- čas přidán 21. 05. 2024
- James and Thomas compare the "NEW" 2020 Nissan 370z Nismo with the 2019 Toyota 86 TRD. Both cars are rear wheel drive, front engine coupes and like Thomas, haven't really been touched in years. But that makes them pure enthusiast vehicles. Which is better? Which provides the most smiles? And are their styles still up to par with the modern day? Watch to find out!

#370z #Toyota #86 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I still think those Z's look good. I would rock that... But I'd rather buy a used one since there are so many out there.
Smart way to go, then plan on an oil cooler, swaybar for the front only, tires, alignment, stereo upgrade, tune, hfc+cat back. Or, better yet, buy one that someone has already done all that and you'll be happy for about a year, then you'll be looking at turbo kits and then.... $20k later you'll have an insane vehicle! (fast intentions twin turbo, go look at some of those vids!).
07wrxtr1 facts or even a 350z they are great as well
Craig Chevalier there’s a lot for sale for a reason.. their Nissan and problematic.
@@ilootyouhoot8578 what? You dont know what your talking about . I have owned 6 Nissans and one Infiniti. And not ONE! had any major issues that had to be in the shop. Maintenance is key! Proper maintenance being performed on any vehical correctly will keep even the worst shit boxes going for along time. Hence my 2007 Ford explorer with 220,000 miles on original trans and engine. So go rate cars you have owned or know better than Nissans and shut up about cars you know nothing about. 😉
@@ilootyouhoot8578 There are a lot more problematic cars out there than a VQ powered Z with a manual trans. And for that reason, I would still own one given the chance. I am a big S2000 fan myself, but they are in the stratosphere for used prices, so a used Z makes a good choice if you ask me..
When do we get an updated 370z? Nissan - No.
My uncle works for Nissan Corporate. I recently asked him if Nissan has any plans for a new Z. He said most possibly No, but they have been talking about making it later on, but in a 2.0T version
Why fix what wasn't broken in all its generations? 86's engine bay department on the other hand...
Skvora Limited Media it’s not that Nissan needs to fix their 370Z. Matter of fact it’s not like any company needs to, but the reason why the 370Z is laughed at today is because there are tiny little turbo engines destroying it, while getting way better mpg’s.
Me personally would love for Nissan to keep their Z platform N/A. But if they did that, they would need to make something in the 400hp+ range, but also gives it more in the 350+two range too, just to peak interest from buyers, as nobody who knows cars wants their $50k Z to be beaten by a $30k 2.0LT vehicle. They have to do that because that’s the way the sports car market has gone. That is hard to do, unless they opt for a V8 Z, which would go against the history of what a Z is about. So yeah, a turbo car is the only option really. They could use the Q Red Sport TT engine from Infiniti, which would be sick, but then they are banging on the doors of the GTR.
So basically what I see is this was just poor planning on Nissans end ever since they introduced the R35 GTR, because they now have limited their Z line in what they can do with it.
Jace MK7 My stepdad also works for nissan, and he gets emails about their possible being a 3.0t z in the future... Seems likes it’s more likely than not. Probably going to end up being a q60 with nissan badges
jjus jjoe get outta here 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we get more power from the FRS? Toyota: buy this expensive ass Supra.
more or less the same with Nissan, "can we get a new Z car?" Nissan: "Here's the new GT-R" Lmfao
Aftermarket tuning I say
You can get more power from the FRS. By buying something else.
And even then it some how makes less power than the BMW counterpart, even though they have the same engine lol what
@Jacob Tratnyekfrs. 86. brz. It's the same low power car that non car guys like to drive and think they're fast.
370Z all day....
It's old, and outdated, but still so good.
I love my 370z and i couldnt have said it better myself
Same !! i Love my Z . mines 2011 and it blends in with the new Z crowd with my nismo bodykit
Still a badass car
Honestly I hope Nissan dosent update the Z. They’ll make it look like a maxima.
@@ncmiataenjoyer that would be exactly what they end up doing hopefully it doesn't end up with the fate the nsx had to suffer I mean the honda Prius because that's what it is just a bit faster and a whole lot more to fix at the dealership and not to mention its famed title of the slowest super car
Thomas in TRD: “I can’t believe how different these feel right away.”
James in 370z “Aw, yes!”
you wouldn't slide on public roads, just like you wouldn't download a movie....riiight
Only peasants download movies.
@@martinallenuk only retards pay for them
@@pwnyourass22 And a true genius does neither and uses an Android Box lol
@@pwnyourass22 If nobody paid for movies, there would be no movies.
@@tibor29 dont care honestly
The 86 doesn't need any increase in output, it just needs to be compared with a Miata.
Yeah I don't get this comparison. Compare the Nissan maybe to the new "Supra".
@@ianj4389 It would get squashed by the Supra in everything except having a manual transmission.
The only real competitors for the Z (besides the Miata and 86) is the lower trim Camaros and Mustangs.
Sadly the NISMO is priced similar to the SS 1LE and GT PP2 which are both WAAAAAAAAAAAAY out of it's league in performance.
@@Dolby109 The manual transmission alone is enough to beat that turd they call a 2020 Supra. Paul Walker is pissing down from heaven in hopes of his stream hitting that abomination.
@@Dolby109 "Straight line performance"
@@elpidioarias7432 In reference to what?
I like how everyone says the z is outdated and slow and as soon as they drive it nothing but smiles and fun. I’ll keeping my NISMO forever! I’ll eventually give it more power because why not. 😍
they say its slow until they slam the pedal and your wheels spin and engine starts screaming and see the Z is no pussy. car is a classic example of a drivers car and doesnt try to be some overdesigned tryhard. the noise the VQ makes with some exhausts is some of the best noises a car can make. motordyne shockwave sounds like a lamborghini. and tomei is the best noise ive heard a car make
The Z Nismo is the top one put it next to a vette, Camaro, mustang or dodge and they say bye bye to the 350 hp Nismo.
Daniel Martinez, they gave up on the Z that’s why the engineers are all on the GT-R. They do not want a car that competes with there GT-R.
Daniel Martinez, one problem they have is the VVEL and turbo do not work well together. They were talking about dropping the motor size from 3.7 down to 3.0 and turbocharging it. Not really a high horse power combo.
Dont let these keyboard warriors fool you. I get more complimants from my 2012 Z then what a mustang could ever get.
"Do you hear that? This is the sound of me going to jail." Such a meme.
im keeping my Z sport because it has aged well and if nissan decides they don't want a redesign, the Z will become a solid classic
Josue Ochoa LOL.. just like how the 300ZX did (obvious sarcasm).
@@2amchef16 what's wrong with the 300zx? It's a highly respected car and pretty seeked after. I see it as a 90s classic
@@2amchef16 that comment makes no sense 😂
Mike Huang 240z comes to mind...
Not really, 240z and 280z are now dirt cheap to buy
The Z looks as fresh today as it did all those years ago when launched. I literally think it's design genius. The interior is dated yes. But the exterior? Looks better than its competition. End of. 😘
Yea I agree on the exterior. It still looks great! But that interior needs an update badly
Bro the exterior is godly
I prefer the exterior of the 370z than the 400z
The 370Z has to be one of the most under-rated sports cars out there.
uhh
@@jamesliftscircles3015 its okay get your thoughts together iamsam
And down right affordable. Too bad the nismo only bumps up like 15 horsepower lol
@@brian25301better suspension vs the regular z and the Miami has a stiffer full stitch welded chassis compared to a regular z
You guys did this brilliantly. Walking the fine line between actual reviewing and poking fun. And of course that intro....
Dudes peddle dance made me cry
The introduction was just amazing.. then when James starts talking about the 86 I lost my nuggets 😂😂😂😂
These guys are the perfect match for each other on this channel but I must say James's humor really makes it.
Good to see that both cars are a manual transmission
That’s a true sports car right there
My Toyota Yaris has a manual transmission, does it qualify as a true sports car?
whatEver if that’s a fun car for you then thats all that matters
I mean a sports car like 370Z or GT86 and while they are meant to be fast they are meant to be DRIVEN hence why a true sports car has a manual transmission
I don’t mean a base model with a manual transmission
Not really. Worse acceleration, less focus on steering, and more prone to human-error...
Yousef Al-A'ssaf يوسف العسّاف yeah but that’s not what the manual is for
When you are talking about a sports car, it’s meant to be DRIVEN and the manual transmission gives the best driving experience
Yes autos have gotten so much better since the past decade as they became faster and smoother but sports cars are not about speed it’s about the fun to drive experience
@@basithph8958
For me, it's much more fun to drive the car fast. Not just in a straight line, but having fun and playing around with the steering wheel. I only find that happening when I have both of my hands on the steering wheel. I could never trust myself in doing the same moves/tricks with only one hand.
I know that shifting the car at high rpm's and the way it throws you inward and outward is fun, but to me, it's not as fun as jockeying around with the car.
But that's just me.
Great intro as always and that Torque Dip joke was so well placed 😆
Kudos to James fr doing his job with the wrist constrainer without being a Itch abt it. Another entertaining and perfectly informative review
Still own a 370Z and it’s still fun and pretty quick, a huge upgrade was the Michelin pilot super sport tires - taking off down some old country roads still brings me joy
"Can you hear that? That's sound of me going to jail." Epic. I seriously laughed out loud 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mason Franks same lol. Gold
17:21 that "pedal dance." I'm dead. lmao
Love the way the Nismo Z looks, hope to pick up a lightly used one in a few years hopefully.
About a month back I traded my '13 Toyota '86 (scarlet red, standard model, so about the same power and and a rear that broke away as soon as glance at it) for a slightly older 370Z Fairlady GT convertible (sticker ahoy!) in deep cherry red.
Everything these guys have said is bang on. Both are great fun, but chalk and cheese.
13:31 LMAO James looks so shocked which means he didn't know Thomas was gonna do that bit 😂😂
Reason I got a Q50 with 3.7 motor, love the sound of the VQ.
As good as these older videos are you can really see how much their production values have grown in 2022 videos. Love seeing the channels growth like that. 👍
I love your guys comedy so much. 😄 also great great job, admire the quality of you guys content. You deserve more followers for sure!
I love the grunt of the z - put on an exhaust - an intake + tune and you have another 50hp. These motors are well built and can take a decent turbo as well.
They both had a bigger smile in the 370z and that to me that says who the winner is if you don't take price into account. Both fun cars in all honesty but if price wasn't an issue I see more people picking a Z.
*if you dont take price into account*
Right...but that's a HUGE part of the comparison :/
Bruhh 😂 if price wasn’t an issue I wouldn’t have taken either one of these cars
@@lynnmckenney1987 when I had the choice of purchasing either (well at the time it was either a fr-s or brz) the extra couple grand that I spent on my Z was worth it to me. I guess in the end that is the real question, if the higher price tag is worth it to the buyer.
For the price of a Z you could take an 86 and mod it faster than a Z.
rizdraver idk turbo brz still only make about 240whp
I have an STI, and as soon as I test drove the Nismo I fell in love. I was hooked !
Great video! Have had my FR-S for 4 years now . Still makes me smile every time I drive it! Got a header tune and Borla exhaust right away and it really wakes this car up. Still could use more power though. Torn between spending the money to supercharge it or getting something different like the 2019 Miata.
WOW That 370 reminds me of Playing Need For Speed 20 years ago. The same sound track.
Lol underground with carmen Electra
...oh yea that was my ish..
Thomas and James, happy hump day fellas. Great video as always and congrats on 200,000 subs right around the corner.
Mike Wazowski thanks mike!
Thomas and James, really like ur explanations after the drag race. Keep it up buddys.
You guys are the best car reviewers out there! Cheers!
Ever since I got rid of my 2011 370z 4 years ago, I’ve had dreaming I’m still driving it.
The power delivery and handling were a perfect symphony for street driving.
I plan on buying me another one, I’m glad Nissan’s kept it going with the hydraulic steering and manual gear box.. only thing I would change is the weight and updated front end/ headlights.
Always a great morning when I wake up to a Throttle House video! Thank you!
Still one of the best videos you guys did!
And guess what... You're due to do another now with the latest generations!
im starting to like your vids more than TheStraithpipes . Keep up the good work guys 👍
350z will always be my favorite car
Had my 370z for 6 years and I love it. Don't care about the infotainment, it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Granted, I don't daily it. It's an analog car like so few cars are these days. With basic mods and tuning, it's the most engaging car I've owned.
But holy cow, Nissan, time for an update. This "new" model is no different from mine - it's been a decade. Let's put the VR30DDTT in at least.
I own the TRD 86 and I LOVE IT. It takes me back too when I owned a 1986 2 door Corolla GT-S. While it isn't fast me living in Puerto Rico this car is a grip monster in the curves. Love the car period.
Just wanted to say love your guys shows. I was looking around deciding what car to buy after watchimg your show ot helped me decide. I now own a 2019 honda civic si thanks.
Shane Gillespie woo congrats Shane!!!
@@jamesengelsman9369 thanks i still got a few weeks before i am home to drive it.
That man dipped when he saw "I'm home alone"👀😂
dipped harder than the torque in the 86
I daily drive my 2010 Z and love taking it out, without fail, every single day.
Same goes for me 350, never gets old
Big facts, I drove my g35 sedan like it was a Ferrari I loved that later upgraded to that G37s coupe. Crazy fun
Always giving her the lead yee haw
There's quite a good number of things to appreciate in this channel, but just let me say I love your humour! Also because it's not all over the place
Great channel...no bs and informative!
The GT86 with a supercharger, oil cooler and intercooler is perfect. Got 290hp out of mine with stable temps all the time, the supercharger also eliminates the torque dip very well.
Got the car used for 18k, then spend around 8k for the upgrades. Awesome car.
alpenjodel24 yeah I bet with those mods it’s a fucking blast to drive
Nice man is that with the stock engine
Nice! Which supercharger kit did you go with? I have a BRZ and went with the SBD turbo kit 3 years ago. I don’t think I could enjoy this car without FI.
I believe it's a HKS supercharger kit with oil- and intercooler, done by a local shop.
You can't go wrong with either one >>> as long it's MANUAL !!
Manual.... eww
I live in the 21st century.

I don’t want either of these cars now after watching this video. They didn’t seem to be all that impressive.

Great video guys!
Finally! I’ve been waiting for somebody to compare these two! With all of the modern turbo’d cars being way faster than NA sports cars, there is still something to be said for this simplicity from these models.
Yeah they both need a turbo lol
I just love this channel so much! 🥰🤗
Probably the last two sports cars I’d ever consider. Great video btw. Informative and hilarious

Omg that peddle dance dance hahaha hahaha had me choking lol
After getting a Tune to remove the torque dip it’s definitely the FIRST modification every 86 owner should consider doing day 1 of owning one.
195k subs is a joke
You and The Straight Pipes are the most underrated channels in youtube
Fully agree
Redline reviews also
Mudundi Siva Rama Raju it’s because they are REAL car enthusiasts and make REAL car videos. All these other gay youtubers just vlog and get views that way. It’s disappointing
The Straight Pipes are awful, love these two though.
Agreed, straight pipes are absolute trash. These guys are amazing
‘’This is the sound of me going to jail’’ absolute classic 🤣👌🏻
“ Can you hear that ? That’s the sound of me going to jail “ AMEN 😭😭
don’t know why these two cars are being compared when there’s almost 2x difference in power between the two
Akram Ibrahim and 1.7l
And $13,000
I think they just randomly put this together without doing any real history research on the 2. The 86 was never meant to be compared to the 370. Because originally the 86 is technically a corolla. Or at least the original from 86’.
Agree the NISMO wasn't best comparison but least they got TRD to try lol. Best get the base model for $28k plus ttl same price 86 discounts are awesome on 370z
because they are very comparable, basically same class - old school, simple rwd sport coupe and have very similar target

I have a BRZ with header and tune. I absolutely love it! Great car. Super reliable. Averages 29mpg basically all the time. Highly recommend!
How much power does ur BRZ make with just the header and tune?

I’ve tangled with a 370 on track...as soon as you hit a straight it just marches away. But...the 86 is easier to drive at the limit, so you can surprise some Z cars at hpdes
5:52 " and I loved it " swallows deeply
Mo Power Baby! Sorry wrong channel. Love your stuff guys, keep it up.
Great production and I agree with most of what you guys mention in this video (especially the torque dip issue that the Toyobaru 86/BRZs have rather than its 'lack of power') BUT, unless you're talking about a used 370z vs a new Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, i'm just not sre if its right to pitch the two together as their specs are incomparable. The 370z is more of a rival to the A90 2020 Toyota Supra and the 86/BRZ are more of a rival to the Mazda MX-5 with its power+weight figures. Nevertheless, good job. And unfortunately, its only in Japan where we can have the Toyota 86 GR, Toyota 86 14R-60 and Toyota 86 GRMN that all feature much better brakes and some feature much better aero and slight power upgrades.
I doubt I agree that its necessary for the 86 to have a 6 cyl as it is suppose to be a successor to the Toyota AE86 which has a 4 cyl that were designed to be driven at 10/10ths around the narrow tight & twisty touge roads in Japan unlike the wide straight roads you get in N.America... Keiichi Tsuchiya (aka THE Drift King) proved the internet that you can have so much fun on the touge in a modest powered AE86 and the 'new' 86 whilst not spending too much on consumable costs. After all, if you want a 6cyl RWD Coupe Toyota, thats what the Supra is for is it not? Tetsuya Tada san (engineer of both the Supra + 86) hinted that they might release the manual version of the Supra soon, once demand of the early batch cars start fading away.
An f86 WILL NOT out handle a 370z let alone a NISMO.
It might feel like it but that's because it's hard to feel like you're sliding in a car that is too weak to actually slide or break loose.
The 86 is what you get your 18 year old as their first sports car so they don't kill themselves.
Say that to Keiichi Tsuchiya. Oh well it's America we are on about...
