The upcoming 2023 Nissan Z brings a 3.0L Twin Turbo V6 making 400 horsepower, RWD and either a 9 speed auto or a 6 speed manual! The 7th generation of the Z platform is now just called the "Z" and will be available spring of this year! I am very excited about this upcoming JDM sportscar, especially because it can be optioned with a manual transmission. We did get to check out the Z Proto in a studio in the past, but here is a production intent 2023 Z finished in Boulder Gray Pearl paint. I personally have quite a bit of interest in the upcoming Z and absolutely would consider owning one. It would definitely be a very different experience from my current cars!

There are very few new sportscars being offered with a manual transmission. the 2023 Nissan Z will be one of them! Can't wait to drive one of these and hopefully own one too!
The rear three quarter view of this thing is beautiful. Hope they drive as cool as they look! The interiors also look really unique. Super excited to see these come out!
I’m really looking forward to driving one!!
They retuned the suspension even though it has the 370z platform.
I love this front grill now, I didn't like it first but now its growing on me and I see a SHARK in it from certain angles. Maybe its just me, but I definitely see some character in it.
I would add a 3” stripe going across the doors and bumpers stopping at the edge of the front corner crease that looks like an intake. That would add more shape.
Took delivery of a brand new black over orange 2003 Nissan 350Z Touring back in August 2002. If you would have told me in 20 years (almost exactly) the 2023 Nissan Z would still use some the same door handles, window switches, and identical heated seat buttons that is built on the same basic structure as the 350Z I wouldn’t have ever believed you 😂
Haha that’s crazy. Not quite as bad but my 2018 GT350R has the same cheap plastic center dome light and buttons as my old 2012 boss 302. It’s amusing what parts get carried through generations
precisely why i'm not sold on it, i don't think it's going to excite new buyers. the older cats like myself that remember the 280's and 300's will appreciate the styling but it won't resonate with young buyers i don't believe
If parts are being carried over, than that means more parts to be able to find and less money to pay for them... that's a good thing.
I get what you're saying, but a lot of the "carry over" parts come right out of the bulk parts bin at the Nissan factory that all of their cars use. This makes the cars cheaper to produce. You definitely would not want custom parts all over your Z.
The looks have grown on me substantially. It looks amazing in that silver.
Nice. The color you like is called Boulder gray
Love the hints of retro styling
Me too!
I love how it isn't gaudy and overstyled like the supra. Can't wait to drive one.
Same here!
This
Well said. Supra is like the kid in high school that tries too hard to look cool.
Getting 6MT Performance in Gun Metallic with that red interior ASAP 😍
I haven't been this excited about an attainable sports car in a long time!
I am eager to see these in showrooms and be able to test drive. Need to replace my daily soon (V8 S5) and am looking at a few options for new daily duties. Right now, the new m240 and this new Z are at the top. I'm curious about the 9 speed auto and how good, or bad it will be. Kinda want an auto for the next daily. Appreciate the videos as always Eddie!
Dude i’m in the same boat i’m ready to see how the 9 speed automatic looks like and how it performs
@@fahedal-hashem7584 it's gonna look the same as manual lol
goodluck. they will sell out
I have a m240i on order but I was going back and forth with the z and m240i as well.
Dealers will mark this up so much, that it won’t be a bargain. To pay over 50k and you don’t want the manual, I think the new M240i is superior.
Nicer tech , b58 engine with ZF transmission is hard to beat.
I was just at the airshow and I was able to get up close to it. It is such a beautiful car in person. Love it!
It’s actually automatic adjustable seating on the other side of the seat, the lumber controls you see facing out are for lumber support
rear end looks very old school! I like it!
Eddy: “The price is really good”
Eddy: “starting at 40k”
Me a 23 year old college student that makes 25 a year : 🥲🥲🥲🥲 one day …
I was there at one point in college too! Keep working hard. New cars are certainly really expensive, I just meant for what you get with the Z in todays car market is quite good for the money!
@@EddieX appreciate it eddy means a lot ! I’ll do my best 👍🎉
Me to I’m 23 years old going to college for a bachelors degree in computer science and a certification in advance web development 😂 if you get your class A driver license you can make good money and still go to school because that’s what I’m doing now but I have night classes and online
right here with you man. it sucks.
Really like that they kept the front end sleek. No fake vents or over done fog lights.
Agreed
Good luck with the dealer mark ups.
I can’t wait to try this car out I have a 350z myself great car 🙌🏾🔥 I hope they make a nismo version of this that will make 450 HP
They will, and at least 450 bhp. It's very easy to get more hp out of the VR30. A simple tune alone takes it to almost 500.
Im here still loving my 2016 manual honda fit😭
The interior took ALOT of parts/design from both the 350z and 370z. If they would have created a new cabin template, I'd be all in. (previous 350 and current 370 owner). I do give Nissan props for bringing the electronics up to par.
A salesman at my local Nissan said they may not get one in the showroom until summer, and all locations here in MN will only get one each to start.
I really love this looks like a 300ZX and not like the 350Z. This is a definate future classic because it already looks like one.
The 350 and 370 looked too short and round that always reminded me of VW Beetles, but this looks longer and sleeker and overall really beautiful. The 300ZX has always been one of my favorite cars.
This car combined all the looks of the previous Zs, including the 240Z. I see the least resemblance to the 300ZX tbh. I see the 240 and 350/370's resemblance the most.
I agree! This will age a lot better than the 350. While the 370 is better than the 350 it still has that egg shape. It isn't until you get the 370z nismo that it looks great.
This New z will hands down age beautifully.
Looks promising. Seems like a real upcoming street killer. Love the styling. It is a real vision of the past, with nice HP numbers. 🙏
As someone who already has a deposit down to get a Z this spring, I do feel like the interior is definitely lacking. Especially considering the type of interior a Hyundai Elantra N offers for 10k less. The plastics already look cheap, there's glossy black plastic on the worst possible surfaces (steering wheel, shifter, start button, auto rev match, infotainment, all the surfaces that you interact with basically), outside of some strips of leather there's not much breaking up the monotony of cheap hard plastics.
I know people who own older Z's are probably plenty happy with the obvious upgrade with the interior, but compared to relevant competition it does fall short.
All that being said, you don't buy a dedicated sports car for it's interior, but it does factor into the decision when you're looking to realistically spend 50K~ on a new car.
I call BS.... how do you have one ordered?
@@Mickeyt57 he’s bs, I was told by people that work at headquarters that the Z was not going to be able for pre-order. The only way to have a better chance of purchasing one would be to go to your local dealer and give them your info and hopefully they call you.
@@Mickeyt57 I have connections to someone who owns multiple dealerships, one being a Nissan dealership. So yes, for most folks in the US the deposits they put down on Z's are complete BS and the dealerships can absolutely screw those people if they so choose.
It pays to know people.
Usually, people with many significant connections do not have time to comment and argue over trivial matter in UA-cam comment section. So, most likely bs.
People nowadays always complaining about trivial matters,if you don't like the interior or inside design just changed it.
It's got a lot of new with hints of retro. Gotta love it
that rear end is classic and new at the same time im not going to lie nissan did they thing with this one
Those fairlady z badges mmm *chefs kiss*
I have a 2017 Q60 with some bolt-ons & a JB4. It’s a fun car but I wish it had a manual.
I’m hyped for the new Z!
I hope it will exceed my expectations
This is a possible future car I love my JDM and this car has so much nostalgia behind it 🔥
Can't wait to get this!!!! Clear wrap and an upgraded security system is all ill do
I'm the same size as you, and the other Zs didnt didn't do it for me either. The retro design 👌.
I like this car. The steering seems to not have thicker bolstering but that’s fine with me. Hard to choose which color I want. Although I am waiting for the Nismo version. Good job Nissan.
This is what tuners want. No fake vents. It could probably be tuned up to 500 easy.
I want one! I like the nardo grey on red. Can’t wait to see head to head with manual Supra!
Thanks, Eddie for producing a fun and informative video. The rest of my UA-cam channel is packed with gloom, doom and war.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A 1996 300Z twin turbo was $40,000. I bought a 2003 350Z off the showroom floor right when it came out. It was Daytona Blue in Enthusiast trim and it was $30,000. So, for a 2023 twin turbo 400Z starting at $40,000 seems like a solid bargain for what you get
Looking at how basically any entry level sedan costs 30k now I actually think that a 40k price tag is not bad.
Still don't like the grill but you can always modify it. Everything else looks great.
Interior is same as my 2016, with a couple changes. Opportunity missed to do some really cool things
Absolutely*
Am glad they put a manual hand break
the more i look at it, the more i love it
My 04 Z has problem with engine oil leak, it get smoky under the hood. I sold it to my mechanic. This new Z looks so nice wish I can afford it.
The thought that anyone will find a manual version of this when released for MSRP is laughable
Trying to get a Toyota 86 with a manual is hard, can’t imagine trying to get one of these with one, let alone at msrp like you said. Dealers told me end of 2022 early 2023 before they see them
Best color imo, I would def get it in this
Can't lie, that's a really looking car
If Nissan offers that Fairlady Z Customized Z Proto that they showed in Tokyo in orange then I would get this car over just about anything.
Dealers won’t sell this car any where near 40k.
Base model will be marked up to atleast 50k
Performance models 60k
The Nismo Edition will be the one to wait for in my opnion!
Hats off to Nissan for doing it right.. UNLIKE Toyota who got lazy and decided to rebrand the Z4 as a "supra".
As you all know the supra shares a platform with the Z4. I want to reveal that the Z shares 100% of the oxygen on earth with Mercedes.
If the interior shape is roughly the same shape as the 370Z, then that windows behind the B pillar can only be used without a passenger. Everyone complains because when its just me driving, i move the passenger seat forward to see through the window
I'm glad they didn't call it the 400Z because it only has a 3.0L engine. So, I like how it's just called the Z.
Love the roof line and the taillights. Reminds me of the good old days in the 1970's. I only wish Nissan would go back to an in-line six cylinder, I don't care about 400 HP and 350 ft lb of torque, I just like simple things. I also wish Nissan would come out with a baby Z with an in-line dour cylinder, now a days they can get some very impressive numbers out of a four cylinder. What I can't see is the $40,000 price tag.
You can’t see the 40k because it’s under the hood
Twine turbos for $40k that's cheap
@@Sinbadness A v-6 even with twin turbos is NOT worth a $40,000.00 base price.
@@MrSalty-eg4zb Not in my eyes. It's still a V-6. Even with twin turbos is't NOT worth near a $40,000.00 base price. Anybody can but a V-6 car and add a superchrger to it for $400 or $500 and have near same effect.
@@genegoodwin8925 a supercharger for $500? Are you on crack? 🤣
Interior looks so luxurious. 👌
I like it with just the Z without the 400 adds to it. It makes the car look more stylish. I think.
Is there any more leg room in the new car, I feel these vehicles are tailored to short slim built people. I could barley fit into the older model and shifting and driving was compromised by the tight fitting cox pit.
I’m 6’3” and am pretty comfortable in it
You really liked the car , I can tell from you reviews. Good one
Unlike Eddie, I owned a 280ZX Turbo, and the new Z's styling unlike the 350, 370, harken back to that. I just hope I am not disappointed by the interior plastics. The steering wheel looks awesome but I wish the window switches and door latch were updated.
Arent you concerned about the reliability of the new Z? Genuine question. A Infiniti tech that I know of has said that the VR30 is easily the most unreliable Nissan engine made right now
Not particularly. new car would be under warranty. and the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for upgrades if I got that route.
What kind of problems does he say they have?
@@JM-nz8gw Turbos suck and no telling when they will give out in some cases turbos blow out at like 15k miles but most of them are blown at like 60-80k. The block itself has a lot of issue too. Burning oil at like 50k miles, piston rings are absolutely trashed which was never an issue since the VQDE. Coolant issues too. This is all I remember from one of his TikTok videos and all of these issues are solely from his experience with the VR30 thats in the Q50 Red Sport. Since the VR30 is going to be revised for the Nissan Z, I dont know if these issues are still going to exist
Only known issues on the vr is serpentine belt tearing apart if not replaced every 15k miles or so, turbo’s going out early in pre 2019 models. If you change ur oil when you’re supposed to, and let the engine warm up before driving off in cold temperatures, you shouldn’t have any issues. People are making 600+ whp reliably on these motors
@@anaswarjayakumar852 This engine is extremely reliable for what it is. The only main issue in the beginning was a serpentine belt issue that was installed improperly at the factory. A service bulletin went out to the dealers and the issue was resolved. The turbos in these cars will blow if you let the oil get low but that's not a really an inherent engine flaw, turbo engines need oil to cool the turbos. You have kids tuning these engines and not maintaining them properly. I have put 40k on my redsport not one check engine light or rattle. I know the engine is still relatively young at 40k but it you go on a golf GTI forum or BMW forum you'll see how 40k with no issues is a winner...
I absolutely stand with the manual.. I think sport car companies lost touch with their crm systems failing to identify people's demand for manual fast car for a long time.
That's beside Toyota's true failure "to me", by not delivering what we thought a "supra design" which turned up to be called F1 concept?? It was a perfect looking car Toyota, why change it to this awkward looking final production? 😬
Toyota seems to think the F1 design supra is too much beautiful for people to own.
So I'll be going with Nissan z400 😊👍
If there was a version that allowed for turning on AWD or 4WD (for winter) then I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's tough being a RWD sports car fan in Canada lol.
It's a nice looking car, but the front looks incomplete. I forgot which one that was, but there's that orange one that makes it look way better
Great video man!!
thank you!
Still haven't come around on the grille, but I love what the car is all about.
It's really not that bad in person. Low angles make it look super overwhelming haha
I’m waiting for the Nismo. They keep there value way better then the other version.
Love it! Can't wait to the delivery of mine!
I hate to say it, but $40,000 for a new high powered sports car is a heck of a deal these days.
I personally think the gray looks way better than the blue
Nice vid. I also want a new Z---in blue.
Blue is gonna be popular haha
man, i want it. i want it bad. i just wish i were a little older and able to get the proto spec.
It is almost perfect besides that fuel super flap, are they going to use it as a air brake?
Fbo e85 and your making 520+ wheel horse power there’s already a 3.2l that ams is making for this engine and so many other companies have already made stuff and are making stuff now
I'm digging it too, I'll be looking to add another car to the stable in a year or so, this will be on the short list.
How long do you think it will be before some mad man swaps in the VR38 into a Nissan Z? 😆😆
I don't think I can quite afford it, but damn I want it.
I approve with a stick
absolutely. #savethemanuals
Good for you I'll be getting one too we gotta keep the manuals around forever
Eddie did you mess with the shifter? How does it feel? Thanks!
Just pushed the clutch in and shifted through the gears once. Felt fine. I’ll give more thoughts once I get to drive one!!
I really like how this one looks. Seems like decent power for the price. Only concern would be dependability. Has Nissans dependability improved? My mom had a 06 maxima that was completely falling apart at 80k miles. Needed a trans, floor boards, asb module.
350z and 370z have been very reliable. This car has the same VR30 engine in the Q60s, which has been very reliable too.
Let me put it this way: 10/10 times I would take this car over a German car for reliability alone. Nissan sedans have been known to be troublesome for a while, but their trucks and Z's have always been rock solid
This quite honestly might be a car I’m going to purchase after it’s been out for a couple years. Not because it’s the fastest car I would own, but because it’s a 6spd manual, 2-seat sports car thats cheap enough to just store in my garage for the next 20 years, while watching its value skyrocket because of its manual, 2-seat configuration.
Buy a car to enjoy it, not to assume it'll appreciate in value. 🤣 Unless it's a rare collectible supercar, it ain't gonna appreciate much. I owned a S2000 when it came out, and even though S2000's resale value has been kept at a good rate, it's still hasn't appreciated much cuz it ain't a collectible car. I don't own it since 2006 but still love that sucker.
You won't be buying anything.
Grill reminds me of 70 split bumper Camaro.
That auto gana be quick
Nissan paint might not be that great but this car is sexy
It's funny you want a car that's inherently the SAME CAR. Simply cuz its digital and turbo. I believe the performance Z now is the old nismo and the real upgrade is when the nismo comes out. If you drove a 370z nismo before and didn't like it? You're not going to like this... and if you suddenly like it cuz its turbo? Then you know your like is based on being fickle and not being a performance based car enthusiast
The outgoing 370z looks timeless, such a cohesive integrated design, looks like its chiselled out of solid granite!
This new Z...............does not
Hm. Design is very much personal preference. I vastly prefer the new Z
The 370z doesn't look timeless...
Do we know what interior colors will be available other than full black, black/red, black/blue, black/yellow?
I agree with Eddie, the front looks dull...Great car overall though.
I want the new Z! Good review
Thanks!
They should have made the roof a removable Targa. We don't need another hardtop car on the market.
looking forward to it!
I love ❤️ it too
Would you be using this as a daily driver since you have a 350R? Just curious. Thanks for the review, this is one of my favorite too. But I only have a two car garage and I already have 3 cars. How many do,you own?
My daily driver varies depending on my press car that week. But I actually use my 2018 R8 as my daily driver. I have the same problem. 2 car garage but planning on adding more cars. So will find a different solution
I’m reeeeally contemplating selling my ‘16 Nismo Tech 370Z for this… I mean… $20k to twin turbo the VHR engine and hope it doesn’t blow up, or…. Buy a new car with a full warranty… and still row gears and have fun.
Edit: fun fact… to get the Z’s center of gravity correct, Nissan had to move the gas tank inwards and up further, which means they needed to have a longer filled neck and bigger gas fill door. :-)
All black z 😍
I have a feeling the manual will be 60% of sales.
I certainly hope you’re right. I wonder what the split is for the previous generations
With supply chain, inflation, fuel prices, etc. Get ready to wait.
40k... that's a lot but man it's beautiful
Hope that is the base model, manual seats come on nissan. I hope they make a body kit, Supra looks so much better. But manual transmission... might have to over look it's flaws.
Simply Amazing 👏
الشبك الأمامي كأنه شواية لحم ..كبير للغاية ..ومواد البلاستيك مستخدمة بكثرة والإضاءة الخلفية اليست مدفأة الشتاء حينما أشاهد هذه السيارة كأنها صنعت قبل خمس سنوات
great job, Eddie
Thank you!
Idk about value… I want the LSD and leather so i’d Have to get the performance trim… my guess is it’ll be around $48K and the SS1LE is way more equipped for that amount of money..
The powerplant is nice but the chassis is the damn same lol driving dynamics don't seem that promising but other than that it's a winner
This is a great car…. 400 hp tunable to 550 easily… 3400 pounds of weight… 6 speed manual…and costs out the door 50k…
Lmaooo. You know fully well the dealer markups will push it closer to 65k.
Starts at 40k. Performance trim ~45k
You look good bro.
Thanks!
