Nissan product to Nissan product.

If there is too much humidity, my car doesn't like to start.

On really hot days and hard driving I lose brakes.

Most of the time when I do drive it, I play the what's that smell/sound game.

Yeah, but 400hp is like... 5 Miatas at our elevation.

Hey guys! So I went to a local cruise/meet and got to know some really great guys. One of the guys is the shop foreman for the local Infiniti Dealer Service department. He let me know that they are replacing at least one turbo a week on the Twin Turbo Q50/Q60 due to the lack of a blow off valve system or recirculation system. He said that the earliest he's seen a failure is at aroung 15K miles, and it starts with a whirring/whistling sound that gradually gets louder. My car has about 6k miles but I would swear I have always heard a slight whirring/whistling sound coming from my car and I think it actually sounds cool. Anyone have any turbo issues/replacements etc?

I assume they had sorted this out 4 years later? Someone I know had a 2019 Q60 Red Sport also ditched it after 1st turbo replacement. Thought it was one off but doesn't seem like it.

According to https://www.motortrend.com/features/...hanges?slide=1 there appears to be a recirc valve which dumps pressurized air just upstream of the turbo.....

To suit the more thrill-seeking driver of a Nissan Z, there's a new engine-boost recirculation circuit. When the throttle is lifted or closes briefly—as when entering a curve—turbine pressure is routed right back to the inlet to keep the turbine spooled so full power can be available the instant the driver's foot returns to the throttle.

Yikes. Australian price but it could be a good indication where the new Z pricing is going.

[vengie]

Good way to flop the car right from the get-go.

No way someone will pay $70k for these.

Australian pricing is notoriously high, we don't pay as much here.
As an example a 2LT C8 corvette starts at $80,998 CAD, while in Australia it starts at $144,990 AUD

I'm sure we'll see a price increase here, but nothing as severe as Australia.

Beat me to it.^

I don't see their motivation to price it much above previous Z's which has been <$55k Canadian.

It's official. $49,990USD for the Performance trim. A $10,000 premium over the Sport trim

[94boosted]

Also looks like $58.5K CAD for the Performance. Just based on a review, can't find official info. At over $60K otd, I think Nissan messed up.
