Why I Sold My 2023 Nissan Z

Күн бұрын

We're helping people build their car on martiniworks.com/ so if you need wheels, tires, suspension, performance parts, or just plain help, you know where to go. We're not doing this for a check, we're doing it because it's fun.
Over the past year I have had the awesome experience of owning a brand new 2023 Nissan Z Performance. We drove it, modified it, and took it across the country for track days and car shows. I talked about why I loved the twin turbo setup and the new feeling with the BC coilovers; so why am I selling it? Good question...let's talk about it.
I could seriously go for some subs & follow right about meow, so see the links below:

Because you paid 70k for a car that needed 30k in upgrades to keep up with a 63k Supra, that can't keep up with a 65k M2, which is more boring to drive then a 50k Mustang, while thinking, "I could have had a Z51 Corvette."

There are some comments saying Because you can't mod new cars. The thing is you can buy a new car that has 400 HP and race suspension from the factory. It doesn't even need modifying. Buying a 90s car, repairing and giving the mods to get the same level of performance would cost you more than the new car.

You're right, new cars really don't need any mods. $4k+hours on a brand new car because you don't like how it sounds? 3k because you want cute wheels? First world problems if I ever heard them.

I have a 2024 Z, it’s black, manual with the blue interior. It’s on Nismo coilovers, which gets rid of that touring feel completely. You wouldn’t believe how much attention and love it gets when I’m out and about. You’d think I was driving an exotic. There are a lot of Z enthusiasts out there who are excited to see it because they’ve never seen one in person. I think that’s fun, and really enjoy having something different. If you can afford the car you like, buy it. It’s that simple. It’s about to get the Alpha 5 kit from AMS for $4,200 and will make 500 whp. For me, that’s a pretty good value that I’m excited about. Just wanted to chime in as a Z owner, give y’all a dif perspective. Cheers.

Not exactly the same car, but I had an old Datsun Z that I adored and then later I bought a 370Z when it was still a late model car.. It never lived up to what I thought it should have been; my old Datsun was more raw and enjoyable in almost every way, unless you just wanted to look at a stats sheet. I felt that you needed to sink quite a bit of money into the 370 with mods to bring it up to where it should have been from the get-go.. but maybe that's the just the way it is with a lot of newer cars that are still trying to appeal to as large of a market-share as they can.

Let me write the honest version of this video. We paid $65k for what we thought was a sports car, but ended up being a grand tourer at best. We looked at the interior and said, wow, I seen 30k cars with better materials. But we already bought the car and said, let's make money on youtube content. We put in 20k in mods and realized no one was really watching because a Z costing more than 50k TTL included is an exercise in futile delusion. And we think this car may soon depreciate to depressing numbers so we quit while we were ahead. But if we want to keep a relationship with our sponsors? We can't call this Z a POS minus the engine.

You need to tell your editor to get rid of that annoying shutter sound and graphic every time there's a transition. It got incredibly distracting

The Nissan Z, at least from what I've seen, had all this hype and after it came out I stopped hearing everyone talk about it. I could be wrong, but it just seemed like it came out, people weren't really impressed, and few people cared about it anymore.

Just started the wijeo (shoutout Uncle Roger), but i'm willing to bet that he just realized it was a reskinned q60 red sport with the same old manual from before and was completely underwhelmed, lol.. Edit: I was partially correct.. definitely underwhelmed.. Was expecting something more than what Nissan offered up... but Nissan had to pinch pennies and work with what they had in the parts bin.. Bottom line, the juice (feelings from the car) wasn't worth the squeeze ($900/mo)..

The production numbers for the Z are still quite low. I think they've built less than 3000 of them in 2 years of production. If this continues it will be tough for the prices of aftermarket parts to go down. I don't think Nissan ever intended to build as many of these as they did the prior generations. This is like a limited production send-off to the internal combustion-powered Z car. They intentionally styled it as an amalgamation of all the prior generations. 240z front end, 300zx taillights. There is a lot of Z31 300zx in the side profile, ground effects, and metal/silver swooping line down the side. Obviously it can't get away from the 370z roofline and glass, so the resemblance is unavoidable. I wouldn't recommend that anyone buy this car as a cost-effective tuning platform. Buy it if you really love Z cars and want to own what will probably become a piece of history. If you're willing to invest a few grand you can make it stupid fast, but there are cheaper, more common platforms for that.

Always wanted a Z. Watched a BMW M2 eat one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I bought a BMW instead 🤷‍♂️

I hate that everything inside is so lack luster when the exterior is so sexy imo. They shouldve just figured out a way to put the VR38 in here and people would have bought it at 70-80k easy.

@erutne 25 күн бұрын

just buy old cars that don't take 20k to build, all these projects seem insanely big for the time being, id love to see you guys build a car thats less than 12k to being with

@Walter370z 26 күн бұрын

Just get a 350z/370z instead for way cheaper if you still want to do z content. We would all appreciate one of those instead of the new ones and way more content to shoot.

It sounds like a money pit you could take the same amount of money and build a sick ass car but sometimes we learn the hard way

@itsjustnate08 Ай бұрын

I think the new Z is a great car, but it doesn't really do much that similar cars in its price bracket are are already doing better. Sometimes cheaper!

@jdmsnail2505 Ай бұрын

buy what you like and not try be like everyone else just an idea, I'm personally sick of seeing 20+ supras at car events but that's just my opinion.
