I still love mine, really want the Supra and sometimes think about trading the Z in BUT I remember BMW... the Supra is nice but since I plan on keeping my cars I can’t justify the maintenance on it/ depreciation. The Z hasn’t given me a single problem in almost 4 years of ownership just oil changes.
Z the best reliable sports car ever. Hoonigan proved it by drifting a stock motor z till the wheels pop.. and still no hiccups in the motor after .vq forlife
The Z stands the test of time. Analog gauges, 6 speed manual, naturally aspirated engine. More than enough horsepower for the owner to enjoy. It’s still my dream car.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Funny!!! Because I have Doug’s Z nismo video thumbnail below this video. The thumbnails and title are the same, but opposite. Genius!! 😂
As a mechanic, I have to say that when you really look into the spec and build of these Z’s they are well set-up. The engines are proven to be reliable (VQ37VHR), the 6 speed manual is a close ratio short shift with rev matching. It’s has all aluminium engine cradled in an aluminium engine subframe. All alloy double wishbone suspension, carbon tailshaft and decent quad and double piston Arkibono brakes from Japan - all good stuff. For an N/A v6 it’s not bad considering it’s always compared to V8s which it’s not. The Z’s handle well and provides some old school fun. Yes they are getting on in years but when you put it on a hoist you can see where the engineering is in these cars - they are well packaged and worth a look as a good second car. I also noticed they are still Made in Japan! Good to know!
Thanks for the comment! I would definitely agree with how they are designed it's a great car! A lot of fun to drive, reliable and so many options for tuning and mods!
I was considering a Kia Stinger but I do believe I would miss driving my red 2017 Nismo with a manual transmission. I get complimented on it all the time and still enjoy the thrill of this outdated driving machine!
The Z looks way modern than most 2020 cars today. If I want tech and safety stuff I’d buy a luxury. But I have a luxury car so a sports car like this is excellent
I'm still happy with my 2017 370z Nismo. Bought it new because I wanted the 75K warranty bumper to bumper. Which covers my stillen supercharger Stillen exhaust and Stillen oil cooler All dealer installed. Conservative tune 420 at the wheels. Daily driver. Nice review. Previously owned a 76 and a 77 280Z and a new 90 200 SX.
@Shenkosky I did pay a lot but have peace of mind. Nismo was 40K, supercharger, oil cooler and exhaust another 9k installed. 75K bumper to bumper warranty with gap insurance and free maintenance. All in around 50K so yeah close to the Vette.
I bought a white 2017 370Z Nismo about a week ago. It had less than 10k miles on it and was reasonably priced. I love driving it! For me, it is the funnest car I've ever owned.
I bought my 370z sport tech in 2018, 6 speed. I love driving it. It was my dream car since college (I’m an old fart) and finally I was able to buy it new. It’s one of a kind. Still get lots of looks. Love your videos man! Keep them up!
I don't understand why people always bash the 370z's technology? It's a car for driving, and it feels incredible to drive, so why would anyone need a high resolution touch screen or whatever. This car isn't aimed at the sort of people who complain about stuff like that :(
I Love my Z. I love the reason the Z cars exist. It's still a performance car that a mechanic from Ohio can afford and be proud of around cars that cost a lot more. Thanks Bros Fourr speed, Nissan and Mr.Katayama.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed i think the prices should go back up for the same reason a 20yr old supra hold 75k of value along with the rx7 on the rise and honda s2000 and gtr skyline
DRIVENDAILYZ S Thayll be interesting to see how they do in the next decade. I’d think a clean Nismo would hold some value. Because I’m sure the next gen Z will be in a price range with the Supra
Yeah you would think they would add some options or lower the price but they haven’t. They must sell well or something otherwise it doesn’t make sense as a business decision.
Just buy a used low mileage sport model that some old chuck babied for under 20k and put about 4-5k into it, you're already quite a bit better than a Nismo and you get brownie points for doing your own mods
Doug published his video on the same day I bought my 2017 370z Nismo, and I was yelling at the screen when he said those mistakes , lol nice you addressed it nice vid, but I'm biased, I also got mine for 30k and it had 15k miles
I'm so glad you posted this. I get so tired of people in the car community complaining about the 370z when they've never even owned or driven one. All the "long in the tooth" and "you could buy a Camaro or Mustang instead" comments don't make sense since the Z was never built to compete with those cars.
I just bought a 2016 Pearl White NISMO with 7800 miles on it. Not a scratch and still smells new. Story from the dealer was a couple had 4 cars. Husband bought it for his wife and it sat in the garage and they only drove it occasionally. I was looking all over for the right car. Carmax had some duds. Almost paid to have one shipped to South Carolina from Texas. My local Greenville SC Nissan dealer bought this from the couple who was looking to just sell it. Ended up getting it with and 6 year extended warranty for 30,500 out the door. I absolutely LOVE IT. I had a 2005 350z Anniversary edition my ex wife took when we got divorced. Yeah I could have got a Mustang or a Challenger or something. I have loved Z cars since the 70's and never could get one. For some reason the Z car just speaks to me over other sports cars.
Absolutely love the driving experience of my 2018 Nismo. It’s the experience - not the dull stats - that I’m looking for. Love the build quality and the old school approach on this car
5:25 I personally would rather analog gauges because they have a more timeless design imo. I don't know there's any benefits other than personal preference with digital gauges
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I think its required for new vehicles here by law. I have the 2014 sport touring coupe and the fog lights works. Also the empty buttons by the cup holders, are for heated seats on the sport coupe.
I inherited a little money and spoiled myself with a brand new 2016 370Z Nismo Tech.......with all the bells and whistles. Pearl white with racing flag decals.......absolutely beautiful! I just love its handling, power, and looks.....a real show-stopper. I can’t imagine being happier with a car than this one. With the sport suspension and tuned exhaust, this baby is glued to the road and the paddle-shifting 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission is flawless. This is a real driver’s car that handles like a 911 Porche at half the price. I wanted a Z since the 240 first came out, and I’m glad I waited for the 370.....it is spectacular.
I do believe 370z vehicles will skyrocket in price in about 10-15 years from now. Specially the nismo model. These cars still feel great and it’s a border between old tech and new tech of cars.
One thing I loved about Nissan products is the keyfob slot on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. That way if the keyfob's battery dies out, just insert it in the slot and it will start. I had a 2008 Altima 3.5 that had that and I kept inserting the keyfob in for months lol. I haven't seen any other car brand that has that feature.
I bought a 2012 370Z with 1400 miles on it 8 years ago and I have had no problems whatsoever. I love my Z and I like old school. I have auto trans and the paddle shifters are great. The only issue I have with my Z are the brakes.
I agree with you completely; the Nismo, new, at $47K is not a good value. At that price you might as well pony up a few more bucks and get a low-mileage Cayman S. However, at the $30K price range it is an excellent buy if what you want is a purpose-built sports car without unnecessary glitz. I bought a 2019 370Z sports coupe 6MT new for about $34K and think it is a great value for the kind of car I like to drive. The fact that these Zs don't have all the latest and greatest electronic gizmos with all kinds of high-tech driver assist technology is a plus to me. Aside from the good power and handling, the appearance of the car is one of the best IMO. My car is an all-black car with some of the bright metal trim badging blacked out that I had a multi-step paint correction done on with a ceramic coating. The deep wet glossy finish and the smooth curves and aggressive visage make this car turn heads often. It ticks all the right boxes for me.
I have a tuned Audi TTS that does 0-60 in about 4.4 sec, but honestly I test drove a Nismo and it was more connected and fun. Also, more fun to drive around town with the low end grunt. My Audi needs to be over 4K RPM to access the power. The steering in particular was soooo much better than my Audi steering. Performance numbers are overrated and only tell part of the story. 370z is a great fun for the money proposition used. Plus the Recaros are absolutely the best seats I have ever sat in. I actually put Recaro Sportster seats in my Audi after driving a Nismo. However, the Nismo Recaros have a softer base and are adjustable, so they are more comfortable than mine.
Oh nice! Yeah the Recaro seats are fantastic! Best seats ever! And I think the lack of the front diff is what makes the steering so nice for the Nismo. Check out a A90 Supra! Good blend of both cars! Mine makes 450/560 to the wheels FBO and tuned. Crazy fun and sharp handling!
He was also harsh on the 4Runner. People enjoy that the whole 4Runner is an old school SUV meant for off-roading and hauling. The only thing I wish it had was the v8 and transmission they use in the gx460.
370Z Nismo! I bought my 2018 370Z Nismo with 13K miles for $32K at the start of the pandemic, soooo... 🙂 Seriously considering a Stillen SC (tuned) for a stealth performance upgrade (I saw your review of the Stillen 370Z); did you notice if the extra power changed steering dynamics during spirited sporty driving? I live close to the Tail of the Dragon, so that's a definite "post-install" destination if we go that direction!
Oh sweet! The one I drove with the automatic didn't feel too fast to be honest. If yours in a manual it should be pretty sweet! Your car is worth some crazy money right now tho with everything. I've seen that the tuning from Stillen isnt so good. So make sure you have it professionally tuned and it should be a god bump up!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Ohhhh...I hadn't seen some of the online Stillen reviews (until you mentioned it). Hmmm...is there a better solution for drivability and power you might recommend? I like the linear power delivery of SC vs Turbo of course, but I think you probably did a ton of research on that already!
I drive a 2018 base 370Z with the Sport Package. It’s Chicane Yellow, but I got it vinyl wrapped in Avery Dennison Gloss Roaring Thunder. I get compliments on the car all the time. Yet Z cars are super common in Las Vegas. It’s really a great looking vehicle. Honestly if they just modernized the interior and bumped up the horsepower slightly Nissan could sell this car for another 10 years.
They don’t make red nismo after 2018 in USA which is my favorite color and finding a red manual is like only less than 5 if that in USA bit the look of the car will always be well designed or ageless design and fun factor 100 percent fun and eye catching every where I go just like the 1990 second generation 300zx twin turbo is still fun to drive with it’s ageless design
Lmfaoo love you guys this was definitely a shot at doug and it was very well deserved because he hated on the car, some things were fair game but tbh he has reviewed some Porsche cars that had similar issues and he just skipped right over them😂
I thumbed up just after hearing "THIS IS ...." entry of Doug. I couldn't be more disagree on Doug's video, so I end up coming here. I think this would be a relief for me.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thank you for this true video though... 2017 Pre-owned, ONLY 16800 Kilometers (not miles) which is a base model will cost me only $15k what a bargain!
I LOVE my 370z, and yes I bought it used because they are over priced new. But on the used market it’s a bargain. It still looks fantastic. I get so many positive comments from people everywhere I go. How many 10 year old car designs can do that? People assume it costs way more than it’s worth. A little girl in a parking lot said to her mom “I want that car when I grow up.” Pointing to my Z. I loved hearing that.
I'm looking at one in the UK. 2016 plate, less than 30000 miles on the clock at around £20,000. It's the 370z or a Toyota GT86 at about £20,000. Yes the car is getting a bit dated but you can pick up 2017 or 2018 model with very low mileage for £25,000 in the uk.
ua-cam.com/video/-kIfyWK5F_E/v-deo.html Here yah go!! Honestly they are all cheap to own. The GTR is actually easier to do the oil change on then the Z. Less bolts in the under tray. Both the Z and GTR can have an oil change for about $35 if you get oil on sale and DIY. GTR will be slightly more for brake pad and rotor replacements. Maybe an extra $1k over the Z. Transmission fluid and diff flush will be like $450 on the GTR vs around $250 on the Z. Every 35k miles. The Supra takes the most oil at 7 qts. So it'll cost maybe $80 for me to do it myself once the free toyota changes run out. But overall nothing outside the norm.
It's a sports car, all you really need is a manual and an infotainment delete. I don't know why companies put infotainment in sports cars. They're here for one purpose, to be driven hard, period. Too many people look at sports cars as dailies. Buy your nice sedan and suv, and beat on your sport car on the weekend or off days
I have a 2017 q60 red sport 400 awd it's full bolt on so it's definitely fast but I still miss my 370. My daughter has a ipl g37 coupe so I'll take her car every now and then. I miss rear wheel drive the q60 is my first awd car I have ever owned. I live in New England so on snowy days the awd is awesome.
Fact is, Z doesn't need super technologies in it. Z is a legacy and a "feeling". Honestly you're right, Nismo edition is a bit expensive. I've taken the Sport Edition (everything the same as a Nismo, still a few aesthetics making it different from standard version). I only wanted to correct you in all modesty, but actually depending on which distance/speed you're talking, automatic isn't the quickest. Each gearbox being manual or automatic has advantages and disavantages. If you have the chance, go do some pulls against other Zs to compare and you'll see. :)
370z have so much potential. If you can drive it properly, they'll put up easy flat 13s or high 12s on a drag strip. Theyre amazing for drifting. Great for turns. And once you start tuning with RZG, Z1, RsEnthalpy, LimpMode, or Saul and using GOOD bolt ons... you'll easily be taking out NA v8s. Plus you can always just save up 5k-12k and get a single or twin turbo kit and start destroying supercars.
With a Boosted Performance Twin Scroll Single Turbo kit, and you’d be able to take on most anything. If I’m not mistaken that kit out of the box will net you over 500whp/tq. A few mods later and your into 600 plus.
I couldn't resist just after watching Doug's video. Well played Bros. This video comes across as a 370z apologist video. That being said, i do appreciate the clarification on the spare tire. I remember C&D just torching the car because it couldn't compete in the lightning lap due to heat soak for the engine and massive fade in the brakes in warm up laps. This from the NISMO-take-all-comers version of the car. Hopefully, with the 400 coming and the divorce from Renault, things will be better going forward.
The Nismo 370Z really is a good step up from the normal one. I liked mine. Excited to see what the new 400Z has to offer! Looks like it'll have GTR brakes. So it should do well
My girlfriend had a 2014 A/T touring version, came with a one of a kind Stillen exhaust that made those pulls just sound so brutal! Shortly after we drove her home, bought some cheap eBay short rams w/ heat shields.. combined with the Stillen, really woke up the throttle response, improvement thru the entire rev band... the top end power was just day and night difference! The sound of the rev matching blips were eargasmic. I'm an owner of an E46 M3 myself & have to wholeheartedly admit the VQ37VHR is a beast of a V6.. those highway merge pulls were solid, even for being NA no FI not making 500+hp etc, it's absolutely stunning performance! Must get it pre-owned though for sure; we got hers for around $25k if I remember correctly, around 15k miles!! Not a Nismo, but still just... trust me, I drive perhaps the best ///M car BMW ever produced lets admit ;) get this car while you can for such a great price, pre-owned! That 3.7L has lots of potential; eventually go FI if desired & achieve GT-R performance in a Z body :D
The Recaro seats in the NISMO 370Z are AMAZING! Some of the best seats on the market, PERIOD. I’ve sat in and driven both generations of R8s, Huracan, 458, GT3, Evora 400, 4C Spider, etc. and they hold their own against all of them! Love this review! Great job, Bro!
Having issue with my recaro seat. Learned only the back is recaro and they are over 2k each. Dealer may have to replace drivers seat back material detaching.
4:25 bruh my 2009 Alfa Romeo has that feature too, and you can roll up the windows as well by keeping pressed the lock button And it was only $22,000 new
@@BrosFOURRSpeed because Alfa Romeo didn't export the MiTo and the Giulietta (respectively a 3-door little hatchback and a 5-door hatchback, and you can buy one of these two for under 25k dollars) in the US, but they exported them in Japan for some reason
I am curious if you have a opinion on the c6 corvette 430 hp 2008-2013 model ? it would be more in competition with the gtr I notice on the used car market prices it seems to be in line with the Nissan z car
joe Labandeira C6 is a cool car. But nowhere near GTR level performance. I’d say it’s in between a Z and GTR. Great car for the money too. Just not that nimble like a Z
People saying it's "dated" are like progressives: They think that _all_ change is good change. I think that they changed exactly what needed to be changed, and the changes they made would have been good changes regardless of year. What changes? Namely, the body styling. It's sharper and less rounded than the older 370z, which in my opinion takes it from a "really nice-looking sports car" to a head-turner on par with the modern Corvette Stingray. Not quite that cool, but in the same ballpark. More importantly, I LIKE analogue. I like the hydraulic steering. I _like_ the quaint LEDs and the driving-focused lack of tech. GOOD. I don't want my car telling me to stay in the lanes, telling me if I can still back up, or distracting me with ten different screens. Don't get me wrong, I love bells and whistles, but the types of bells and whistles these days are intrusive and disruptive. They don't enhance the driving experience, they _molest_ it with safety features that try to remove the skill and attentiveness. Get out of my way and let me drive! So for my money, this is _exactly_ the car I'd want to buy.
Yeah brand new makes no sense to buy. But on the used market for the $30k range is a great price! Very well worth it. But also, HP isn't everything. This car is decently quick, but offers a raw fun to drive experience.
As a 370z owner my self, I half agree with you on the car. I bought my Z Last December for 16k which was a 2009 base 370z with 58k miles. I was looking at used nismo but unfortunately all tbe nismo in my area weren't less than 35k. I couldn't justify financing 35k for a used nismo when there are better things to buy. Instead I figured I'll buy a older 370z (because frankly, 2009 and 2020 are identical) and with the extra 20k I would be saving, using that in upgrades would justify it for me. Nismo only makes 50hp more. Luckily mine came with a aftermarket exhaust, intakes, and a aftermarket radio. For half the price, I'm getting as much if not almost. Toss in some racing seats and a back up camera from Amazon (which I've bought) and only diffence between a used 370z and a nismoz is the body kit and Rev matching. Though, 370zs are still great coupes, regardless of which package, but only if their used :)
Eh not really. Toyota had just as much input as BMW. They co developed the B58 motor and the entire platform. Just made more sense to build it at BMW then create a whole new Toyota Plant. And the Supra smokes this Z in all performance tests. Would have been nice to get a manual tho. But the new Z will be some good competition!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I never said the BMW running gear was inadequate. I simply said that the Z is superior as it is a true Nissan product. Whereas the Supra is misrepresenting itself and for no reason as Toyota has sufficient rear drive cars in its lines up and the GTR is proof that an i6 isn’t necessarily a deal breaker. Some will argue production costs among other advantages like the Toyo/Suby 86.
Said $35,000 then "around 30 grand" that $5,000 difference may not mean much to you but for many it's night and day. Me personally if it were 30 I might lean to it over an STI but if it is in reality 35 I'd probably go with the 2020 STI
This car was $30k. Super low mileage ones are about 35k. Regardless, you can get a Nismo like this for $30k. Or a pre 2015 for mid 20s. Very affordable car
Dude the dodge twins are on a platform that's almost 20 years old. If you tweak the platform it doesn't matter how old it is my q60 is on this platform and it handles great.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yesss!! I’m so glad you made this video Doug really almost made me sway back to getting a better 350 to my current one. But now I know that the 370 is what I want. I love how you brought me back to wanting the 370 I appreciate it and love these videos you make.

And like he said, it(Ford Mustang GT) is a different kind of car.
Just buy a used low mileage sport model that some old chuck babied for under 20k and put about 4-5k into it, you're already quite a bit better than a Nismo and you get brownie points for doing your own mods
The thumbnail actually confused me, I was like, "Doug already did the 370Z Nismo"! 😂
Matthew Jett lol, mines a mirror image tho 😅
Lol same here I had to do a double take 😂
Doug published his video on the same day I bought my 2017 370z Nismo, and I was yelling at the screen when he said those mistakes , lol nice you addressed it nice vid, but I'm biased, I also got mine for 30k and it had 15k miles
I'm so glad you posted this. I get so tired of people in the car community complaining about the 370z when they've never even owned or driven one. All the "long in the tooth" and "you could buy a Camaro or Mustang instead" comments don't make sense since the Z was never built to compete with those cars.
Yeah the Z is something special and offers something completely different then anything else.
I just bought a 2016 Pearl White NISMO with 7800 miles on it. Not a scratch and still smells new. Story from the dealer was a couple had 4 cars. Husband bought it for his wife and it sat in the garage and they only drove it occasionally. I was looking all over for the right car. Carmax had some duds. Almost paid to have one shipped to South Carolina from Texas. My local Greenville SC Nissan dealer bought this from the couple who was looking to just sell it. Ended up getting it with and 6 year extended warranty for 30,500 out the door. I absolutely LOVE IT. I had a 2005 350z Anniversary edition my ex wife took when we got divorced. Yeah I could have got a Mustang or a Challenger or something. I have loved Z cars since the 70's and never could get one. For some reason the Z car just speaks to me over other sports cars.
Thats a heck of a deal!! Congrats!
Doug is a dork. Who cares if Doug thinks it’s outdated, I think he’s outdated. I love all those z cars..
lol man. I do love his vids tho. But this was a fun opportunity to mimic his style of vid!
Right?😂 i feel the same about him! Frat boy into current tech and bmw😂
Well doug usually review more expensive cars.. he's spoiled.
I bought a 370z today. So excited. It’s a white MY13. It’s only done 60,000 Km so a very low mileage car. Can’t wait to get to know it.
Sweet! Very fun car for sure! I loved mine!
Absolutely love the driving experience of my 2018 Nismo. It’s the experience - not the dull stats - that I’m looking for. Love the build quality and the old school approach on this car
So true! Great car overall and the Nismo trim especially makes this a special car!
How cars should be. Tech is nothing but future trouble
Blake Very true. Unfortunately cars are really being marketed for the tech they offer rather then engaging driving characteristics
I'd rather roll my windows down by hand Tbh. Couldn't agree more
5:25 I personally would rather analog gauges because they have a more timeless design imo. I don't know there's any benefits other than personal preference with digital gauges
The Canadian version, the rear fog lights work.
Also has voice control.
Oh wow! No clue why ours just has a fake light lol
@@BrosFOURRSpeed
I think its required for new vehicles here by law. I have the 2014 sport touring coupe and the fog lights works. Also the empty buttons by the cup holders, are for heated seats on the sport coupe.
I inherited a little money and spoiled myself with a brand new 2016 370Z Nismo Tech.......with all the bells and whistles. Pearl white with racing flag decals.......absolutely beautiful! I just love its handling, power, and looks.....a real show-stopper. I can’t imagine being happier with a car than this one. With the sport suspension and tuned exhaust, this baby is glued to the road and the paddle-shifting 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission is flawless. This is a real driver’s car that handles like a 911 Porche at half the price. I wanted a Z since the 240 first came out, and I’m glad I waited for the 370.....it is spectacular.
I do believe 370z vehicles will skyrocket in price in about 10-15 years from now. Specially the nismo model. These cars still feel great and it’s a border between old tech and new tech of cars.
I can see them holding strong for the Nismo. If I still had my 2016 Nismo, it'd still be worth what I sold it for 6 years ago
One thing I loved about Nissan products is the keyfob slot on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. That way if the keyfob's battery dies out, just insert it in the slot and it will start. I had a 2008 Altima 3.5 that had that and I kept inserting the keyfob in for months lol. I haven't seen any other car brand that has that feature.
Yeah that is pretty nice! A few other cars have that feature. A lot of times it's in the glove box or center console
Liked before I even watch.
Fairlady 370Z haha nice!
I bought a 2012 370Z with 1400 miles on it 8 years ago and I have had no problems whatsoever. I love my Z and I like old school. I have auto trans and the paddle shifters are great. The only issue I have with my Z are the brakes.
I agree with you completely; the Nismo, new, at $47K is not a good value. At that price you might as well pony up a few more bucks and get a low-mileage Cayman S. However, at the $30K price range it is an excellent buy if what you want is a purpose-built sports car without unnecessary glitz. I bought a 2019 370Z sports coupe 6MT new for about $34K and think it is a great value for the kind of car I like to drive. The fact that these Zs don't have all the latest and greatest electronic gizmos with all kinds of high-tech driver assist technology is a plus to me. Aside from the good power and handling, the appearance of the car is one of the best IMO. My car is an all-black car with some of the bright metal trim badging blacked out that I had a multi-step paint correction done on with a ceramic coating. The deep wet glossy finish and the smooth curves and aggressive visage make this car turn heads often. It ticks all the right boxes for me.
I have a tuned Audi TTS that does 0-60 in about 4.4 sec, but honestly I test drove a Nismo and it was more connected and fun. Also, more fun to drive around town with the low end grunt. My Audi needs to be over 4K RPM to access the power. The steering in particular was soooo much better than my Audi steering. Performance numbers are overrated and only tell part of the story. 370z is a great fun for the money proposition used. Plus the Recaros are absolutely the best seats I have ever sat in. I actually put Recaro Sportster seats in my Audi after driving a Nismo. However, the Nismo Recaros have a softer base and are adjustable, so they are more comfortable than mine.
Oh nice! Yeah the Recaro seats are fantastic! Best seats ever! And I think the lack of the front diff is what makes the steering so nice for the Nismo. Check out a A90 Supra! Good blend of both cars! Mine makes 450/560 to the wheels FBO and tuned. Crazy fun and sharp handling!
I agree! Doug was WAY TOO HARSH...
He was also harsh on the 4Runner. People enjoy that the whole 4Runner is an old school SUV meant for off-roading and hauling. The only thing I wish it had was the v8 and transmission they use in the gx460.
370Z Nismo! I bought my 2018 370Z Nismo with 13K miles for $32K at the start of the pandemic, soooo... 🙂 Seriously considering a Stillen SC (tuned) for a stealth performance upgrade (I saw your review of the Stillen 370Z); did you notice if the extra power changed steering dynamics during spirited sporty driving? I live close to the Tail of the Dragon, so that's a definite "post-install" destination if we go that direction!
Oh sweet! The one I drove with the automatic didn't feel too fast to be honest. If yours in a manual it should be pretty sweet! Your car is worth some crazy money right now tho with everything. I've seen that the tuning from Stillen isnt so good. So make sure you have it professionally tuned and it should be a god bump up!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Ohhhh...I hadn't seen some of the online Stillen reviews (until you mentioned it). Hmmm...is there a better solution for drivability and power you might recommend? I like the linear power delivery of SC vs Turbo of course, but I think you probably did a ton of research on that already!
I drive a 2018 base 370Z with the Sport Package. It’s Chicane Yellow, but I got it vinyl wrapped in Avery Dennison Gloss Roaring Thunder. I get compliments on the car all the time. Yet Z cars are super common in Las Vegas. It’s really a great looking vehicle. Honestly if they just modernized the interior and bumped up the horsepower slightly Nissan could sell this car for another 10 years.
Yeah hopefully they come out with a new one. It has so much to offer, I think they can make a good modern version
45K you can get a second hand c7 stingray!!!
They don’t make red nismo after 2018 in USA which is my favorite color and finding a red manual is like only less than 5 if that in USA bit the look of the car will always be well designed or ageless design and fun factor 100 percent fun and eye catching every where I go just like the 1990 second generation 300zx twin turbo is still fun to drive with it’s ageless design
yep, i was looking pretty hard to get mine....red 2018 manual :)
Lmfaoo love you guys this was definitely a shot at doug and it was very well deserved because he hated on the car, some things were fair game but tbh he has reviewed some Porsche cars that had similar issues and he just skipped right over them😂
forte creed lol nothing against Doug. I love his vids 👌🏼. But had to call him out on a car I know so well 😅
I thumbed up just after hearing "THIS IS ...." entry of Doug. I couldn't be more disagree on Doug's video, so I end up coming here. I think this would be a relief for me.
lol glad you liked the video! Being a previous Z one, figured I had to make a vid on the car after his review!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thank you for this true video though... 2017 Pre-owned, ONLY 16800 Kilometers (not miles) which is a base model will cost me only $15k what a bargain!
Excellent review I agree! Here are some other similar cars that he couldn't think of:
Subaru BRZ
Fiat 124 Spider
Infiniti Q60
Mazda Miata
BMW 2 series
Glad you liked it! Miata and 2 series are defiantly nice for this price point
He forgot the Miata 😓☹️
I LOVE my 370z, and yes I bought it used because they are over priced new. But on the used market it’s a bargain. It still looks fantastic. I get so many positive comments from people everywhere I go. How many 10 year old car designs can do that? People assume it costs way more than it’s worth. A little girl in a parking lot said to her mom “I want that car when I grow up.” Pointing to my Z. I loved hearing that.
Chris Smith Exactly! Super reliable and fun, and still looks good!
I'm looking at one in the UK. 2016 plate, less than 30000 miles on the clock at around £20,000. It's the 370z or a Toyota GT86 at about £20,000.
Yes the car is getting a bit dated but you can pick up 2017 or 2018 model with very low mileage for £25,000 in the uk.
Can you comment on maintenance costs of Supra, vs GTR vs 370z? I suspect the 370z is very low maintenance vs the other 2.
ua-cam.com/video/-kIfyWK5F_E/v-deo.html
Here yah go!! Honestly they are all cheap to own. The GTR is actually easier to do the oil change on then the Z. Less bolts in the under tray. Both the Z and GTR can have an oil change for about $35 if you get oil on sale and DIY. GTR will be slightly more for brake pad and rotor replacements. Maybe an extra $1k over the Z. Transmission fluid and diff flush will be like $450 on the GTR vs around $250 on the Z. Every 35k miles.
The Supra takes the most oil at 7 qts. So it'll cost maybe $80 for me to do it myself once the free toyota changes run out. But overall nothing outside the norm.
I find myself watching your 370z videos 3-4 times over lol. I absolutely love it.
It's a sports car, all you really need is a manual and an infotainment delete. I don't know why companies put infotainment in sports cars. They're here for one purpose, to be driven hard, period. Too many people look at sports cars as dailies. Buy your nice sedan and suv, and beat on your sport car on the weekend or off days
Bross four speed, look at me man! Im back, the Supra hater, 😂😂 thank you for making this video. It is absolutely excellent lol!
Glad you enjoyed the Nismo 370Z video! Fun car. But it's no Supra... ;)
I like how the type of video is pretty similar to doug demuro's
That was the point lol
Doug DeMuro is typing...
haha I wish he saw this ;)
Doug is the type of guy who reads owner's manuals to his children for bedtime stories.
He probably will lol
I just got a white 2016 370z nismo w/ 9k mi on it and I’m pretty happy lol
I have a 2017 q60 red sport 400 awd it's full bolt on so it's definitely fast but I still miss my 370. My daughter has a ipl g37 coupe so I'll take her car every now and then. I miss rear wheel drive the q60 is my first awd car I have ever owned. I live in New England so on snowy days the awd is awesome.
Fact is, Z doesn't need super technologies in it. Z is a legacy and a "feeling". Honestly you're right, Nismo edition is a bit expensive. I've taken the Sport Edition (everything the same as a Nismo, still a few aesthetics making it different from standard version).
I only wanted to correct you in all modesty, but actually depending on which distance/speed you're talking, automatic isn't the quickest. Each gearbox being manual or automatic has advantages and disavantages. If you have the chance, go do some pulls against other Zs to compare and you'll see. :)
370z have so much potential. If you can drive it properly, they'll put up easy flat 13s or high 12s on a drag strip. Theyre amazing for drifting. Great for turns. And once you start tuning with RZG, Z1, RsEnthalpy, LimpMode, or Saul and using GOOD bolt ons... you'll easily be taking out NA v8s. Plus you can always just save up 5k-12k and get a single or twin turbo kit and start destroying supercars.
Z is beauty
that cool window feature is also on the 350z for anyone that didn’t know
Doug demuro
With a Boosted Performance Twin Scroll Single Turbo kit, and you’d be able to take on most anything. If I’m not mistaken that kit out of the box will net you over 500whp/tq. A few mods later and your into 600 plus.
Titan Yeah a single turbo is a great way to get on par with modern cars. A turbo Z is a ton of fun!
Bros FOURR Speed if I go back into a Z, I’m going Boosted Performance Turbo with UpRev Tune.
Titan Same with me!
Are you getting that new 2023 A91-mt supra?
At some point I'd like to! Currently waiting on my new Z. Then I'll trade that for the Nismo version. They possible get the manual Supra after that
I couldn't resist just after watching Doug's video. Well played Bros. This video comes across as a 370z apologist video. That being said, i do appreciate the clarification on the spare tire. I remember C&D just torching the car because it couldn't compete in the lightning lap due to heat soak for the engine and massive fade in the brakes in warm up laps. This from the NISMO-take-all-comers version of the car. Hopefully, with the 400 coming and the divorce from Renault, things will be better going forward.
The Nismo 370Z really is a good step up from the normal one. I liked mine. Excited to see what the new 400Z has to offer! Looks like it'll have GTR brakes. So it should do well
8:15 he revs the engine up a bit and hears the awesome exhaust and giggles
Gotta love that VQ sound!
My girlfriend had a 2014 A/T touring version, came with a one of a kind Stillen exhaust that made those pulls just sound so brutal! Shortly after we drove her home, bought some cheap eBay short rams w/ heat shields.. combined with the Stillen, really woke up the throttle response, improvement thru the entire rev band... the top end power was just day and night difference! The sound of the rev matching blips were eargasmic.
I'm an owner of an E46 M3 myself & have to wholeheartedly admit the VQ37VHR is a beast of a V6.. those highway merge pulls were solid, even for being NA no FI not making 500+hp etc, it's absolutely stunning performance! Must get it pre-owned though for sure; we got hers for around $25k if I remember correctly, around 15k miles!! Not a Nismo, but still just... trust me, I drive perhaps the best ///M car BMW ever produced lets admit ;) get this car while you can for such a great price, pre-owned! That 3.7L has lots of potential; eventually go FI if desired & achieve GT-R performance in a Z body :D
The Recaro seats in the NISMO 370Z are AMAZING! Some of the best seats on the market, PERIOD. I’ve sat in and driven both generations of R8s, Huracan, 458, GT3, Evora 400, 4C Spider, etc. and they hold their own against all of them! Love this review! Great job, Bro!
Eliot Spencer Glad you liked it! These are definitely amazing seats. GT3 I’d say are the closest ones to them
Having issue with my recaro seat. Learned only the back is recaro and they are over 2k each. Dealer may have to replace drivers seat back material detaching.
This is an amazing replication of Doug Demuro. He’d flatter if he seen this. XD.
lol It'd be cool if he saw this vid! So many people commented on my vids once Doug made his Z video. Had to make this!
4:25 bruh my 2009 Alfa Romeo has that feature too, and you can roll up the windows as well by keeping pressed the lock button
And it was only $22,000 new
Sebb Very cool! What country are you in?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I'm in Italy!
Sebb Oh cool! We don’t have any Alfa’s in that price range lol
My 2017 Honda Civic ex hatch has this feature..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed because Alfa Romeo didn't export the MiTo and the Giulietta (respectively a 3-door little hatchback and a 5-door hatchback, and you can buy one of these two for under 25k dollars) in the US, but they exported them in Japan for some reason
You got to really like this car to consider it. I agree used values are better deals, but there are more modern sport cars around this price.
I dont care if is outdated, the looks is unique and i love it🔥💪🏼
Heck yeah! The Nismo is a really fun car to drive!
The base/sport Z is a great buy, you practically get 90% of what the Nismo is. You just miss out on the recaro’s, suspension, exhaust and body kit.
I am curious if you have a opinion on the c6 corvette 430 hp 2008-2013 model ? it would be more in competition with the gtr I notice on the used car market prices it seems to be in line with the Nissan z car

joe Labandeira C6 is a cool car. But nowhere near GTR level performance. I’d say it’s in between a Z and GTR. Great car for the money too. Just not that nimble like a Z
Got my 370Z for less than $20k and I love it!
Exactly best value on the market.....some people just don't understand.
I love driving mine
Heck yeah! The Nismo 370Z is such a cool car!
Such a good looking Z and it sounds great. Loved the Demuro intro. Good video Brian!
David Nilles Glad you liked it!
People saying it's "dated" are like progressives: They think that _all_ change is good change. I think that they changed exactly what needed to be changed, and the changes they made would have been good changes regardless of year. What changes?
Namely, the body styling. It's sharper and less rounded than the older 370z, which in my opinion takes it from a "really nice-looking sports car" to a head-turner on par with the modern Corvette Stingray. Not quite that cool, but in the same ballpark.
More importantly, I LIKE analogue. I like the hydraulic steering. I _like_ the quaint LEDs and the driving-focused lack of tech. GOOD. I don't want my car telling me to stay in the lanes, telling me if I can still back up, or distracting me with ten different screens.
Don't get me wrong, I love bells and whistles, but the types of bells and whistles these days are intrusive and disruptive. They don't enhance the driving experience, they _molest_ it with safety features that try to remove the skill and attentiveness. Get out of my way and let me drive!
So for my money, this is _exactly_ the car I'd want to buy.
It IS overpriced tho. 40k for 300 horses just doesn’t make sense. The whole appeal is the fact the car is damn sexy tho.. 🥲
Yeah brand new makes no sense to buy. But on the used market for the $30k range is a great price! Very well worth it. But also, HP isn't everything. This car is decently quick, but offers a raw fun to drive experience.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yea I agree it isn’t everything! Less horsepower better chances of not getting into trouble as well lol
As a 370z owner my self, I half agree with you on the car. I bought my Z Last December for 16k which was a 2009 base 370z with 58k miles. I was looking at used nismo but unfortunately all tbe nismo in my area weren't less than 35k. I couldn't justify financing 35k for a used nismo when there are better things to buy. Instead I figured I'll buy a older 370z (because frankly, 2009 and 2020 are identical) and with the extra 20k I would be saving, using that in upgrades would justify it for me. Nismo only makes 50hp more. Luckily mine came with a aftermarket exhaust, intakes, and a aftermarket radio. For half the price, I'm getting as much if not almost. Toss in some racing seats and a back up camera from Amazon (which I've bought) and only diffence between a used 370z and a nismoz is the body kit and Rev matching. Though, 370zs are still great coupes, regardless of which package, but only if their used :)
Oh and, keep up the good work, been watching since the nismo days, really pushed me to get a Z when I was in the market!
Shrey Purani Thanks man! Looks like you got a lot of value with your car!
To be fair you have an open diff instead of VSLD though.
to disappoint you, 2009 and 2020 are not identical. Lot of improvements and revisions have been done during the 10 years....
Nismo should have come with the Stillen supercharger kit preinstalled at that price point
That’d be pretty insane! Hopefully the next gen has the twin turbo
For a second there I thought you were Doug Demuro haha!
Haha yeah! I had tons of comments about his video and what I thought since I owned a few Z's, so had to do something similar!
He has spoken against our car god doug. GET HIM!!
Anything over 20k and that's pushing it is too much a 370z. I loved my Z but I don't see value pass 20k for a low mileage Z
How many miles did your nismo have when you bought it?
I think it was like 6k or 8k. Sold it with 12k
USA are getting ripped off. Cheapest £19,000 for 2015 onward Nismo in UK. Thats around $25k
I'll take the 370 since it's an actual Nissan, the Supra is just a rebadged BMW product and if I wanted a BMW I would just get one.
Eh not really. Toyota had just as much input as BMW. They co developed the B58 motor and the entire platform. Just made more sense to build it at BMW then create a whole new Toyota Plant. And the Supra smokes this Z in all performance tests. Would have been nice to get a manual tho. But the new Z will be some good competition!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I never said the BMW running gear was inadequate. I simply said that the Z is superior as it is a true Nissan product. Whereas the Supra is misrepresenting itself and for no reason as Toyota has sufficient rear drive cars in its lines up and the GTR is proof that an i6 isn’t necessarily a deal breaker. Some will argue production costs among other advantages like the Toyo/Suby 86.
Thank you for making this. Fuken Doug bashed on this car way to much.
Because IT IS a outdated PIECE A SHIT wanna be GTR fake ass nismo.
Doug the type of....wait this ain’t right. This guy isn’t wearing two shirts and cargos 😂
Sean Pittacora Haha dang. I should have!
This car is one thousand times better than a veloster, unbelievable that Doug would spit this BS about it.
Did he really compare this to a Hyundai Veloster? That's just a basic economy car lol. Nismo Z is actually a sportscar that is fun to drive. wow
What are the differences between the V1 nismo and 15+ nismo models?
Recaro seats and body kit are the main differences. The seats alone and how tight the new Nismo feels make it worth every penny in my mind.
Said $35,000 then "around 30 grand" that $5,000 difference may not mean much to you but for many it's night and day. Me personally if it were 30 I might lean to it over an STI but if it is in reality 35 I'd probably go with the 2020 STI
This car was $30k. Super low mileage ones are about 35k. Regardless, you can get a Nismo like this for $30k. Or a pre 2015 for mid 20s. Very affordable car
Same platform since 09. Def outdated.
spectrum870 For sure. But the mechanical feeling can’t be beat
Dude the dodge twins are on a platform that's almost 20 years old. If you tweak the platform it doesn't matter how old it is my q60 is on this platform and it handles great.
they say:Don't fix whats not broken...
Guess I should have bought one used 4 years ago, cuz now, in 2024, you ain't buying nothing but a high mileage 4 owner beat nismo for under 30k.
For real! I could have kept my 2016 Nismo I had and it would still be worth more then I paid 6 years later
I want a 370
Make it happen! The 370Z Nismo is a really fun car!
So did you buy a Supra Z4 clone or a GTR?
I have both! I've had my GTR almost 4 years now, and bought a Supra last year!
If only they were still 30k-35k…😢
I know right! They have held their value pretty well!
Idc anymore, my dream is to have a 370 and buy a tomei for it.
It's an awesome car, I'd recommend it all day!! That will give it a great sound too!!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yesss!! I’m so glad you made this video Doug really almost made me sway back to getting a better 350 to my current one. But now I know that the 370 is what I want. I love how you brought me back to wanting the 370 I appreciate it and love these videos you make.
He forgot the ‘Thissssssss’
