Z34フェアレディーに、改良

2013 Nissan 370Z


To be showcased at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, coming this February 10 to 19, this revised 2013MY Nissan 370Z (Fairlady Z) Z34 features some mild updates such as a new front bumper that is somewhat derived from the old Z33, red reflector added to the rear fascia, revised 19-inch rims, new 18-inch rims, red-finished brake calipers, dark-finish fuel gauge trim, and Euro-tuned shock absorbers. This keeps the Z34 more updated when this model arrived in Japan since December 2008.

Although no pricing was given, sales for the revised Z34 will start in the USA this Summer 2012. No word when will Japan get this revised model...

Welcome Back: 2010 Nissan 370Z

Z34 Version NISMO, Dubai Version...


The Nissan Z34...If my memory serves me correctly, this was served as the 6th generation model of the Nissan Z-Car, replacing the Z33 and it's fitted with a unique VQ37VHR, which is an improved version of the engine the Infiniti G37 is using. I've seen this one on Top Gear USA when Tanner Foust is teaching a blind man how to drift and how to kick the butts of Adam Ferrera and Rutledge Wood, well almost. With the 370Z returned on Forza Motorsport 4, there is a special surprise at the "Aero and Appearance" section because players can now transform the normal 370Z into the current, Autech-created, Z34 Fairlady Z Version NISMO, respectively. I just can't get enough with this kind of modification on this game.

Nissan Z34 Fairlady Z/370Z - Forza 3 Owner's View

Nissan Z34 at the Touge


Nissan Z34 at the U.K.




FINAL IMPRESSIONS: The Nissan Z34 Fairlady Z or 370Z in global markets was launched since December 2008 and it caused a major phenomenon that this premier Japanese sports car still carries the tradition of being a Z-car. Above all, some Filipinos in the U.S. who are playing Forza Motorsport 3 do prefer using the Z34 because it was designed by some Filipino named Randy Rodriguez, if you know what I mean. And a little FYI though, the Philippine-made ROTA Wheels made an appearance as well. If I can make a suggestion, my favorite ROTA Wheel would be the Tarmac 3 and if I do fit it on the Z34, well what can you say? Stand up be proud!

Anyway, about the Z34, it looks somewhat drastic to master but once I get the hang of it, this is somewhat a wrecking force to be reckoned with, not as a track-burning vehicle but it can also be a good drifter, or good at evading rivals in a game of Tag Virus Infection. Even when the Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) created from the masters of Nissan Premium Factory, it was a festive treat for JDM lovers everywhere. Happy to say that this is probably one of the best JDM cars appeared on Forza 3 aside from the Lexus IS F and Nissan GT-R R35.

I saw the Z34 but...






It was one hot afternoon after a short class at Seattle Central Community College when suddenly, I saw a white Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) in Version NISMO configuration. I maybe a big fan of JDM but the striking design of the Nissan Z34 looks sharp enough to wow me. Whoever owned this rare gem must have been the most popular in school, however, there's a problem...





What kind of a Z34 owner would rather put some Betty Boop decals on it? That looks more of an "OVERKILL" to me. Of course I love the Z34 but putting Betty Boop decals on it looks like this Z34 had crossed the line and much greater risk of becoming a "FASHION VICTIM", making it a perfect target for the "FASHION PULEZZZ". orz


Lesson learned from the Z34 owners. It's okay you can put anything on your Z34, but be aware and beware. Add something childish and most JDM enthusiasts will criticize you for OVERKILL. Don't say we didn't warn you....

New Nissan Fairlady Z Roadster (370Z Roadster)

When Nissan's Infiniti division failed to place the G Convertible to Japan due to the crossover EX placed as the Nissan Skyline Crossover, the Japanese automaker has something to fill it up:





In celebration of the Z-car's 40th anniversary, Nissan has just dropped the top of its latest Z34 Fairlady Z (known worldwide as the 370Z) and it is ready to turn the tables against other convertibles from all over the world, including the Lexus IS250C. The new Z Roadster from Nissan throws excitement for Z fans, thanks to its stylish form that based from the Z34 Fairlady Z, which launched since December 2008 via Nissan Premium Factory, with the soft-top that can open or close in just 20 seconds, to bring the image of this sports car the striking personality it gets.





From the sexier exterior, the new Z Roadster has all the features that make owners delve deeper to the open car. Depending on the variant, the new Z Roadster is equipped with double wishbone front suspension, multilink rear suspension, front and rear ventilated brakes, 3.7-litre V6 VQ engine that delivers 336PS of power with 9.4km/L of fuel economy, HID headlamps, aluminum wheels, power steering, and ABS for improved braking. There are many features to mention on this majestic beast.

IS IT MIND-BLOWING ENOUGH TO BLOW THE COMPETITION?

The honest fact about the Z34 Fairlady Z's design was truly a Pinoy design, thanks to some Filipino designer, who hailed from Canada and educated in the United States, named Randy Rodriguez. Because of this, most Pinoy car enthusiasts cannot wait to hold their proud hands to the Z34's design that is mostly a Pinoy art. Even in its Roadster variant, this is truly the same Z design that carries the 40-year tradition alive and kicking. Everybody get ready because this latest Z Roadster is about to blow your minds everywhere.
