Nissan 400Z Launch

I really like this car, not over styled like everything else these days. Also hope to see a race variant

I agree. It's a performance coupe and that 400hp would have been fine a few years ago. Today, it needed to be in the 425-450hp range IMO.

If you're talking crank hp, the VR30 puts out 420hp already if you assume 10% drivetrain loss. They dyno 375+ through the 7AT.

Knowing Nissan, they won't or probably can't afford to make a higher hp version. They'll HAVE to swap out the turbos.

Those poor little turbos actually plot right off the compressor map in stock form. That's the main reason the VR30 400hp version has the compressor wheel sensor. It allows for 220,000rpm and up to 240,000 for short bursts before the ecm intervenes.

I like it too, but the limitations of the stock turbos and what appears to be a pain in the butt to mod them, has me rethinking this car.

There are stock turbo AWD Q50s in the 10s with 340 tread wear street tires. I would imagine a rwd car with a good tire that weighs 700lbs less would be just as fast or faster.

Too expensive like everything else

Do you know where Japan is?

Yes lol. Full disclosure, I didn’t realize I typed European instead of Asian. My mistake is now public and there’s no going back and fixing it now. I will take my beating.

@TK1299 isn't entirely wrong since it is Renault-Nissan and Renault owns 43% of Nissan.
