I feel like the human inclination to personalize and customize cars is very inherit in our being. It must be really fun to take it further like this car.
Yeah I have to disagree respectfully, I think the Z looks fine but the Supra actually looks more expensive than its price. If you took off the badging and asked me how much I thought the Z cost I'd probably say 35 or 40. The Supra however looks around 70,000 to me while also having the more exciting engine and snappier transmission, while also handling 800hp like a champ after going crazy on the mods.
@@M2habibi yeah I totally agree with you. Part of the reason I bought the Supra instead. Felt like a $60k car all day long. Really gives you a high end feeling for the money

It just dawned on me that there are very few reviews for the base Z. That’s crazy to me considering how much people were talking up how “affordable” it is and go around spouting off the starting price. There also seems to be this current theme where if you don’t by the most expensive, fully loaded, maximum performance version of a car, then you’re broke and it’s trash.
Unfortunately Nissan is barely making the base Z. Thats how automakers do it. They show off the lowest price, but only show you the top line car. And then barley make base cars. Chevy did it with the C8 Corvette, and Toyota even did it with the Supra. Vast majority of cars they are making are the trim cars. Production is still bad these last few years so I guess for them it makes the most sense to build the most expensive cars
Theirs one around me I raced in my full bolt e60 WRX and again in my FBO e85 06 STI. I beat him in both cars up to around 110. He got a downpipe and a tune, we met up again and he pulled me HARD every run 🤟🏻
You still take it to dealers for routine maintenance. But of course anything related to the mods. You can take to the shop who installed them. Or if you did the work yourself. Theres plenty of shops that deal with modded cars..
Hope you still read comments. You think this would be good fit for someone that just enjoys road trips and casual day to day driving? No plans on tracking this, I live in the midwest (huge open highways)
Yeah would be a fun option! Its much softer then the Supra and has better visibility. So if you just want a fun car to drive and not spend $60k, a Z could be good. Check out the Sport trim for about $40k. Could be the perfect option!
Hey bro.... Really need your help. I couldn't bring my GTR back from Germany because it was euro-spec, currently driving an IS500 but for the price point I was looking to get into a Z and do a bunch of upgrades. I'd be looking at an automatic though. Maybe even a Nismo Z.... would you recommend the switch?
I'd go for the Nismo Z all day. However the Toyota Supra is a significantly better car for less money than the Nismo. Normal auto Z is has a very slow to respond transmission. Supra is a lot better to be honest. Or a BMW M2. The Z will feel like a pretty big downgrade from the GTR. Check out our channel we have tons of videos on the new Z and I've owned 2 Supras and a GTR
@@BrosFOURRSpeed In Canada The Z after conversion is 44k USD for the perf model and 35k for the base, which is hard to pass up. The Supra costs quite a bit more, up nearly 15k CAD from perf Z. The Nismo will likely line up in price with the Supra here.
Can't really drive a car like this to its potential without hitting 100mph. Not really going to do that in someone else's car. It's quick tho for the platform. Similar to any tuned Supra
This guy is living the modern JDM dream. A Nismo Z on the way, a R35 GTR and a MKV Supra (yes I know its not made in Japan but still). Only thing missing is a NC1 NSX 😅 Congrats bro.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed You're selling the GTR? I didn't know that. Been following you ever since you had the 370z and remembered when you got the GTR. But I guess with the new Z and Supra manual, you will have more fun with those
There’s a lot of loser trolls under this video. Nonetheless, Being that I found your page when you had the Z, watching this was so much more satisfying and nostalgic. The nismo z out is out now , what’s your move 🤔.
I sold my 2020 Toyota Supra for the Z, after more than a year of it not coming out. I bought a manual Supra. The Z is a cool car but for the money the Supra is way better. We’ve made plenty of content on the Z and the Supra is so much better in every way! And the nismo is only an auto which is crazy to see. But you still can’t even get a Z.
Given there are only a few Nissan Z's even out. A FBO E85 Drag built Z is heavily modified for the time being. Eventually this will have big turbos, but one step at a time. Especially since this car has 300 miles on it
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Its irrelevant for a Z let alone that Z ... or any car for that matter. NO car on this planet with bolt-ons and a tune is considered heavily modified. When you get BIG turbo's and your pumping 1000+ hp, then you can say its heavily modified.
@user-pv3qh8mo4n I was agreeing with you. Instead of calling me a "kid", maybe you should go back and learn to read context. I 100% agree a bolt-on car is not heavily modified. So before attacking next time, read.
You weren't gonna do that to your Z anyway. That's fun and all, but drag cars are for kids, so to speak. Am I wrong? Grant it, it's fun to drive- but owning? Idk.
I would have done all the same performance parts on mine like theirs. My Supra has all the same parts. Just no tuning or E85 yet. I would’ve built a car for the street and mountains. They built theirs for the strip. Just depends on what you want to use the car for
@@josephtejeda854 lol yeah the Z needs mods to get to the level of a stock Supra. Definitely for a different user I think. It if your just building a performance car more for straight line. Z is a great platform. Loose all the extra refinements from a Supra and save $6k. And you have more room to build up the car. So just depends. I chose Supra because I wanted the creature comforts and better handling. And either of my cars would get FBO mods and suspension upgrades. So the price just didn’t make a difference
@@BrosFOURRSpeedhow? Doesn't the supra come with 330hp stock? I'm not biased but the z has so much potential already and it just came out when the supra has been out for like 3 years now
I think it’s obvious, if you add the price difference into mods, the Z would be faster. Save 6-7 K and mod it or get the sport model and save 20k for mods.
Vrx70 turbos are about to be released for the z. 741whp on e43. Mods cost basically are the same when getting up to high hp. The reason why it cost more is because twin turbos are more expensive then single turbos.
I feel like the human inclination to personalize and customize cars is very inherit in our being. It must be really fun to take it further like this car.
Yeah it's definitely something I have to do with anything I buy! Fun cars out there to modify!
Looks better than the Supra as well imo. More timeless, classy, elegant lines that will surely age more gracefully than the over-styled Supra.
Honestly I think the Supra is still better looking inside and out. Z will be a cool car overtime too. But all subjective points. Fast with the mods!
The new Supra looks like shit.
@@KUROSHURAto each their own

Can’t wait to see them run their 10 sec pass in the manual.
Also, white on the Z is the best color, but I will say I’m a bit biased 😎
For sure! Getting some good numbers so far!
White always looks good on a Z!
No, Yellow!
Black for sue, nice try though
Many reviews on the New Z but gotta admit, you are the only one that trully love to do it, fun and entertaining to watch you, keep up the good work!

Very clean car!
thanks for the details on the video , wonder how will it look with wing ,something like the VictorRacing one.
I'm sure a nice wing would look pretty cool on these!

Oh wow! Yeah these things tuned make some power
Helpful, Thanks bro!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I love this car. I’ve always like the 350z-370z but this 400 is in my opinion the best out of them all. I love everything about it
Yeah it has some potential! Fun car modded
Crazy how close the shop is from me! I’ve seen this bad boy in person
Vanessa made an appearance in the background! 😂😂 1:08
Is that a car or a person?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed it's my car lol. Black Q50, far rear lol

When a car is modded like this, who does a tune-up on it? cause I know they wont' touch it

This was great to view. Glad to see how nice the modified Z performs. And sounds 🎶

this is heavily modded or just wheels? bc i’ve seen q50 way faster that’s tuff
It’s heavily modded, I went over all that in the video.
I want a Manual Nismo Z 😏
Hopefully that comes out soon!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed rumors on the forums are that it will be unveiled before year end

@BrosFOURRSpeed just let me know. lol I need to start an official channel at some point also.
@@Swagthizzle Where are you located?
Still waiting on mine since 18 months now 🥴 I don't wanna give up yet

Seems slow maybe cause it didn’t scream like I thought it would. Or maybe you were scared to smash the pedal. Every way nice car

Just getting started!!! Nissan is real daddy!!!
Z is a fun car when modded
Nah, if you have to heavily mod it just to make it more fun car to drive, i would never buy one.
Stock it’s definitely missing some things. It’s a great car to just build it into your version of it. So lots of potential with it!
Kinda boring buying a car and not doing anything to it 😅
For sure! I couldn't imagine not modifying a car lol
Personally disagree, there's a whole car genre just for tuners which the Z has a history of being in that class
