
@@robklarich572 Hi Rob. There was nothing specific or new. Just that it was in development but couldn't give more details with regards to specs or when to expect.
With the 370Z you could tell it was a Nismo from across the street, wether V1 or V2. Nissan must really be in a bad place if the best they could do (aesthetically) from the Nismo team was wheels, callipers and then just a lot of stickers.. pretty underwhelming when a car needs big-ass signs on it telling you what it is.
I don't mind the prop-rod. You're not gonna drive with the hood open 😅 This new Z is lovely imo. I had a Z33 and this looks to be a nice upgrade for my garage in the future.
Interesting... Would love to see the specs on everything to see how much room they left for a modest tune or if they will offer a couple of levels of tune that you can purchase as an option before you even drive it off the lot. Don't remember if it was Chevy or Ford that offered tunes as an option on the 4cyl turbo trims of the Camaro and Mustang... 🤔
Fully kitted, please. Suspension is Nismo branded, but who makes it? I assume that the upcoming Nismo version will be something like a street legal GT4. Is the latter coming in the next video? Obviously, I love it.
As a 2018 Sentra Nismo owner, I whole-heartedly approve. Other than the mid muffler they straight piped the rest of the exhaust; HUGE +1 from me for that. Mine also has a smaller decklid spoiler and it's honestly all it needs, not a giant stupid looking thing you eat your lunch on Sucks it's a manual only
I love this car over the supra even know its slightly slower, at least its Japanese, I'm going to buy at least the performance model maybe the Nismo if the price is not too high
Wow.. I hope that they add a larger spoiler on the final consumer nismo. Also it would be nice if they add the red stripe on top of the steering wheel. I am going to wait for the nismo Z to go with my 2017 nismo sentra. Great Review and thank you for the post ..you guys are awesome Aloha!
Love the Z's, great cars to modify but I don't think the Nismo versions worth the extra money, not even with the GT-R but I love what Nissan did with this new Z generation.
Heard rumors it will be around 450ish which is a decent power upgrade over the standard. A decent buy option if you ask me as long as they don't overprice it. maybe somewhere between 55k-60k
Like always love all your videos. And love all those new cars. Love to get my hands on one of the z or the new type r, but with those stupid dealership mark up. I just have to wait. I'm hoping that they'll be out of business soon.
The one car in this price to mod I bet is the tlx type S. I bet it's going to come out on top of the supra and Z when the performance parts are done for the type S.
Fairlady Z owner right here.....where's the convertible Raiti. Or should I just be respectful and ask Nissan. Anyway cool car and u know me...mo POWA to the Moto 🤟
I appreciate the way you skated around all the mobil logos in the flying horses and crap on this car if I ordered this car I would ask him if they could keep that crap off of it you really didn’t say how much horsepower the car has either unless I missed it somehow. I’m guessing about 400 hp? I know that maybe Nissan wouldn’t allow you to see how much horsepower the car had cause they may still be massaging the engine to get as much power out of it as possible I don’t want to announce its power reading until it’s actually available.

Great looking car!! There should be a bigger spoiler though to complete the nismo look. Maybe that’s a modification that they just haven’t displayed yet
Joe, you are a super presenter, so thorough down to the finest detail. Enjoy all your reviews!
Thanks Terry for letting me share it with you
Beautiful car! Bravo Nissan!

As usual, great job Joe and Lori! Thank you.
Good call man! Thanks for being so supportive
A car for every purse and purpose
Don’t judge a car by the paint
You can have any color you like
as long as it's black👍👍
Man this new Z is a beautiful piece of art!
I saw one for myself at the State Fair of Texas and fell in love with it. Thanks for this review and of course thank you Lori for the hard work behind the camera!👍👍
Lori really is the best!
@@RaitisRides the prop rod has to go
@@bryanwashington9511 you know it Bryan!
I love Nissan. The look of this nismo Z is stunning.
This Z is absolutely amazing with the Nismo mods. Might have to upgrade to this in the future!
I like the way that you think!
I really really like it, but I think a wing should be there to just set this whole look off. Kinda like you mentioned.
I like the way that you think Lee!
@Ben C says the guy in the Type-R…
@Ben C ok, do you want a medal or a standing ovation? Lmao
@Ben C cool
@Ben C Yeah yeah, blah blah. Why does Every car comment section have a comment from some guy who needs to prove himself to complete strangers? "I drive this... I have this... I do this...." Sad.

Hey man, your channel has helped me decide on picking up a new Mazda 3 Hatchback :) thanks for all the quality content
That’s so awesome! I’m glad that I could share my car passion with you.
Never expected the Nissan Z Nismo edition to be this fkin gorgeous!
It definitely does look like a really good car to modify.
I remember when I subscribe to this channel at 22k...congrats
Awesome ride! Always been a fan of the Z and they've done an awesome job with this new car.
Looks great they missed throwing in some recaro seats like they did in the last nismo though.
I agree with you!
been waiting to see the Z nismo, im not let down at all, this car just keep on proving that jdm isnt dead
I totally agree with you
This will be my first car!! Great video Joe.
Heck yeah Jeremiah!
Now I drive Serena Nismo which is a minivan. This minivan is just amazing. Nismo did an awesome job.
Next, I bought Aura Nismo which is e-power. I just can't wait.
But this Nismo Z is awesome
Man! This new Z looks amazing! I have yet to ride in one soon!
You will love it Brian!
I am a big fan of Nissan with the Nissan GT-R🤗🤗
Awesome man! You have great taste!
@@RaitisRides thanks, i wish I could be there
@@Oaklomon99YT maybe one day you can make it!
Who isn't?
I Love Nissan, too!
Great job Joe. Your killing it my man. Can't wait to get you to a million subs!
Thanks Chris for being super supportive!
Exactly. He should be there some time next year. He deserves it for doing such a great job.
@@RaitisRides Absolutely Joe we are here with ya for the whole jouney!
Not sure if I missed it but I don't think he mentioned how much HP it's going to have? Only that it can handle up to 800hp, which is insane
I thought I was crazy, had to watch it like 4 times to see if I missed it. Hopefully he reveals it in another vid
It needs a stroker kit with a forged crank for 800hp. No the stock engines crank cracks with over 530hp. The engine is trash and it is cheaper to swap a Nissan GT 3.8L engine than it is to rebuild this new 3.0
The graphics look amazing.
Raiti Has the best videos man
Thank you man for saying that!
Ohhh love the new Z very sporty !
I hope you like the changes.
Wow!!! Love the rims even the lug nuts but definitely needs a wing
I totally agree with you
Nismo looks awesome and perfect!!
I think the nismo is definitely worth the price. Thats very smart of them to make the base model and other models affordable. Sure, you could get a used 09 GTR for around the same price, but obviously upkeep is way more expensive and no manual transmission.

Thanks for being on this crazy journey with us David!
Those wheels are gorgeous. Makes me wonder if their supplied by RAYS just like all nismo wheels from the past. Or has Nismo decided to go with their own design and manufacturing. They look incredibly similar to CE28n and ZE40s mixe
They are Rays.
@@povertyspec9651 Actually, they are not RAYS wheels, but designed and engineered by NISMO.
It'll be interesting to see the actual cost of this vs. taking a regular Z to AMS - AMS is throwing down some insane numbers right now on the VR
One is directly from the factory and has a warranty; the other is modified by an aftermarketer, which doesn't modify the suspension to improve handling too.
I wonder how much more power it's making compared to standard. Love the NISMOs.
450 ho and 442 lb feet of torque.
Yeah & 100000k price tag smh
@@champagnedawgg_ No! Really? That's absurd. Now I'm shaking my head to disappointment
@@manher4335 pfft 1000000k is way too much for some nismo sports car unless dealerships are on crack
@@manher4335 that’s what I’m hearing everywhere man. A total disappointment indeed.
Another great video Joe.Loving that Nismo Z.Keep up the good work .God bless
Nissan did a great job with this car. It whould look amazing in red with black rims.
I agree with you!
@@RaitisRides thank you. Have you seen any amazing jeep builds at SEMA so far ?
The front shape & headlights remind me of the movie, Cars.
Much love to Lori and you Joe from Jamaica 🇯🇲 . The best you are
Hey Joe…..big news! Limited edition chocolate mint twinkies coming out!!
Oh yea, love the Z 👍
Oh I’m ready!
No mention of horsepower or torque and not a peep about Twinkie storage?

Another super video Raiti ! Always learn much from your channel 😀
That means the world!
Just wish they can fit a rectangle fog light under the headlamp, in a dark blue color. Wangan Midnight's Devil Z style would be so cool
Omg I was just looking at this , crazy this just came out. I will have this 1 day!
Excellent review!
Thanks Gerad!
Damn not only is the car beautiful, but those wheels are 🔥
Love it. I honestly wouldn't mind it with the livery too.
i been stuck between supra or Z. until now. the Z seems to still have it's soul. i own multiple Z's so it would just be right. & familiar. not only name, but chassis too. to go with this.
Nah bro Supra modified looks even more insane

You are awesome Kenny! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
11:43 mistake? I dont know about you but my favourite thing is to do a fake manual like a gt3

All these car ads and they are so limited to even get the regular one. Then dealers are asking over 100k for a regular Z, not worth it.
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
Dude long time fan…please do more videos like this based on cars that have been modified. Your knowledge really shines when you get to just riff 🙏🏼
are those stoptech calipers? edit again...OK after seeing the rear calipers I am convinced they are just stoptech calipers.
Is it just me or is Nissan coming back ✌️👍
Those calipers are $6K Racks 😭 but worth every penny.
285 width on the wheels is wild lol i want it

So what's the power gains on the Nismo package?
The one car in this price to mod I bet is the tlx type S. I bet it's going to come out on top of the supra and Z when the performance parts are done for the type S.

Zonk for no bump in HP.
factory with coil overs?? thats dope.
You know it Jordan!
Never really mentioned numbers for the Nismo. Anyone have an idea for a cost?
Here we go!!!!
Let's do this!
@@DIAMONDPLAYZ999 this is not the place to beg people to buy it. Go away.
Great looking car!! There should be a bigger spoiler though to complete the nismo look. Maybe that’s a modification that they just haven’t displayed yet
How much hp and TQ???? And will it come all wheel drive or just rwd
There has never been an AWD Z car and this one wont be either.
Have you heard any news about a new GTR R36? will Nissan make one for the general public?
