2009_nissan_370z_main630_01-1029-636x360.jpg

wow... the first thing I thought about when I saw that rear quarter was this:

Fuckin awesome work nissan... finally the Z doesn't look like a steaming pile of turd (aka Z31, Z32, Z33)... but has gone back to looking like a smooth sexy cheap Ferrari 250 GTO lookalike.

lol

Also new is the rear quarter panel area around the hatch, where the window line sweeps upward, giving the car a bit of a familial resemblance to the sword-like design of the GT-R.
clearly has his finger on the pulse when it comes to heritage based design cues.

I'd have to see it in person before I can make a final judgement.

it may grow on me, I wan't a fan of the 350z when it came out but I ended up loving it after seeing them in the flesh

From the spy video the front looks so aggressive, like it's gonna take a bite out of the car in front, kind of reminds me of a pihrana

From picture on the link the side view is all over the place and doesn't look all that cohesive, but again probably works better in person.

But more positives than negatives so far. Should've went back to circle headlights if they really wanted to go back to the 240z styling :)

the front kinda looks like a face that is emotionally 'frightened'

the back slope is terrible and what is with the size of those rear windows; might as well not have them at all.

much prefer the older model.

LOL!!

It looks alright.. never been a fan of the new Z anyway.

Edit: ewwww... just noticed the light. .. thats nasty.

i like it, harks back to its grandaddy 240Z

^^^+1

That's just what I thought too. With the perception of a longer snout, it reminded me of the first Z.

Might be entering another golden era of late 80s and late 70s.

80s = 300ZX + R32 GT-R

70s = C110 + 240Z

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
