8.5 ducks out of 3 buffalos
10 for me.. I'm trading my 09 z for it if I can find one
@@tayzpaid4471 7 is about right, Some points deducted for price, I just wanna base bare-bones one that I can make my own
honestly i just love how they tied in the looks of all the old Z cars. it looks sick imo and i’d love to get my hands on one
Same, hoping for a car market markdown by 2024
At start I found it a little ugly because of that grille, now it's really grown on me and I love that ypu can see the inspiration from the 240,60,80z.
Wish it was going to UK
I fell in love with Z's almost 30 years ago when my Dad started working at a Nissan dealer. He brought home a lightly used black 300zx TT and I was in love. It continued the only part of our relationship that stood up. He passed before the reveal. Seeing the Z reveal by Nissan I was actually in tears. One way or another I'll end up with one, just hating the mark up.
When did it become so popular to criticize ever part of new sports cars. This is why we didn’t get new sports cars for the longest. It’s gonna be the downfall of the car community.
When they all started costing an arm and a leg lol
@@krisreyes2434 that's more because of inflation..the cost of eveything goes up. So back to the point - hating seems like the easy band wagon to for everyone to jump on.
@@krisreyes2434 no it isn’t. It cost your hard work. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. If you can’t afford it, get a Civic Si.
@Null exactly!
@@bynjei2530 I mean that’s not entirely true though, within the US at least, as the productivity of middle class workers has gone up (ie they’re getting more done for their bosses so their bosses can make money) pay for those same workers has not gone up, meaning middle and lower class workers on average have less money for things like sports cars (this is a point that Jason Cammisa brought up in his Z video for Hagerty)… So while your right in saying that hard work pays off, there’s also a point to be made that as our society has modernized hard work is paying off much less than before…
I WANNIT. The 300ZX is my favorite Z and I think this is the closest thing to it without having to shrink my limbs to work on it lol
Said by someone that has truly worked on a z32! Idk though, that TT 3.0 looks a little cramped too.
240
@@JH-xk2rb spoken like a true z32 owner 😂
Ah Z32 ain’t that bad homie! Love working on my Z 😁
The VR30 is no different to work on trust me 😭
For people that don't like hearing that Nissan revised almost 80% of the existing parts to be better, here's a couple or so points to keep in mind.
1. The R35 GT-R changed a TON of times and was updated constantly almost every year to be better and faster since the first version. For over a decade, Nissan did nothing but update the GT-R. Why? For one, it saves a TON of money. Why develop a whole new platform, when what you currently have, is literally matching competition still? Update what can help the car be better and better, and, do minor updates on the inside and outside to keep it relevant. You save tons of money while also offering a badass vehicle.
2. This allowed Nissan to KEEP the Z alive. Toyota, the biggest vehicle manufacturer in the world, said that it's "too expensive" to develop a sports car on their own.
What?
They redevelop cars constantly and update them constantly. The GR Yaris and GR Corolla are not going to be high sellers, yet they made them anyways. Then, we have 2 GR86's that are completely the same apart from the exterior looks and interior options. The Supra is an amazing vehicle, but they needed BMW's help which I absolutely call bs on.
Meanwhile, Nissan uses what they have (which was already a fantastic sports car for the money) and updated it to be modern, look more like a classic Z, and offer an amazing value for what you get. Who cares if the bones are the same? Who cares if the door and door panel are from the 370Z? Would you rather have pure plastic panels or soft touch plastics?
It's completely asinine that people are complaining about something they won't even own anyways and/or have zero understanding on how important the Z is to the car enthusiast community.
This guy gets it.
This is exactly it. Its more cost efficient to continuously refine a current design than develop a new one. Now we have an enthusiast’s vehicle whose base model makes 400 whp and looks damn sharp doing it. I look forward to owning a Z one day and refining it further with aftermarket help. Good luck my fellow enthusiasts.
Alex being a guest host is nice to see!!!
My S30 is pacific blue, very similar to the new Z color. Having them both in my driveway would be amazing
Haven't seen one in person yet, can't wait!! Definitely need to drive one of these someday. Great video Alex!!
I never drove any older Z car, but the new ones I really like how they drive. The turbo comes on pretty strong mid range and really kicks it.
Agree 1000 percent Alex. Always like your take and enthusiasm. Keep up the great work 🤙

5:54 I can't watch that clip anymore without being like... " he definitely spun out as soon as they cut that clip"
I believe this will be a good car. My mom has the Q50 with the 3.0T and she loves it and so do I.
NGL, I've been dreaming of this car since I heard it was in the making and I'm super hyped for it. I won't have the money on launch, but I do plan on this being the first new car I buy
If there were two be any new sports car I would want it's this. I feel like it's the perfect balance of new and old, flashy but enough to where it's ugly. And good power for what you pay for
Love it. Will be picking one up here on a few months…in all black to help mitigate the only thing I don’t love, that front grill.
Alex literally Carrie’s this channel on his back for me he’s the most entertaining one to listen to
Did he leave or something?
@@tunechi9258 he got his own channel, Alex_Martini. He’s just stepping down and going into other things. There’s a vid where he talks about it
@@jus__gra what's the title of the vid?
@@markkeyst oh god that’s 4 months ago pal, just search Alex_Martini and give him the watch time lol
@@jus__gra That's a good start. I've been searching for a while now.
This is one of those cars that looks better in person. The hips and a$$ being the best view imo.
FYI- the trans is "relatively" new for Nissan and has been used in like 1-2 trucks/suvs fairly reliably. I want to say it is Merc sources via Jatco.
The manual will be close to what a lot of Nissan/Infiniti owners are familiar with (not the best but very far from the worst).
Also, expect big aftermarket support- same engine in Q50/60 has been shown to dip in the 9s-10s. But out of the gate expect easy high 11's/low 12's with minimal to moderate tune/parts. Visit a site like Z1 to gauge an idea of what to expect.
@@altimgamr not so sure about just tires. There were some reports of wheel hop.
That intro of the z is a banger. DOPE SON!
good to see you still doing so you want a videos.
This will defiantly put Nissan back on the map!
Nissan is coming back to it's original form slowly but steadily... I believe in Nissan... And yes it makes the best JDM sport's cars... Yes better than TOYOTA!
Thought about trading in my 370z for the new one but I’m a VQ fan and I’m still in love with the look of the 370 personally
The sound is just unique, sad to see the end of the vqs
Agreed!
I feel the same, even before I had one. Such a look all it’s own. When I first saw one in 2009 it became the dream car - last year I bought it.
When you love something that long and none of the new stuff over 10 years changed your aim, just buy it haha.
I agree too. The new Z is nice but I'm not in love with it like I am my 370z. That being said though, I will likely test drive it just to gain a first hand perspective.
Maybe we are biased because we own one but I agree. The 370z does look better.
I’ve been waiting on this car ever since rumors and concepts came out years ago. Currently we are weeks away before the new z starts showing up at dealerships and I think my opinion on it has changed. At first I thought about getting my hands on the 1st year production model but thought about it and it would be a better and safer choice to wait at least the first 2-3 years. Gives plenty of time for many mods to be introduced to the martlet specially body kits. Also by then hopefully we have the nismo version out. I agree with Alex, the manual would be the best option to go with, we don’t know what issues the automatic transmission will have. We just gotta wait and see, in case I do go for it I already got a specific whee set up and look. Car would definitely look good wrapped in jade Millenium green with either black or bronze/champagne colored wheels, a couple of carbon fiber pieces, bagged and called it a day.
As a MKIV Supra owner ... i was excited to hear about the new MKV, that is until we heard that BMW was making it, then i lost all interest in it.
As a 300ZX and S14 chassis owner, this Z is NICE .. I will go for the auto because its just easier and i have NO plans to beat the shit out of it. My S14 and my 300ZX are manual, my Supra and Genesis are Automatic.
Both have their plus and minus but at the end of the day, the automatic is just SO MUCH easier.
And again, my goal is not to beat on the Z but to enjoy the drive and i don't need a manual to enjoy it.
@@ACommenterOnCZcams the MKV is actually a pretty nice ride but everyone has different taste, though it does feel pretty much like driving a bmw. Everyone has their preferences when it comes to which type of transmission to go with. The automatic tends to be a lot more comfortable if you happen to live in big cities with lots of traffic. Like you said they both have their pros and cons we don’t know what kind of problems the 1st year lot will have. Hopefully nothing major or otherwise it’ll take the first 2-3 years to maybe address some of the potential problems. The design, both the interior and exterior are refreshing but there is one major issue that can have an impact on the new z. That is going to be its price and the mark ups at dealers. The new z base model is already 11k more expensive than the predecessor. The nismo hasn’t even been announced yet but with the way it’s going I won’t even be surprise if it has a price tag of like 60-65k. Prices along may cause some potential buyers to skip the vehicle for good or at least for a couple of years. With how the market is it’s actually a bad idea. Regardless, there’s going to be people who buy the z to flip it for a quick buck. It happened with cars such as the Civic type r, the MKV and with the c8 corvette. The question is, how much are these mark ups are going to be. That’s why waiting a year or two doesn’t sound so bad right. Who knows maybe by then things go back to normal with the car market and we may even start seeing rebates and discounts on vehicles. My last advice is that if you do decide to buy one, shop around and if you can find a dealer that does MSRP then go for it. Don’t be the reason guys why the dealer is having a pizza party the following day lol cuz they manage to sell you a car for 10k+ over what it’s worth.
I think we should wait just to avoid that dealer markup lmao
my only argument to that is that if you have a day 1, you have some time to figure out what you do and dont like, as well as the ability to let most of your warranty run down without adding mods to the mix
Green is my favorite color. I've been looking at getting a z and wrapping it in a bright green 💚
When comes to newer cars you ride a fine line between mods and leaving it stock, biggest thing right now is that we don't know how far you can push the stock components.
I'll be honest, at first I was not interested in this launch at all because as a RSX-S owner I was hyped about the Integra launch. Well, after seeing the new teggy I am 100% onboard with the Z. This thing is SICK.
I saw one in person at formula drift last weekend and it was beautiful
Love your videos Alex ❤️
I love it.. I own a tt 300zx.. wouldn't mind having this one also
I thought you left fitment industries, in any case it's good to see you back.
Nice to see you here Alex
Sick footage from FuelFest🏁😮💨
Bro. The body kits for this whip are gonna be hella clean
It’s definitely on my short list. I have a Q60 with some bolt-ons. I really like it but wish it was a little sportier & I had more control over the transmission. With every manufacturer seemingly headed to EVs only I think it’s a car I could hold onto forever
Exactly my thinking. I’m on the wait list for my local stealership to order the new Z. This is essentially final call for manual ICE sports cars, so I can see it being my “forever car.”
I was waiting for this ❤️
The 370z's engine, VQ37VHR, doesn't see a significant bump in the peak torque at any particular rpm, as the torque curve is fairly flat across the rev range. This was by design with the VVEL system that seeks to maintain a high volumetric efficiency across a wide range of rpm. If you need more torque at the rear wheels you simply downshift, although with the large displacement high-compression NA engine in the 370Z you still get decent instantaneous performance by just stepping on the pedal.
My issue at the end of the day. By the time the two got compared the 2SS 1LE was a few thousand cheaper than a fully loaded Z (for me. There’s discounts I get) so the Cumaro won. I’m salty they didn’t allow that custom plate I was hoping I could slip it by.
As the owner of a Red Sport, I am excited about the increase in Aftermarket Products.
Yes!!! Thank you fitment industries
Been waiting on this video
I think it'll be a success. Very comparable to the supra, for a lower price point if I'm not mistaken
Ppl are starting to use panther platform car for vip builds n I love it
Great to see Alex here
The Z warrior looks so good to me. I need to bring one home!
I want a z so bad love my q50 with the vr30 and these motors react so well to down pipes a heat exchanger and a exhuast
Been waiting for this since I heard about the car.
Finally thank you fitment industries
I think the car is great. I've been keeping tabs on it since I first heard of it and the Grill on the proto was kind of off but I still liked it overall. This is gonna be a a great car but if this was to be the last ICE Z I think Nissan shouldve gone all the way like Chevy did with putting a corvette engine in the Camaro and put the last GTR engine in it. Then again that could be something they do with the Nismo. I do think sound had something to do with it though because the VR30 sounds more like the VQs(heritage and all the old Z did have a varient with the old RB engine in it.) but more than likely it would be because of cost if im being honest. Still that said great looking car and I want one noooooow!!
That 9 speed auto gonna be better than the 6 speed if you into straight line speed but I will agree the manual would be more fun.
it all depends on how you will have fun in it. Are you the drifter ? are you rally ?? Are you auto cross ?? Or are you the straight line horsepower monster ?
This is my favorite car channel
❤️❤️❤️ -Edgar
Nissan is my dream car. It's SO cool!
Getting one today 🎉
The 370z was never really down on torque. Yeah it made peak torque at 5400 rpm. But what about before that? From 2500-6000 rpm the torque curve is actually quite flat.
Can’t wait to have this in the drive way with my 370z 🔥
Wondering if I should pull the trigger now or wait to see if they come out with a NISMO version? I was initially thinking that I'd wait to see what the Civic Type-R has to offer, but I think the Z will be on top overall. So I'm waiting and I have a dealer who's not going to screw me (I've known the guy since High School) so put in for one soon'ish or wait for NISMO, if there will even be a NISMO?
And I’ll comment it again, the music makes the video 50x better
Alex Martinez and Fitment Industries, a better love story than Twilight!!
Anyways, now, who will be next, Mitsubishi GTO (3000 GT) or Mazda RX#??
Wait alex is back? NICE!
Please update the fitment industry website to display a larger image of the cars? The current picture is too small, making it difficult to see the wheel setup clearly
10 Year vet here- and i do have to say that within all of the experience points I've accumulated throughout the years, this has to be one of the most rarer types I've ever seen. There's been speculation about it and whether or not I like to think on it as apose to it being the car of the year in my eyes or to anybody that sees it BUT with all do respect I would have to, ultimately, speculate any judgement on it and base it off of that. If you've read this far then I hope you're really confused lmao. In all seriousness, I'm contemplating whether to get the auto or manual.
The Nissan Z is definitely like being the tallest midget. It's still a midget though. Haha. Anyway, you are the best fitment Industry host. Hope to see more videos with your reviews.
Alex left FI
💪💪💪 -Edgar
Can yall please do a so you want on the Mitsubishi Gallant/Legnum VR4
Damn on of the last videos with Alex in em. A true end of an era.
Although I do like the new Z I just wish it was closer to the Z32 300zx in style. Not just another 240z style because it's already been done before aka 350z.
The automatic is from the 9tronic that’s used in Mercedes’ cars so it actually is really good
We’ll have to see. Parts is one thing, implementation and integration is another.
been waiting for this for a while lol
Currently liking the GR Corolla ngl, can't wait to see it on the street
Wait for the Nismo version. A Nismo version of the this Nissan Z placed 2nd and 5th at the SuperTec 24hours race at Fuji a recently.
On a 400hp rear wheel drive sports car a LSD is a must so in my opinion the performance model is the only option to go with.
New Z or seeing Alex on a fitment video? Alex FTW
Yes I want a new Z. Figment In da seas 🤤
i thought you left fitment industries 😂 but welcome back
People bash the Z for being a parts bin car, well YEA its keeping to its heritage and using 3 generations of Z to build this one ... They didn't hide it, they specifically made it this way ..
Look at the Zupra ... Transgender Supra at that. Its also a parts bin car. BMW Z4 chassis, BMW M240i B58 engine, BMW X5 interior, BMW suspension, and the new manual is parted out from 4 different BMW transmissions .... i mean, talk about parts bin car and transmission ...
@humble harambe
Z>zupra
@humble harambe or actually being fast and looking good instead of some bmw 🗑
@humble harambe z has better looks AND better performance than the zupra. Why fix what’s not broken? Over 80% of parts used are brand new. Way to prove you know nothing about cars. Maybe find a new hobby 😁
I would love one of these
the video is perfect, but why does the backround music have very quiet iphone ringing sounds?? it's giving me hella lot of anxiety man
It's going to be a success.
alex as a host is what we live for
Can you do the foxbody/sn95/new edge mustang so u want. Pls, I’ve been waiting 😢
Yes....i want the new Z. I need to test drive one.
He back!
Fitment patrol is actually happening!!!🤣 that was my idea
Gotta keep driving my 350z for 4 more years then imma cop one of these bad boys
I love my new Z, so does everyone else. I’ve driven plenty of nice cars, I’ve never gotten the attention that the Z gets. When I pull into meets, there will be 10 lambos and 20 bmws, I’m the only one.. I have seen one other Z, but even now, you won’t see them often.
Seems very cool, but I rly dont like the headlights and the grill.
yooooooooooo, Alex👋Great content, but fix the search engine on the FI gallery, please.
Alex: Ahhh, don’t have to make a vid for my channel today. Finally I can relax😌
Alex 0.3 seconds later: @fitmentindustries you up?👀
👀👀 -Edgar
Beautiful 🤩 BUT what’s the waiting time ... 2 years again ? 🤢
I went to the Cleveland auto show and one of the Nissan reps said they’d be starting at 40k. Which I’m honestly hoping for, because some are saying 50k base model. I wouldn’t mind spending 50 on a top tier package but the base? Idk if it would be worth it.
40k wouldn't be awful. 50k for a base model is definitely a stretch.
I wonder if they’ll make a Nismo version in a few years. I’d be pressed if they do and I buy the original version.
If I honestly had the money to afford a Z I’d have had it 3 weeks ago. Dealers would never want to let a dream live
I want it just as much as everyone else. Gimme a Z NISSAN 😠😠😠
I think it's a beautiful car. I'd behappy to own one of em.
This is Gunna be good 🍿
Alex and fitment is like apple pie and vanilla ice cream
I wouldn’t get one unless it’s a nismo…the nismo is what I’m waiting for.
How much over MSRP do you think this will sell for?
it’s a beautiful car but not a big fan of that front bumper. can’t wait to see what the aftermarket support has to offer.
Those who own a good condition Tacoma, could literally trade-in for this Z

I hope it doesn’t flop or us enthusiast are in trouble
