Very cool car and i think people are missing that this is easily a daily driver where the GTR is absolutely not great daily. The maintenance costs i eat up are insane, not to mention if you have to replace something serious like a trans etc...
I used to own a 1974 Datsun 260Z. It was IMPOSSIBLE to find parts for back in the 1980's.I bought it for $900.00. The prices of the new Z's are insane. That goes for just about every car these days. I thought about buying one. But, I just can't justify the price.
i still have yet to see one on the road in south central PA... and as for the transmission. with the price tag they put on this car, and sticking with a torque converter, they should have given us a ZF trans
I was looking at the name of your channel and thought... Max Health Points? It shows how much of a gamer I am. Then my last brain cell tapped the inside of my cranium and said “Horse Power.. Max Horse Power’’… 💀
Wonderful! Just got my 2024 Nismo a month or so ago. I plan on getting a EcuTek dyno tune and an awe touring exhaust. What’s your thoughts on that? I won’t track my car or anything I just want some extra power and a better sounding exhaust. Will I need a better heat exchanger with these mods?
Sounds like you’re going to have a lot of fun with it!! Feel free to message the owner with your question, via his Instagram if you’d like! But sounds like a solid plan, it’s a phenomenal car!
If you are getting it tuned and running an exhaust, I highly recommend doing lower downpipes as well. The lower downpipe to the stock tail pipe is 1.75" and should be replaced together to get the most out of your tune. This car has full downpipes and exhaust and is also ECUTEK tuned.
@@peterbiviano747I really recommend the borla exhaust, I have a vr30 with the borla s type and it has the v6 rumble at low rpm’s. It’s by far the best exhaust, and I really recommend the borla attack when it comes out for the z.
I dunno why other than my mind is super saturated by the Amuse 380RS body kit but sitting here wishing they make an add on body kit to Nismo models like the 380RS (which that adds onto the Nismo 350Z)
Great video. I just ordered one of these cars. Would you mind sharing the Nismo Cold Air Intake part number? Right off the bat I want to add a few of the easy bolt-on's you added. I think the Oil cap and Carbon Fiber Engine Cover are a no brainer. :-)
@@TheWityful they are actually about $55k die a 2009! They are around $130k if you get a very new one. But 2017’s are great and you can get one for around $80k!!! Great bang for your buck with these!
You could literally get 750whp on stock internals and trans with the z my guy. No supra can do that in stock trans, and it cost 10k to upgrade the trans.
My thoughts. Supra is significantly cheaper than the Z and it’s faster out the box and you could see 500-600 hp relatively easy with a Supra you really don’t need past 500hp for a street/track car past 600 without heavy suspension mods car will fall apart on the track and only he roll racer. Internet makes everybody think it’s about hp and torque
Thank you! I loved the video and the car! Awesome tune and sound! Finally, a very positive video of Z Nismo. You get it. I am sick down to my stomach with all of these unappreciative RUclipsrs criticizing this awesome sports car born in the sea of SUV’s. Forget them! So what, there’s no manual? Z Performance has manual. So what, the interior is similar to 370Z? Can’t see these cool digital displays? I guess they just can’t be pleased. For what it’s worth, their reviews may reduce the price before I lay my hands on one.🤞
That’s a great question I should have asked myself! I’m assuming it is stiffer and more “performance” rated, but specifically I don’t know! The owner would probably answer if you messaged him via his Instagram though, feel free to do that! Thanks for watching!😁
The OEM nismo suspension and nismo coils are very similar. The primary difference is the nismo coils allow you to adjust dampening and height. The OEM nismo shocks on here are very stiff, great for track but could be harsh for the daily commuter.
I've owned 2 maximas so I love Nissans VQ engines. But for 60k+ this is what a Nismo should come as. And nissan has to offer a manual or dual clutch. Beautiful car!
It's not about shifting fast. It's about the entire driving experience of a sports car. These new cars are kind of boring (tamed) even with 500hp, take away the gearbox and third pedal and after a few pulls becomes numb and boring
@@madrx2 it would be interesting to see them go at it around a track though. While the Gtr would have superior grip, if the driver of the z was skilled enough they may be able to slide through the turns and keep up.
Shouldve been a regular Z. You can get a used 2023 Z for about 35-40k. Buy some good tires, add better coil susp add a cold air intake and youre at under 4.9 sec 0-60 and 450+ hp depending on how yoi tune it. All this for under $50k USD.
He's right, they are selling for several K under MSRP because the car wasn't what we thought it might be. An M2 you can have full leather, adaptive suspension, 18 way power seats, better tech and stereo, etc, etc.
If you don’t know how to drive manual just say that😂 A good manual trans is more fun than even the fastest dual clutch money can buy. How is wanting to have a better connection to the car a bad thing haha
I’m absolutely gunning for one of these in passion red within the next year or two! Just letting them depreciate for 1-2 years because I can’t justify the prices of these new.
Heck yeah, congrats! I tagged the owner’s Instagram in the description, feel free to message him with questions about the upgrades! Thanks for watching!
I mean if anything they should’ve called them a 300z or just go back to the classic 300zx since it is a 3.0 liter V6 twin turbo. Just like the beautiful 90’s legend 300zx twin turbo.
Gonna miss true manual car!!! Not saying that with new and better technology they aren't great. Will miss manual rocking the transmission thru the gears!
Worlds apart. The Z32 on stock wheels/tires was a comfy GT driver, but handling on track would get circles run around it, even by the 350Z. The 370 was even better and this would demolish it.
I like it but it needs power seats option for those that want it, full leather for those that want it, has to have adaptive suspension so you can daily drive it as well. Maybe it should be widened like BMW does its cars rather than just putting stick on fender flares.
Had a lot of fun! You put it together really well man🎉

A 260Z is awesome! Yeah cars are so expensive nowadays!
Buy a lightly used 370z. Lots of almost no miles cars for 1/2 price of new. Fantastic car to daily.
@@happypierce2 I like the look of the new Z better. So, maybe I'll have to wait a few years for a good used one.
The Nismo front bumper fixes the only gripe about the looks of the standard car. It looks perfect.
I agree, it looks great!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I was hating until I heard about the 480 hp and 510 ft/lbs to the wheels.
Haha exactly! It’s definitely a fun car!

@@SonicTuned I have performance model Z not doing exhaust can I still do stage 1 tune Won’t be tracking car
@@peterbiviano747yes, sir! My stage 1 tune is meant for bone stock cars. It is about a 70whp increase over stock on 93 at sea level.

Probably how the Nismo should've come from the factory for the $68k they are asking for it new

Thanks so much!! And I’m sure the owner would give that part number to you! Feel free to message him on Instagram, his link in my description!😁
I feel like you were short shifting a bit when i do a pull in my nismo that thing hits redline everygear 😅😅
The time he had on it performed best at those shift points! It lowered the shift points a bit!😅
70k ill get a gtr lol
Haha I suppose that’s an option!
Gtr is 150k for a 16 year old car 😂
@@TheWityful they are actually about $55k die a 2009! They are around $130k if you get a very new one. But 2017’s are great and you can get one for around $80k!!!

He doesn't buy used, obviously, or he'd know that. 😂 @MaxHPower
go get one then big dawg
Styling though
Sell it and buy a Supra. Lol
Eww
You could literally get 750whp on stock internals and trans with the z my guy. No supra can do that in stock trans, and it cost 10k to upgrade the trans.
ERRRR WRONG@@2seep

I’m glad you enjoyed!! I loved this comment! Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts!
I personally couldn't care less about the interior or the fact that it's an old platform, but the lack of manual just kills it for me.
Nismo is cool if you don’t like proper manual. Glad I waited because I hear they’re doing a manual Nismo.
good looking 400Z
Was waiting on a new video I don’t have a cool car you can review but I’m from the area your gonna make it big don’t stop max
Thank you!! That means a lot, I really appreciate it!! 🙏
@@MaxHPower yes man I got a 2021 loaded Malibu lT give me a year and you’ll be reviewing my new car much love from Detroit man
Stock Supra is still faster and cheaper. Down pipe and tune wirh tires , 10:90 ..Z cant even come close with those 2 mods
.lol
Great video! The owner had some great input!
Thank you, means a lot🙏!! And yes he definitely did!!
How does the NISMO suspension he put on the car (bought from Nissan) differ from the oem NISMO suspension these cars come with?
That’s a great question I should have asked myself! I’m assuming it is stiffer and more “performance” rated, but specifically I don’t know! The owner would probably answer if you messaged him via his Instagram though, feel free to do that!

VR30 has massive potential with very few mods. Love the Nismo Z. 🎉
Hey HPMax fam this Z rips and I’m looking forward to replacing my 350z Roadster soon 🫠
That’s awesome!!! Thanks for the comment!
Nice car , but wrong transmission.
Please elaborate
I really recommend a borla or magnaflow. I get the v6 rumble on the borla, with just a cat back no downpipes.
Interesting!! Thanks for the comment!!
import owners dont really use those brand exhausts typically. they are way more common on american made cars.
Love it!
Thanks!! Looks like you do great work!🔥

Im a Mustang guy, but love turbos, id much rather have one of these over a new Mustang and you can get a brand new Z Sport now for $40k
I’m into it 🤙🏽
Heck yeah!!🔥
@MaxHP lol this would demolish a stock GTR in a pull.
It’s be a good race!
@@MaxHPower organize it pleeeeassee 😎
From a roll possibly, from a dig absolutely not.
@lucian7182 Yeh a dig the z would have no chance
@@madrx2 it would be interesting to see them go at it around a track though. While the Gtr would have superior grip, if the driver of the z was skilled enough they may be able to slide through the turns and keep up.
Sounds amazing. Little bit louder than my preference for daily driving reasons but nice!
I’m glad you like it! Thanks for watching!🙌
I would never daily drive a Nismo
I'm a Nissan factory trained technician from the UK, so gutted they're not bringing this here!
Ahh dang!! I didn’t even realize they aren’t!
I’m a Nissan North American manufacturing supervisor I was super excited when they brought this to the factory for employees to test drive

But then it’s not a Nismo🥲
Sell it and buy a Konizegg Agera hh
Haha great idea!😂😂
Its a 400z no matter what (im aware its because of the litres but who cares lol)
70,000 that’s pretty steep 😊launch mode be a 🆒 feature ya know…. very nice though enjoy lifestyle
It is, but sheesh it is nice! Thanks for watching!!😁🔥
How true is it that the nismo models come A2A and not A2W ??
Not true.
@@heftygainz cause you’d know lmfao
@@TankQ50they don’t, you can literally see the a2w intercoolers in the engine bay.
waste of money, leave the car alone it has plenty of power.
He's right, they are selling for several K under MSRP because the car wasn't what we thought it might be. An M2 you can have full leather, adaptive suspension, 18 way power seats, better tech and stereo, etc, etc.
Here in California our 400z are stock lmao
I drive a car that is 9 years older and gets 700 hp? I only paid 22k hmmm?
Haha that sounds like a great car!!
"it break loose so easy, especially in second gear" I see it will still be amazing platform for drifting
It would be a fun drift car!
Paying over MSRP on a Nissan Z is crazy
u think a 26 would fit in it? i would get one if i could swap out for an RB26
If it fits in a 350 or 370 it’ll fit in this one. All the same platform.
Automatic in Nismo is not a sports car. Electronic dash sucks.
So… Is a manual chevy Silverado a sports car? I don’t think it’s the transmission that makes a car a sports car😉😉
Thanks for the video. I am planning to buy a Performance model Z (manual) maybe this weekend. Wish me luck!
how did it go?
@@ghosttownbmw trying to find best financing. Lowest is 6.20% here at NorCal. Thanks for the follow up!
sounds like a 300zx auto boat junk
People are going to regret sleeping on these one day because "muh manual!" Such an outstanding car!
Very true!!
If you don’t know how to drive manual just say that😂 A good manual trans is more fun than even the fastest dual clutch money can buy. How is wanting to have a better connection to the car a bad thing haha
In the new cars you're assisted by electronics and good luck if you happen to burn through a clutch which can be costly.
I’m asleep too 70k is ridiculous maybe catch one on the used market.
I’m absolutely gunning for one of these in passion red within the next year or two! Just letting them depreciate for 1-2 years because I can’t justify the prices of these new.
the cope explaining auto is hilarious, supra > z. There under MSRP for a reason.
Why spend the ridiculous extra on a nismo if you're going to tune it anyways? Just buy some red liner tape.
For me everything is great but the front end
Interesting take on it! It’s definitely different!
Amazing car! I just purchased the 2024 Nismo. Would love to get a list of the mods you did! $5-6k is right up my alley!
Heck yeah, congrats! I tagged the owner’s Instagram in the description, feel free to message him with questions about the upgrades! Thanks for watching!
It’s a 400z
67k ??????
i can get 550hp plus for that money....
I'm dreaming to have Z
They are awesome!!
I mean if anything they should’ve called them a 300z or just go back to the classic 300zx since it is a 3.0 liter V6 twin turbo. Just like the beautiful 90’s legend 300zx twin turbo.
Right haha!
Absolutely gorgeous car. Looks like fun to drive too. Congratulations to the owner. Enjoyed watching that.
Liked and subbed.
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate your support!!🙌🙌
Gonna miss true manual car!!! Not saying that with new and better technology they aren't great. Will miss manual rocking the transmission thru the gears!
Hopefully they release one! It’s rumored that they will!
Wondering if you were to compare it to the original 300zx in terms of road handing and drive comfort.
Worlds apart. The Z32 on stock wheels/tires was a comfy GT driver, but handling on track would get circles run around it, even by the 350Z. The 370 was even better and this would demolish it.

I don’t think you’re the only one that wants those things! We’ll see what Nissan/Nismo does in the future.
NISMO has no Z in it
Correct, did I put a z in it somewhere?
What's the retail on that?
About $67k! He talks about it at 6:49!😁
Dayumm mods right off the bat. I like that 👍🏼
Every time I hear an auto change gears I get nauseous
I said it wasn’t a good buy cause I thought it had the basic 3.7 liter twin turbo this thing is a monster
🙌🔥
The 300ZX wasn’t low on torque lol
I love that Nismo Z it’s so pretty
I think you have to upgrade turbos to get over 500whp 🤔
Whp yeah most likely! This is over 500 to the crank though! They are pretty rowdy!
Need that exhaust setup asap, love how rumbly it sounds!
Ah yeah it sounded amazing! It was a really fun car to film, I loved it!
Thanks for watching!
if you wanna be pedantic about the name, its not "Zee" its "Zed"
Haha, we’re weird in America🤘😂
A single exit tomei titanium exhaust setup would sound so good
That would be sweet!
Ok
Nice looking 400z
Haha 400z👀😂
Nice 400z
Too bad those headlights ruin the whole car that looks amazing everywhere else
Honestly I actually love it but for the money though idkno but if I had it yea I’d buy it!! What’s it pushing for hop? 400? Still it’s nice
It’s awesome for sure! And this is 480 to the wheel, 500+ crank horsepower. Stock they are about 415 crank I believe.
