2009 Nissan 370Z Nismo

If you commanded the Nissan genie to pimp your Z-car, the result would be the second-generation NISMO model now available at dealerships. (The NISMO name stands for Nissan Motorsports International, the prime source of extreme performance parts and special-edition models created by Nissan factory experts for hard core street and track use.) Updates beyond the standard 370Z are 18 extra horsepower, 6 lb-ft more torque, various interior and exterior design touches, a retuned suspension, wider 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels, and Yokohama instead of Bridgestone tires. Even after you add a $780 dealer-installed engine oil cooler, the NISMO package runs only $6980 more than the regular 350Z equipped with a Sport Package.

NECK TORQUING EXTERIOR

The NISMO Z is not for those who prefer slipping through traffic unnoticed. The new nosepiece, which adds about six inches to overall length, includes a prominent chin spoiler and corner canards aimed at improved aerodynamic downforce. Add-on side sill extensions help manage under-car air flow. The new rear appendage is a biplane affair combining a spoiler with a wing. That device in combination with a diffuser panel between the exhaust pipes helps stick the rear tires to the pavement at high speed. Rear-fender slots are purely cosmetic.

The factory claims that there is genuine aero downforce at the felonious velocities this car is capable of achieving. Five color choices are offered-white, silver, black, red, and graphite. After exposure to one red and one silver NISMO Z, we highly recommend the red choice unless your driving record is already under assault.

COCKPIT CREATIVITY

Interior distinctions are mainly cosmetic. The bucket seats are upholstered with grippy woven cloth to hold two thrill seekers securely in the likely event hard cornering and braking ensue. The driver benefits with 8-way adjustability while the passenger must scrape by with 4-way motion. Power adjusters are not part of the deal.

The color theme is red, white, and black with red accent stitching and NISMO logos sewn into both backrests. To aid the memory challenged, this identification is sprinkled throughout the car in no less than 16 locations. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob also receive attractive red stitching. All three pedals are trimmed with aluminum plates and there's a distinctive identification plate containing a serial number and the model year. Less than 1000 2009 NISMO Zs are planned for sale in the US.

The list of equipment shared with lesser Z-cars includes a highly legible three-pod instrument cluster, active head restraints, push button starting, power windows and door locks, automatic climate control, and no less than four cupholders (one to the left and right of each occupant).


The NISMO's four-speaker entertainment system plays AM/FM/CD and plug-in portable material through an Auxiliary jack. The illuminated steering wheel controls allow you to adjust the background music during the heat of racetrack battle, if you so desire. A Navigation Package consisting of an Ipod interface, 9.3GB Music Box hard drive, and highly legible color mapping adds $1850 to the price. Bluetooth hands free cell phone connectivity is also offered.

THE V-6 WITH V-8 ASPIRATIONS

Nissan's VQ engine has proven to be a highly versatile and spirited power producer. In 3.7-liter form for the NISMO it is equipped with variable intake valve lift and timing, a reflashed engine control computer, and exhaust pipes joined together with a flow-improving H-shaped connector. (The standard Z exhaust consists of two Y-sections joined by a single pipe.) The 350 hp peak output lies at 7400 rpm, only one hundred revs before the redline. The 276 lb-ft torque peak also lives high on spin mountain at 5200 rpm. The lofty 11.0:1 compression ratio works without benefit of direct fuel injection. Backing up this V-6 is a close-ratio six-speed transmission with SyncrhoRev Match, a means of automatically blipping the throttle for smooth down shifts. That's an especially handy feature for drivers too lazy to learn the fine art of heel-and-toe pedal operation.

TRACK TUNED BODY AND SOUL

While the basic body structure and suspension systems are shared with the standard Z coupe, NISMO has fiddled with several calibrations. The underhood brace has a couple of additional gussets. Front spring rates have been upped 15-percent, rears are jacked 10-percent. Total roll stiffness is greater by 15-percent thanks to a front bar with a 15-percent higher twist rate and a rear bar that is 50-percent stiffer. The front dampers provide 40-percent more control while the rear shocks have been fortified by 140-percent.

One out-of-the ordinary tuning touch is a pair of dampers added to the NISMO Z's unibody. One is mounted horizontally between the front longitudinal rails, the other is positioned just behind the differential in back. These laterally oriented dampers quell high-frequency body vibrations driven by the stiffer suspension calibrations. They not only reduce the buzz you would feel through the seat of your pants on rough roads, they also provide a calmer and more stable base of operations for the track-tuned suspension systems.

The brake system is unmodified from 350Z specifications. The vented rotors are 14.0-inches in diameter in front and 13.8-inches in back. They're clamped by fixed aluminum calipers with four pistons in front and two pistons per rear wheel. ABS and VDC (stability control) are standard.

The power rack-and-pinion steering assist is speed dependent. More robust mount bushings augment feel and precision. The 19-inch Yokohama Advan Sport radials are the same size as standard Z rubber in front but 10mm wider in back. Also, the tire speed rating rises from W(168 mph) to Y (more than 186 mph). The RAYS forged-aluminum rims are 9.5 inches wide in front, 10.5-inches wide in back, a half-inch increase at both ends of the car. To accommodate the rolling stock, the front track is 0.2-inches wider while the rear track is 0.6-inches narrower. A viscous-type limited-slip differential (part of the standard Z's Sport Package) helps maintain momentum in tight turns and during aggressive launches from rest.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

Nissan could have bought a stake in Aston Martin as early as 2012

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

Aston Martin has a very interesting future ahead of it. While the British brand appeared to be struggling with aging tech for a while, fresh investment from Daimler may have shown a light toward the future with the brand getting engines and electronics from them. Also, former Renault-Nissan top exec Andy Palmer has jumped ship from the French/Japanese automaker to become CEO of the much smaller sports car company. Interestingly, though, new reports from unnamed Nissan sources have indicated that Palmer has been pushing to work with AM for years.
Three unnamed company insiders told Reuters that Palmer made attempts to convince Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn in 2012 and 2013 to invest in Aston Martin, but his proposals were shot down both times for unspecified reasons, according to Automotive News. "We looked carefully at the proposal but we passed on it," said one of the sources.
You can easily see why Palmer was eying Aston Martin even back in 2012. It's no secret that the British sports car mavens were in need of extra funding, well before the Daimler investment. Building vehicles these days is only getting more expensive with stronger safety and emissions requirements. Just look at the brand's desperate hope to get a side-impact crash exemption to keep selling its models in the US as an example.

Nissan, Infiniti recall more than 130,000 vehicles for potential fuel leak

Tue, Dec 9 2014

Nissan and its luxury brand, Infiniti, are set to recall 133,592 vehicles after discovering that fuel could leak out around the pressure sensor, potentially increasing the chances of a fire. While Nissan lists five nameplates in its recall, there are actually only three models affected by the improperly tightened fuel pressure sensor. They include the 2012 to 2014 Nissan Juke, as well as 2012 to 2015 Infiniti M56/Q70 sedans and QX56/QX80 SUVs. Nissan will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles soon, with the recall expected to officially kick off no later than January 26, 2015. Naturally, repairs will be conducted free of charge. Scroll down for the official bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And stay tuned for more news coming out of the NHTSA offices today. In addition to Honda's expansion of its recall for vehicles with Takata-built airbag inflators, the regulatory body published a huge number of unrelated recalls this morning, helping to stack the total number of called-back vehicles even higher in these last weeks of 2014. Report Receipt Date: NOV 28, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V683000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 133,592 Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Nissan Juke, 2012-2013 Infiniti M56, QX56, and 2014-2015 Infiniti Q70, and QX80 vehicles. The fuel pressure sensors may not have been sufficiently tightened during production. As a result, the fuel pressure sensor may loosen with vehicle usage and cause a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could cause a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pressure sensors, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before January 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
