Is The NISMO 370Z Nissan's Hidden Gem??? **Honest Review**

  • Welcome to the Nissan 370Z Nismo!
    We are very familiar with VQ platform, in the form of the R35 GTR (that we love) & the 350Z...which Kenny hates!
    With rivals such as the Porsche Cayman & Audi TT RS (of which Kenny actually owned) the Nismo 370Z sure had some tough competition!
    With a naturally aspirated 3.7 Litre V6 engine, it was also deemed sedate by many.
    We enter every car feature with an open mind, but I was doubtful that Kenny's mind would be changed, even by Phil's beautiful, low mileage example we have here.
    Join us as we push this dedicated sports car through it's paces and give you some honest, home truths about this "old technology" based Nissan!
    Massive thanks to the owner Phil for encouraging to, and I quote, "drive it as hard as he does on track".

    Nismo 370Z is criminally underrated

    @Unxpekted Před 11 měsíci +18

    Awesome to see a sudden resurgence for the passion of the Z. As a daily driver of a 09 Sport + Touring in pristine condition I can say the car is an absolute banger for me. I love driving the car and get excited every time I turn on the ignition, it's fun/fast enough for street driving, get's me in and out of lanes as needed, it is a ton of fun on the corners, it withstood the test of time aesthetically as I get a lot of compliments on the car, it's not riddled with excessive technology (less is more), and lastly it's bulletproof when it comes to reliability. Nice review! For those who want more power Z Motorsports is putting out an easy to install supercharger that'll bump you up to 500 hp on 93 octane for roughly 8k USD.

    I need to comment just because i can compare this to several cars. Ive owned dozen of drivers cars and I currently own;
    Integra Type R
    M3CS
    NA1 NSX 5mt
    E36M3 5mt
    Autocross Golf R 6mt( rip)
    I just picked up a Nismo V2 6mt and let me tell you what an underrated machine this is. This thing is neutral, poised, with excellent feedback and dynamics. I will he autocrossing it tomorrow & feel confident it will do well.
    Only gripe is that it drives a little big, given its weight. But thats it. Its a modern analog car for drivers. V2 also has some additional chassis bracing compared to the V1 that most dont know about!

    370z is a fantastic sports car. It's a driver's car that's far more analog and connected to the road than almost anything in production today. I had a 2015 370z Sport for about 3 years, and it was completely reliable. Such a fun, sexy car.

    I made the mistake of buying some cheap(er) tyres to replace the oem ones...the back isn't as planted...should have just spent the extra $ for the dunlops. Still fun but the back end kicks fairly reliably even in warm weather.

    To anyone with a modified exhaust you need to get the fake Bose engine sound turned off by the dealer. It's easy for them to do but you might need to show them how. It transforms the car. In that video, from inside the car, that's all that I could hear, fake sound.
    I have an Invidia Gemini on mine, which isn't the loudest but it sounds wonderful when it's all that you can hear. Beautifully built and gives it a genuine kick in the pants with better economy too.
    Lovely cars. I've had the back end step out twice on mine but it was instantly catchable and very confidence inspiring in that regard because i've had other cars that just keep rotating[MX-5 ND].

    • @deanogee1510

      😂 I have the same set up and you need the Fake sound to cut out some of the cabin drone ! Up graded exhaust means extra cabin drone ..i had to sound proof the boot ! Thats one of the reasons it there for !!

      @martinron Před 7 měsíci +2

      Mines a 2013 Touring Sport so doesn't have the fake in cabin sound. I did a lot of research on exhaust before going for the Invidia Gemini as it would appear to have next to zero drone and a more mature sound, turns out to be the best 1,800 bucks (I'm on Vancouver Island) that I've spent on it, it sounds freekin amazing, and along with a Z1 2.5" cold air intake made a noticeable difference to drivability and Umph!! I fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires, and an Eibach Pro handling kit with progressive uprated springs that dropped the ride height by 20mm (just perfect) and heavier adjustable sway bars - all this has made it one of my all time favorite cars to drive, and I driven and competed in quite a few!
      Thanks so much for the brilliant review, the 370z is a classic in my opinion, last of a breed, and you absolutely have to drive one to appreciate that. I'm in my sixties but feel like a nineteen year old, and look like a Cheshire Cat every time I drive it ;o)

    • @keng4066
      @keng4066 Před 6 měsíci +1

      I can relate to much of what you say. I also spent ages researching exhausts before settling on the Invidia Gemini and it is a bargain for the perfect sound with zero drone + some extra power and better economy. The cold start up blows me away every time! I also fitted Pilot Sport 4s tyres, at 18,000km and they're still looking good at 36,000km unlike the Bridgestones at the same distance. I've got 10 years on you so it's more than enough as it is without going any further and I also feel like i'm 18[even younger!] again, especially when I wind it out to overtake.
      I'm tempted to fit the Invidia HF cats and would love to fit headers but that[headers] is a major pain which i'm not doing or paying to have done, plus there are complications for RHD.
      It was a great review and I appreciate your interesting reply. @@martinron

      Not fast at all? They do 0-60 in about 5 seconds flat and run mid 13's in the 1/4 mile. Top speed 155+. That's still pretty fast.

    I’ll speak for all 370Z and as a NISMO 370Z owner myself… The standard clutch pedal sucks. Buy an RJM clutch pedal assembly ajd thank me later, and the Z doesn’t come with an LSD. It’s an eLSD. Upgrade to a 1.5 way and it’ll make the car drive so much better and way more predictable.
