14:12 "... that has always been true with the Z, it has never been an affordable bargain car as far as a sports car goes." Well, maybe since the 1990's, but prior to your birth Sarah, the original 1970 240Z was about $3,600. Much less than close comparable 1970 Camaro or Mustang, not to mention the target Jaguar XK-E. Inflation adjusted, the 240Z was just $28,500 (😲) in today money.
It's not just that your reviews are better and more informative than others with a whole crew of people, it's the just right amount of subtle, and not so subtle, humor. It's why you are one of, if not the best reviewer on TH-cam.
Sarah, your technical info fly ins are awesome! You’re given the “established” car channels a run for their money and make them work! Your content has become a fine wine! Keep rocking!
The level of your videos and reviews is on a new level. Remember the abandoned building reviews? Just wanted to say just that you're doing a great job. Great car!!
Love how you turn on the lights during the garage portion so we get a sense of its nighttime appearance. The very first Z-cars here in the U.S. under the Datsun banner were fairly spartan and low-priced but exciting sports cars. It wasn’t until the ZX generation that they started to go upmarket. I’ve owned two and like you have a soft spot for the Z. Despite that, a very fair, unbiased review presented in your typically excellent fashion. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Owned a 500whp 91 300ZX twin turbo for 22 yrs. Better than the 96 GTST Skyline that I had in nearly every way. The ZX is a brilliant car that is sorely missed!
Happy Friday Sarah!!! Thanks for the brief slideways preview on Valencia the other day, I was the silver Jeep that let you into our evening clusterfuck traffic.😁 That car looks and sounds awesome!! Stay excellent!!!😎
I love how during this review, You are so ready to give it the beans that you are speaking very excitedly as you point out all the tech specs! Adorable!
shoulder cracking; for starters, try adding high quality magnesium glycinate, lemon/and or lime water, K2 M-7, D3, add potassium powder too water - that should start helping in a month - take your multi minerals after your evening meal - D3 and K2 can be taken on alternate days. Forgot; buy a big bottle of high quality C - it helps with collagen/muscle/joint tissue amongst a important antioxidant
It's rare and refreshing to see someone say, hey, I don't care what the numbers might be, I like this car better than the other one. People who actually love to drive, and have self confidence, choose cars that make them feel connected, excited and that give them a sense of joy each time they drive. Unless you actually put completely stock, factory cars on a track then a second or so between two cars on a track is completely irrelevant. Drag races sell views but stop light heroics aren't really the reason why most people who can afford performance cars buy them. Most reviewers judge a car based on the vacation standard of review. What that means is they are trying to do the automotive equivalent of judging a town they vacationed in as a great long term destination based on a one week vacation. All they do is play with these cars for a week in situations the vast majority of buyers will never be in and that they, the reviewer, would almost never do in real life. The low powered Mazda Miata is constantly rated as one of the great drivers cars because it's fun to drive and you can use all of it's potential on the street where ninety eight percent of them will spend their entire lives. Same for Mustangs, Z's, Porsche's. Ferrari's and Corvette's. The difference between the Miata and those cars is that as you go up in performance you can't use a greater and greater percentage of their capability in the real world. You might think you can until you get them on a track and realize what's left you haven't tapped into. The last 370Z was a great street car with almost all of it's potential available on the back roads. The mid 1990's BMW M3 was almost magic in it's steering and handling feel and BMW hasn't replicated either in a long time. The New Z, even though less of it's performance can be used on the street, is still a blast to drive with great feel and driver engagement and if you want a better experience in a Supra go get it's parent BMW M240I instead.
Great review! I love that you would choose this car because of character. In everyday life, that's way more important than technical perfection and what the specs are on paper. Also, easily the best looking Z since the original 240.
"Now Sport+ does allow for quite a bit of rear-end play..." "Underneath the hood is the VR30DDTT engine..." LOL. Between those hilarious asides and the insightful driving impressions, these reviews are must-see web TV. Random observations... The braking test seemed unusually short, like shortest stopping distance ever? Amazing how the same components wind up in competing makes. That tells you how complex modern cars are.
I'm glad you finally got to review this car. In my life I've owned 126 cars and the old 240Z I had was probably the mosty impressive all around car of them all. They have ever since been one of my own favorites. Thanks for the review.
Always great reviews Sarah, and love the subtle innuendos and humor. I laugh every time and really enjoy and appreciate the the detailed work you put forth.
Was able to scoop one up slightly used. Only 117 miles. Craziest situation where wife got upset at husband for buying the car without consulting her. My dealer bought it back from them and I got it CPO before all fees for $64,960.
I bought my first Nimso product earlier this year, a 2015 Nissan GT-R Nimso Edition with the optional titanium exhaust what a car! Thanks for the review, Sarah!
I am a 370z owner, and had waited for a decade and more for the next model. Imagine my disappointment when I sat in the RZ34 at a car show and, from the drivers seat, not much had changed. Same vents, door cards, handles, overall dash shape, I felt like I couldn't justify spending 50-60 grand on a brand new car and have it be so much like the one I just got out of.
If Nissan could've offered it at 35K like they originally planned would've been a nice fan service car and the parts bin nature would've been acceptable but yes not at 60 K Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that a Camaro or a mustang is a better performance bargain than a Z, the DARK HORSE mustang is about the same money as this Nismo, 500 horsepower and it's available in manual. "inconceivable"! 😂
I've owned 3 Zs, including the 370Z. I so much wanted this new Z to be a hit, but it's disappointing. Its not particularily easy to find, especially without ADMs, its performance is underwhelming and the price is pretty high for what you get. The most recent one I've seen, the dealer wanted $62k including ADM for a non Nismo. At $68k you can get into a new mid-engine C8 corvette which is superior in every way... which is ultimately what I ended up with.
Choosing this car is always an irrational decision because this is one of the old school JDM modern classic. The value of this car will for sure go up over time. I also bet that the next generation Z will be full electric. That is pretty much the last of the Z bloodline. Nice work Sara~
What a gorgeous car, always liked Nissan sports cars, and this one does not disappoint. Pretty much everything about this car is a major yes! Thank you for another great review!
That beautiful, flowing design is a true evolution of the original Z, which was less rounded but similarly purposeful. This great review is a keeper; sure to be watched over and over.
Nissan designers did a great job on this 2024 Nismo. Classic body lines that are timeless. This car looks much better than the Supra. I don’t think Nissan is going to make a lot of these Nismos so they will probably appreciate in value.
I just love my Saturday morning treat in Aussie. Sarah you are the best thing to start my weekend (your Friday). I love the presentation, your personality and the professionalism of the videos you and your friend create. I have to agree with the assessment of the Nissan...having driven them in the eighties under extreme conditions (high speed and constant braking) the Nissans always stood up to the task whilst the other well known brands failed in many areas. Loved the expression on your face with the braking test and giving the "beans". No wonder you are a massive favorite amongst the subscribers. Hugs from down under.
I loved my 370z nismo..but the nismo z is just a rebadged 370 z not very impressive..so i went with the GR supra 6spd manual and dont regret it!!..b58 is far more powerful and potential🤙🏻🤙🏻
Such a fun, detailed and to the point review! So glad to watch your videos, and those jokes were fire, you're one of the greatest car content creators on here Sarah, and I appreciate you
100% agree... Toyota chooses a BMW engine for the Supra while Lotus chooses Toyota's supercharged engine for the Emira which has received excellent reviews & sounds better than any of them... All engines are in the same power & torque range... if I want a BMW, I'll buy a BMW... It destroys the pure nostalgia of collecting your favored manufacturer when they Frankenstein a car together... Nissan kept it pure... Respect.
The lotus is atleast 100-120k alone while the supra sits at 50-55k new. At that point,nostalgia is thrown out the window when they're are much better cars to get at a much cheaper price range,along with the mk5, with manual also. Sure,nissan kept its heritage,but they cheaped out on basically using a 370z with a new body running with a q series V6 and called it a day and ask 65K for a nismo with interior parts from a 370 that barely beats a 50k mk5 with it being nearly as the Q60 with no option for a manual and not even bringing up the issues of people even finding or trying to get a dealer to sell them one that isn't mark up to the moon also.
Thanks to my little progress in English I finally understood one of your puns about vr30DDTT...😂 At last a real sports car, the automatic gearbox certainly makes it perform better. I hope you have a few more days to enjoy it.
Hi, Sarah. Great review. I remember the original Z back in 70's with Roger Clark driving one in the original RAC Rally of Great Britain. It was a straight 6 with adjustable timing switches in the cockpit. Only trouble was there were only FIVE adjusters!!😂😂. Keep your great videos coming.❤
Another great review thanks! Now, you need to be getting to the track and really putting some of these cars through their paces. I can only imagine how much fun you would have.
Nice review Sarah. None of the other content creators I have watched have mentioned the structural differences between the Standard and NISMO versions, so well done.
You are better than Top Gear now - Excellent review! I have had a soft spot for the Z-cars since I was a kid; one of my favorite toy cars was a Matchbox Superkings Datsun 240 Z, grey with a satin black hood, which is what I would want on the Nismo Z too - a satin black hood, like a rally car. That waould look great! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome1
@@leonb2637 then you might not have seen the current Top Gear, which is far less silly, much better but still get's beaten by Sarah... (I do agree that especially US Top Gear was painfully cringy to watch as they tried too hard to emulate what Clarkson, Hammond and May did. )
Great review, and provides much more of a real driving impression than others I've seen. I think one reason people have an issue with the price is that it's not that much less than sports cars from other brands that provide much more performance. Of course, those other cars cost much more once you add all the creature comforts, but if you stick with just options that make it faster, this Z is just too close in price. Nonetheless, I'm happy they're still making fun cars like this that run on exploding dinosaurs 😀
I had a 350 and really enjoyed it. There were 2 to things that were a bit annoying; the rear strut tower was a real pain taking up a lot of space and the clutch wasn't very forgiving when leaving in first gear. But it was fun!!
I was watching a TH-cam video early on the history of the Datsun / Nissan "Z" cars. I remember when they were new. Sad, I know. I didn't know they were still making them. Love you humor and reviews.
Back in 2018, before I started truck driving, I was a test driver and got a chance to drive the 2019 Nismo "Juke". That was a *_really_* fun little car with a 6 speed manual and insane gas mileage. Too bad it's super fugly! I had to drive the same 21 mile route over and over for 8 hours. So I just kept working on my lap times to not be so bored.😂
I love the technical run down you do at the start of your videos and actually showing the chassis/driveline. Awesome stuff! This Nismo version really seems to hit the spot especially in the subtle design changes, I'd prefer a manual but I am sure this transmission is very impressive to drive.
There is a lot to like about this car. But I really feel it is overpriced. It cost more than a GR Supra, it cost more than a Dark Horse. Both of which are available with manuals. But, as always, another fantastic review :)
Greetings from Sweden Sarah! Best car reviews I've ever seen on TH-cam! Told in detail by someone who obviously knows her stuff. You also have the ability to review in such a relaxed and humorous way that it adds that little something extra to the review.
You are right about the raise thing. I thought at first my raise might be Ok then I went for my weekly shopping at Walmart and realized I didn't get a raise. I had to buy my wife a car this month and we had to buy used when I used to get new. I do believe inflation will slow down however companies are taking advantage of the consumer. However, the car is probably great even though I can't buy one. I have a 2001 Nissan frontier I bought new, and it still runs great. Keep up the great work.
Great review Sarah, spot on the inflation currency we do get paid crap and cannot afford a sports car like the Nismo Z, hopefully, I can trade my 370z someday for a Nismo Z.
The struggle to not make an inappropriate comment about "rear end play" was real for Sarah. And that's why I'm here, for the best car reviews on the net (and her amazing builds).
I ❤️ your reviews! Anyone can just give the same ole boaring stats when it comes down to it, but I'm sure that when I am watching a review from you, it's going to be informative, just that certain amount of school boy humor, and a legitimately of how muck you like the vehicle! My favorite car was my 89 300 twin turbo. Drove it for 303k miles. I wish I still had it. Keep up the great work, and Happy Holidays!
Thanks, Sarah! This design harkens back to the all-around simple sleek, but aggressive design of the early Z's. Homerun for Nissan. Nice perspective on the time value of money 2003 to 2023. Sadly, virtually none of us are making nearly double in our paycheck.
Ms. Sarah, you are one of four or five automotive creators I follow almost religiously. Even though I don’t at my advanced age to ever buy another car in my life I enjoy your road tests and especially your builds. As long as you continue to film, I will continue to watch.
Looking at the tailpipe tips, the soot is impressive for a brand new car. Either it burns oil or rich fuel trim... Either way I am watching to see long-term results.
Top notch review, Sarah. I can't say I've seen a more professional and detailed overview by anyone else. Ever. I was pleased to hear the word "sport " and not "schport ." Just my personal bias, but again, in the world of car reviews, it "up's your game." Now some 0-60 acceleration times and 60-0 stopping times, and you have car reviews locked down big time. Nissan must be thrilled with you right now. Fabulous job!
@sarahnTuned enjoyed the review! ive had my Z NISMO for about a month now. I upgraded from a 2023 performance model Z. still going through the break in miles but it has really addressed some of the areas I thought the performance Z was a bit lacking. mainly the softness and the small delay in shifts. I think my favorite part so far is how the Sport+ mode really changes the steering feel. its like adjusting force feedback on a gaming race wheel. also much quicker shifts and that little thump it gives you when you shift even feels similar to my GTR NISMO in R mode
New to the channel, loving the "Hot Version" style. Very nostalgic for us elder millennial ricers. I also enjoy the excellent information delivery and how you clarify your opinions on the vehicle itself. Keep going! 🤠
Sarah, I have never read a Review of yours until today, and what a Joy you are to have you doing Reviews. You are knowledgeable and speak a Special kind of language that relates to a different and deeper part of our daily life . In other words I can relate to you and Love your sense of humor I have owned 2 Z cars and there's a something special about how you feel driving them . And I can see that you understand that? I will be getting a new Z and am Considering getting a Performance model and doing upgrades or just getting a Nismo Z instead. Thanks so much for your Review
Love your vids. I have watched soooooo many (Typical) car reviews over the years and you are one of the best. Humour and fantastic content. Keep it up.

"we dont get paid shit anymore" -Sarah speaking facts
that's what union hatred and demonisation, and right to work have done, as well as off shoring manufacturing.

Well, maybe since the 1990's, but prior to your birth Sarah, the original 1970 240Z was about $3,600. Much less than close comparable 1970 Camaro or Mustang, not to mention the target Jaguar XK-E. Inflation adjusted, the 240Z was just $28,500 (😲) in today money.
Hahaha spot on😂
@@lemmingfiftyone Hmmm, about the price of a GR86/BRZ. Funny how every few decades the auto industry reinvents the past.
Totally agree, same shit across the globe 🌎
"We just don't get paid sh!t anymore, that's what the real issue is." So true.
It's not just that your reviews are better and more informative than others with a whole crew of people, it's the just right amount of subtle, and not so subtle, humor.
It's why you are one of, if not the best reviewer on TH-cam.
Yup not so subtle like Ahem, rear end play...
For real. Savage Geese and Sarah really are the GOAT TH-cam car reviewers IMO.

I sure wish Mazda would put their new straight-six into a performance coupe ...

I have had a soft spot for the Z-cars since I was a kid; one of my favorite toy cars was a Matchbox Superkings Datsun 240 Z, grey with a satin black hood, which is what I would want on the Nismo Z too - a satin black hood, like a rally car. That waould look great! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome1
I gave up on Top Gear, both the UK and US versions, as too often the episodes were about destroying vehicles.
@@leonb2637 then you might not have seen the current Top Gear, which is far less silly, much better but still get's beaten by Sarah... (I do agree that especially US Top Gear was painfully cringy to watch as they tried too hard to emulate what Clarkson, Hammond and May did. )
OK, it’s official. You say the word button correctly. I love you. 😁
Great review, and provides much more of a real driving impression than others I've seen. I think one reason people have an issue with the price is that it's not that much less than sports cars from other brands that provide much more performance. Of course, those other cars cost much more once you add all the creature comforts, but if you stick with just options that make it faster, this Z is just too close in price. Nonetheless, I'm happy they're still making fun cars like this that run on exploding dinosaurs 😀
you can roll a C8 for the same price as this steaming pile....and have 10 times the car
Sarah is the best car reviewer on the tube!
you can almost see the smoke coming out your ears when you say "sport plus dose allow for quite abit of rear end play" 😂😂😂😂classic Sarah!!❤
I had a 350 and really enjoyed it. There were 2 to things that were a bit annoying; the rear strut tower was a real pain taking up a lot of space and the clutch wasn't very forgiving when leaving in first gear. But it was fun!!
I was watching a TH-cam video early on the history of the Datsun / Nissan "Z" cars. I remember when they were new. Sad, I know. I didn't know they were still making them.
Love you humor and reviews.
Looking very NISMO yourself today Sarah 😀 great video and have a very Happy Christmas 🎄🎅⛄❄️
Back in 2018, before I started truck driving, I was a test driver and got a chance to drive the 2019 Nismo "Juke". That was a *_really_* fun little car with a 6 speed manual and insane gas mileage. Too bad it's super fugly!
I had to drive the same 21 mile route over and over for 8 hours. So I just kept working on my lap times to not be so bored.😂
That is a great color for that car - to point of actually improving its looks.
Love the new graphics and your sense of humor is fantastic!! 👏🏽🙌🏽🥳👌🏽
The brakes WERE impressive.
I love the technical run down you do at the start of your videos and actually showing the chassis/driveline. Awesome stuff! This Nismo version really seems to hit the spot especially in the subtle design changes, I'd prefer a manual but I am sure this transmission is very impressive to drive.
They did great on the design, so beautifully done
I was certainly in the bmw errr Supra group but now, I’m super impressed with this. Big fan now.
There is a lot to like about this car. But I really feel it is overpriced. It cost more than a GR Supra, it cost more than a Dark Horse. Both of which are available with manuals. But, as always, another fantastic review :)
Don’t forget base Cayman price. Even though they seem to be mythical.
Greetings from Sweden Sarah!
Best car reviews I've ever seen on TH-cam! Told in detail by someone who obviously knows her stuff. You also have the ability to review in such a relaxed and humorous way that it adds that little something extra to the review.
I love the design it looks very Aerodynamic!
You are right about the raise thing. I thought at first my raise might be Ok then I went for my weekly shopping at Walmart and realized I didn't get a raise. I had to buy my wife a car this month and we had to buy used when I used to get new. I do believe inflation will slow down however companies are taking advantage of the consumer. However, the car is probably great even though I can't buy one. I have a 2001 Nissan frontier I bought new, and it still runs great. Keep up the great work.
Great review Sarah, spot on the inflation currency we do get paid crap and cannot afford a sports car like the Nismo Z, hopefully, I can trade my 370z someday for a Nismo Z.
The struggle to not make an inappropriate comment about "rear end play" was real for Sarah. And that's why I'm here, for the best car reviews on the net (and her amazing builds).
Great review and braking test. Give it the Beans!
There is no Equal to Sarah's Car Reviews on the "InterWeb". Bring "sexy", cute, and clever too is a big Bonus!! Merry Christmas !
Maybe it's the color or maybe it's the NISMO version, but the grill looks way better on this than what I've seen before
I ❤️ your reviews! Anyone can just give the same ole boaring stats when it comes down to it, but I'm sure that when I am watching a review from you, it's going to be informative, just that certain amount of school boy humor, and a legitimately of how muck you like the vehicle! My favorite car was my 89 300 twin turbo. Drove it for 303k miles. I wish I still had it. Keep up the great work, and Happy Holidays!
Sarah gets my penguin score of 10.
Thanks, Sarah! This design harkens back to the all-around simple sleek, but aggressive design of the early Z's. Homerun for Nissan. Nice perspective on the time value of money 2003 to 2023. Sadly, virtually none of us are making nearly double in our paycheck.
Love your channel
Ms. Sarah, you are one of four or five automotive creators I follow almost religiously. Even though I don’t at my advanced age to ever buy another car in my life I enjoy your road tests and especially your builds. As long as you continue to film, I will continue to watch.
Looking at the tailpipe tips, the soot is impressive for a brand new car. Either it burns oil or rich fuel trim... Either way I am watching to see long-term results.
Direct injection, cold startup.
My 2013 Mitsubishi diesel has cleaner exhaust tips than that.
Top notch review, Sarah. I can't say I've seen a more professional and detailed overview by anyone else. Ever.
I was pleased to hear the word "sport " and not "schport ." Just my personal bias, but again, in the world of car reviews, it "up's your game." Now some 0-60 acceleration times and 60-0 stopping times, and you have car reviews locked down big time. Nissan must be thrilled with you right now. Fabulous job!
we love terrible jokes! (they are not terrible at all) Cheers Sarah!
Awesome production value. Tech spec is my favourite segment. Finally proper automotive tech doing comprehensive technical reviews
6:10 you've handled a difficult situation with perfect aplomb!
@sarahnTuned enjoyed the review! ive had my Z NISMO for about a month now. I upgraded from a 2023 performance model Z. still going through the break in miles but it has really addressed some of the areas I thought the performance Z was a bit lacking. mainly the softness and the small delay in shifts. I think my favorite part so far is how the Sport+ mode really changes the steering feel. its like adjusting force feedback on a gaming race wheel. also much quicker shifts and that little thump it gives you when you shift even feels similar to my GTR NISMO in R mode
Thanks for keeping it real.
New to the channel, loving the "Hot Version" style. Very nostalgic for us elder millennial ricers.
I also enjoy the excellent information delivery and how you clarify your opinions on the vehicle itself.
Keep going! 🤠
That finger pointer is borderline KINKY....🤭
Sarah, I have never read a Review of yours until today, and what a Joy you are to have you doing Reviews. You are knowledgeable and speak a Special kind of language that relates to a different and deeper part of our daily life . In other words I can relate to you and Love your sense of humor
I have owned 2 Z cars and there's a something special about how you feel driving them . And I can see that you understand that? I will be getting a new Z and am Considering getting a Performance model and doing upgrades or just getting a Nismo Z instead. Thanks so much for your Review
You do amazing videos
Keep up the great work
You make the best car videos on TH-cam, and you are absolutely right about wages!
Strong bolsters needed for the 30DDTT.
Love your vids. I have watched soooooo many (Typical) car reviews over the years and you are one of the best. Humour and fantastic content. Keep it up.
