I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 226,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
The best news for buyers is that, since this engine is already being used in the Infiniti Q60, there is already plenty of tuning potential out there. There are cars dynoing 450+hp and 500+tq with just a tune.
Good write up...For about 95% of drivers, the new Z will provide enough performance in all areas. For the other 5%, they need to get a Nismo/Track package if available. These cars are intended to be driven daily on public roads. If you need a track car, modify it to your taste. Anthony, Please get a desk microphone or collar mic. There's a echo bouncing off the walls.
Why was this compared to the older model 350 and not 370? Will the new 400 have oil cooler? Also will the new 400 have 0 zero lift like the 370. There's seems to be a big difference in the wing from sport version. Does the 370 have wider rear tires that the 400 ? Sorry for so many questions but I feel this cannot be downgraded. Will there be a sport package? Thanks to any questions you are able to answer. I'm really interested in this new model but it needs to be better performance compared to the 370z which I did own and drive for a few years.
It was compared in this fashion because everyone knows me for the 350Z and this was the best documentation I could find from Nissan that showed a direct comparison.
You'll have to remove the lower plenum. It's a decent size job, but you can do it in a weekend. If you don't have a plenum spacer, now is the time to do that mod as well.
Thank you for the detailed overview. It seems that they are pricing the base model a hair under 40k and no info on the performance trim, which is concerning because it has all the upgrades you would seriously want like the mechanical diff, better interior and upgraded brakes. Hell even rev matching is not in base. Let me guess, 46k minimum.
Pretty cool. I like that you highlighted the electronic versus hydraulic because timing is everything when you have complete control and drive ability. I've driven the new Toyota highlander and the brake assist on some of these newer cars are way too sensitive but you can still feel the engine trying to move forward while braking. I am interested to see how responsive or delayed pressing the brake would feel versus hydraulic on this type of suspension setup. 🤔
Ya I'd like to see how the whole car works. I'm not sure how the braking system is. There's a good chance it's a regular hydraulic system there with ABS. We'll have to see when it come out.
On Direct Injection engines, I recommend a Seafoam Spray treatment via the intake area every 10 K miles. Also install a oil catch can to catch oil vapors from going back to the intake. Some cars Direct Injection engines have a secondary set of fuel injectors before the intake valves thus preventing the carbon deposits/tar from building up.
@@stealthg35infiniti94 Yup looking into mics and sound cancelation foam for the walls. Keep in mind I'm dropping a lot of money all over the place and just need to get certain videos to market.
@@stealthg35infiniti94 Yeah. I dont think the vr30 is gonna have the secondary injectors tho. I wonder if using a snow kit and just running through a gallon or so will off set the carbon build up.
@@ShabbernigdoXingjian My research shows if you are proactive in Throttle Body/Manifold Injection cleaning as I mentioned before, you can keep the build up from happening. The problem is most people wait until the build up is severe, chemicals have little effect. Then your choice of walnut or soda blasting will be required. Prevention is cheaper than Correction. Anything that you put in the tank is useless in preventing crud buildup in the intake valves in an Direct Injection Engines without secondary injectors before the intake valves.
You could probably install an aftermarket one from Z1. You don't like anything about the car? What other car can you get new for the same money that does the same things and has a manual?

Glad to hear it served you well. I'm still not a fan of CVT though.

Yup, at 21:55 we discuss those points exactly.
Will 500 tq damage the power train and lead to repair costs?
@@AnthonyJ350 didn't make it quite that far.
@@cosmic_gate476 Depends how you drive it. If you roll into it, probably fine. If you're launching hard all the time, yes you'll wear parts out faster
@@TheOneTrueMvP Ah ok
Vielen Dank
Thanks for watching!

Yup working on getting the mic, had to put money in other areas of the house. I'm also looking into acoustic foam for the office.

It's also a true 3 litee and not 2998cc
Thanks for letting us know!
@@AnthonyJ350 A true 3 litre can take more torque. It will put out good numbers
Hi Anthony I have code p0327 knock sensor 1 circuit low input bank 1 . On my 350z is it hard job to install new knock sensor ?

@@AnthonyJ350 thanks,

If it's under $50K handles well and makes close to 400HP at the wheels on the duno reliably, it will still be a good deal for most people.
Yes peak torque from 1800 (or was it 1600?) To 5200. Gonna be wild
It's going to be interesting seeing the comparisons between the Z and the Supra.

The Di is the only thing that worries me about this car. I really want one but i really dont want to fuck with cleanin intake valves.
No choice, there's services like TeraClean that spray cleaner through the intake manifold. I had it done on my truck years ago and it worked well.

The c8 is a fake budget supercar lol, 60k on paper 120k in practice. No respect for GM
Thanks for the comment!
Sorry not paying 40k for a open read end
You could probably install an aftermarket one from Z1. You don't like anything about the car? What other car can you get new for the same money that does the same things and has a manual?
Or maybe when you order you can add the limited slip by special order.
