I think the news was leaked a little early, there is nothing in the 2026 information shared to dealers that the 6psd will be available in the Nismo Z. It will most likely be available as a 2027 inline with the new Infiniti offering.

 

Makes sense as 2026 models are likely already designed. The Mercedes transmission in the Nismo gets good reviews for an auto:
I like Matt and Smoking Tire because he cares about the same things I do and he doesn't spend all of his time on Supercars.

He literally states in the review how he feels that the Nismo Z is a transformation from the Nissan Z Performance, which is unlike the prior Gen where the Nismo felt more like a modded Z.

Low mileage versions of the prior gen Nismo Z with manual trans are slowly creeping up in price and a low mileage version will cost you 40K (higher trim levels were only 50K new).

 

Hey fellow AWD coupe owners. On rockauto, the shock/strut assemblies have different part numbers for the Sedan and the Coupe.

I wanted to get some coilovers (BC or something), but I am not seeing anything specifically for the AWD coupe. The AWD coilover thread does not mention if the sedan coilovers will work w/ the coupe. I wanted to get some clarification.

 

Here are BC coilovers for the Infiniti G37 coupe and sedan, AWD, cause BC states one part number for both of them https://coiloverdepot.com/products/0...xoCnbYQAvD_BwE

 

OTS, question.

Can any of you still access the 370Z community?
http://www.the370z.com/

There was a ton of good content there in the past, but for the past few months "Database Error"

Did they shut it down?

Seems that the domain is still active: https://www.whois.com/whois/the370z.com

The 370Z reddit sub is active, but the posts are mostly "Did I pay too much" and "why is it making this sound"

Old Z forum had alot of good DIY and Review content.

 

I've seen more station wagons in Germany in one day than in a whole year in the States. Go figure. Hardly any SUV's though,LOL.

 

I was in London and Paris a few months back and it seems that the crossover vehicles and hatchbacks rule the roost there....

Lots of Toyota Corolla Touring Sport models in the UK, which I happen to like:

 

Taxes. Pickups and suvs are taxed MUCH higher than cars, so the wagon has a huge presence.

 

I've been mostly seeing the same over the past few months, but its intermittent. Generally I will see the DB error, however every once in a while the link I'm following will load without issue.

Likely either something going on with their webhost, or a lack or maintenance/updates on their end. Zilvia (an old s-chassis forum) had similar issues a couple years ago, but they've since resolved it once the owners were notified. Not sure who runs http://www.the370z.com/, but hopefully someone reaches out soon.

 

Damn it's been a while, hope all of you are doing well

 

He's returned!

 

All is pretty quiet here, Bull. I miss having your around.

 

I miss this place as well. Its pretty funny how very little time I have now that I'm back to turning wrenches and wiring.

Life is good and I'm happy. Working on race/drift cars now full time.

This is our current project for out VQ37VHR drift car. Stillen supercharger.

We traded a lift for the SC

Its all Stillen. Because it was a full kit we're running ice water for now and later switch to A2A cooler.
We'll be switching to ECUTEK from Uprev to ditch the MAFs and switch to speed density (MAP) and run an open blower.
The adapter to install the Mafs is 2.5 Y pipe that goes into the charger that 4-5 inches and it's about 3 inches long, ridiculous bottleneck there.
Depending on how hot we get we might spray water/methanol, who knows.
Very confident and excited since we made 330whp, we should see some really good numbers.

 

Just starting to look into audio upgrades, looking for a noticeable bump in sound quality. Thinking just a speaker upgrade without getting into amps, subs, etc. Also prefer to keep the OEM headunit.

Planning to do my homework, just curious if anyone has done a modest audio upgrade and has recs on what worked well

 

Speakers only are really tricky as alot of thought has been put into the way the drivers work together to create a sound stage. I have looked into this a few times and the biggest bang for the buck would be to change the bandpass in the front door 3.5" mids in as they ring a bit because the higher frequencies designed for the tweeter are included in the OEM filtering for the mid. Rear seat drivers are easy to replace with efficient 2 ohm units, but little is added by them into the overall imaging (he talks about this early in the thread below).

Read through @milosz thread here as he does a very detailed analysis of our setup: https://www.myg37.com/forums/audio-v...-analysis.html (#28 discusses the midrange issue)

Initially, I always recommend adding an amp, sub and DSP (depending on the music you listen to, needed for bass recreation on older music) off the low level inputs (OWC makes a harness) on the OEM Bose system. You would be surprised just how much better the OEM system sounds with decently powered bass (not over or underpowered) and some DSP-based recreation (examples of where its needed: Spirit of the Radio (Rush), Tangerine (Zeppelin), A National Acrobat (Sabbath), etc.)

You will need to reinforce the adhesive padding on seat where it connects to the metal hooks or the inevitable buzzing will drive you nuts. I can show you the weak spot.
