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.

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

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
