Nismo 380RS review - The ultimate Z33 350Z?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 ноя 2023
- Occasionally, Nismo will give its fans what they want and sprinkle some Motorsport magic on a Nissan road car - like this Nismo 380 RS.
It's one-of-263 ever made and one-of-61 ever made in black! It produces a hefty 257kW/397Nm that is sent through a six-speed manual and then a rear LSD differential.
Watch until the end for the drive by!

Finally a proper review on the holy grail of 350z this is more rare than the Nismo found in the US.
Absolutely is the holy grail. Thanks for watching
I've been looking for a proper review on one of these since I bought my 350z a year ago. Great video man, thank you
Thank you mate !
Honestly I watched this then was going to subscribe, thought you guys must have 100k+ subs. How on earth is this channel not massive
Haha thanks! We only started the channel a month ago. Hopefully we grow from here. Really appreciate your kind words
Been waiting on a proper video finally
Glad we could deliver
I can’t put in words how excited I was to play this video. Once I read the description and title. I subscribe to right away and honestly it’s refreshing to find someone who’s as knowledgeable as you, and this video was a real treat because as a huge Nissan, 350 Z enthusiast, as well as overall car enthusiast who owns a 350 Z with a HR motor, I can already predict that I’ll be playing this video very often and looking for more uploads from your channel!! 💯🙌
Thank you for taking the time to write those kind words! I am a car tragic like you and really appreciate the detail.
Will try out best to keep videos coming!
Loving every bit of this vid. Got yourself a new sub mate!
Epic - thank you for subbing. Next video is coming soon!
Great video and cool car. I love your enthusiasm mate.
Thank you mate, we love what we do and love cars here. I hope that comes through in the clips!
Brilliant review! Subscribed.
Thank you. Have another review coming soon.
Oh man I love these videos 🤣great stuff
Haha, we have some fun
Awesome review from one of us ! Thanks
We are car people!
That jacking segment was hilarious, nice vid
Hahahah, appreciate it. We’re honest people
Would be easier if you rolled the car onto a ramp or timber pieces that would’ve given you plenty of room to clear any fouling issues.
@@johnvigolo4972 no, as the problem lies with the car in the air and how deep the jacking points are. If you dont extend the pads to the highest point (sketchy as you can hyper extend them and make the car wobbly) you risk the upper part of the hoist arm pressing against the underside of the car
Sure its plastic and bendy and won't "damage" it per se, but i don't like metal on plastic contact.
“Look at these welds here..honestly..Isnt she f**king lovely, Stevie Wonder f*cking welded these i recken” 😩😩😆😆😆😆😆
I felt the lifting part 😂
haha, it's legit
Never knew about this im in the usa and have a 06 350z . Im subbing
Thank you!
Great video my friend. I'm over in Scotland and have a white 380rs. Had it for a few years now.The nismo chassis also has some extra welding carried out at Autech and the Yamaha damper bars behind the front bumper and at the rear strut tower, if you were to remove the boot floor piece you shoukd be able to see it 👍🏻
Ooo - I will go and see. How has your car been to you? Trouble free?
@@CultandClassic yes no issues. More of a garage queen to be fair but did a few road trips and couple of car shows. Great to drive.
hahhahaaha this was a fun watch, I subbed and awaiting more
Thanks!!!
Wow, this is my dream car (but in pearl white) 😍Thanks for the review, very few reviews of these, especially in english
One of our favs, we’ve been keen to drive one for ages. Thanks for watching!
I want the VQ38HR so bad in my Infiniti Hybrid Q50 Sport with the VQ35HR. Suspension wise, I have all the same parts with the nismo SPL suspension and the upgraded struts with swift springs and a stiffer subframe track oriented bushing with a quaife LSD. But just the addition of the VQ38HR will me the hybrid Q50 the fastest hybrid with a naturally aspirated engine on the road.
I love jdm stuff and I genuinely never knew this car existed
Awesome, job done :D
Nice find ! Small storage is for coins for tolls , i guess . Larger storage area gets filled with a navigation updrade instead or some sort . Great work.
Or maybe it fits an ETC reader! Good point
@CultandClassic etc reader is by your right knee in the jdm z's. When I got mine it took me a minute to remember etc was a thing.
These exist!? SICK!
Oh yeah they do. Thanks for watching
Yeah, I did not know of this, I thought thye all had the 3.5 lump, so thanks.
No worries :D
What wheels/rims are those? Looks amazing!
Rays Nismo Lm-GT !
I got those same exact wheels on my Z! Bronze LMGT-4s! :-)
Good taste sir
Learned this beast from gran turismo under amuse always thought they were just special to Japan vehicles
Very special car, you’re not wrong
I have a USDM 350z Nismo and I just wish it came with the same engine as the 380RS. Maybe I can import one when they become legal in the US years from now.
Likely
Very good Review..👍🏻 there’s just one Z which is above of that Z, the 380RS Superleggera. Just 20 were Build, its quite the same as this one but over 100kg lighter.
Cool car, but it was built by Amuse and not a factory-sanctioned Nissan.
@@CultandClassic oh really ? I’m sorry 🤦🏼♂️
Lmaooo Stevie Wonders welds
Isn't sheeee lovellllyyyy
How does a 350z rs compare to a 370z or nismo in speed and power? I imagine it can hold it's own. The regular nismo can barely compete with base 370z.
Wait until you realise NISMO 380RS has better overall performance than the new Z PERFORMANCE model let alone 370Z NISMO
dive the car onto planks of wood.gives you more clearence to get the ramp legs under....great car
Are Toyota welds great? 😊
Let’s see on the next video 😎
I put my phone in the dash when wearing shorts. Otherwise it falls out in between the seat and console.
Few points that are not accurate in the video. Missed some points as well. Also this car was never made for the US market. We did get the Nismo 350z from 07-08 only 1613 were made between the two years, but the RS was exclusive for Japan only.
The dash is the same as the normal car...
Love my 350z Nimso…(stop pointing at the camera/viewers…it’s rude asf)
You can point at the screen (and back at me) at any point my friend
Don’t tell people 🤣🤣🤣
Hahah, my bad 😂
These 380rs are well expensive
Worth the bank!
*promo sm*
Tf is kilowatts 💀
Bruh, it's metric ponies :D
8:10 Dang my 2008 350z Nismo is cleaner than that 380RS…
Wait just a cotton picking minute there! Those welds on the components underneath the car look like shitty repairs. I absolutely refuse to believe that that is the quality that Nismo would approve of.
Haha, no stage magic or lies here mate. This is how they build them. If you refuse to believe, you can’t be saved 😂
I can confirm that these are the exact welds that every 350z that I've broke for parts have. I've never saw one that's split so they do the job lol
@@ImagineBuildRaceyup, old mate Mario has no idea above
I enjoyed the video, but you keep referencing the 350Z. Did you perhaps mean to say 370Z? Z32 is the 350Z whereas the Z33 is the 370Z which is identical to this 380Z. Anyway, I'm a 350Z owner, would also love to have a 370Z, and never knew a 380Z existed until I saw this vid.
The 350z is the z33. I also own one, I would think you would know that😅
Also the 380rs is a 350z submodel not 370
@@seattlesown91__68 yeah I got all confused
We all learn together here :D
Appreciate you clarifying :)
