The Nissan 370Z, also known by its chassis code Z34, is a two-door sports car that marked the sixth generation of Nissan’s iconic Z-car line. Here’s a detailed overview of its history and evolution:

Introduction & Background

  1. Debut The 370Z was unveiled at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show and went on sale in early 2009 as a 2009 model

  3. Heritage It succeeded the Nissan 350Z and continued the Z-car legacy that began with the Datsun 240Z in 1969.



Design & Performance

  1. Styling Compared to the 350Z, the 370Z featured a shorter wheelbase, wider stance, and a more aggressive and modern design. It had boomerang-shaped headlights and taillights, a distinctive sloping roofline, and flared fenders
  1. Engine The car was powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine (hence the “370” in the name) — the VQ37VHR — producing around 332 hp in the standard trim, and up to 350 hp in the NISMO variant
  1. Transmission Available with a 6-speed manual (featuring SynchroRev Match for smooth downshifting) or a 7-speed automatic with paddle shifters.

Variants & Special Editions

  1. 370Z NISMO: The performance-tuned version with upgraded suspension, brakes, body kit, and more power. It became a favorite among enthusiasts.
  2. Roadster: A convertible version that offered open-top driving while retaining much of the coupe’s dynamics.
  3. Special Editions: Nissan released several limited-edition models over the years, including the 40th Anniversary Edition (2010), Heritage Edition, and more.



Longevity & Market

  1. Despite its aging platform, the 370Z remained in production for over a decade — from 2009 to 2020 — with relatively minor updates during its lifespan.
  2. It gained a loyal fanbase for offering a pure, analog driving experience in a time when many sports cars were becoming increasingly digital.

End of Production & Successor

  1. End of Production: Production officially ended in 2020
  1. Successor: The 370Z was succeeded by the Nissan Z (Z34 second generation), often referred to simply as the Nissan Z or 400Z, which was unveiled in 2021 and launched in 2023. It featured retro styling cues, a twin-turbo V6, and modernized tech.


Legacy

The Nissan 370Z stands as one of the last affordable, rear-wheel-drive sports cars with a naturally aspirated V6. Its long production run and strong enthusiast support cemented its status as a modern classic in the Z-car lineage.

In the world of JDM legends, few rivalries stir as much passion as the battle between the Nissan Skyline GT-R and the Toyota Supra. Both cars are icons—symbols of Japan’s dominance in the tuner world during the 1990s and beyond. This head-to-head showdown explores their roots, evolution, performance, and place in car culture. If you’ve ever wondered which car truly defines JDM greatness, read on. Origins: Building Legends in the ’90s While both models trace their roots to the ’60s and ’70s, their rivalry truly ignited in the 1990s golden era of Japanese performance cars. Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32–R34): Born from Group A racing domination, the R32 GT-R was dubbed “Godzilla” by the Australian press thanks to its ruthless AWD grip and turbocharged power. The R33 refined it, and the R34 perfected it—each one blending cutting-edge technology with a racing soul. Toyota Supra (Mk3–Mk4): The A70 Supra flirted with performance, but it was the Mk4 (A80) that made history. Its 2JZ-GTE engine—a twi...

Nissan GT-R R35 – History & Overview The Nissan GT-R R35, often referred to simply as the R35, is the sixth generation of Nissan’s legendary GT-R nameplate — a car that redefined what a high-performance sports car could be in the modern era. Nicknamed “Godzilla”, the R35 blends cutting-edge technology with brute force, and has been one of the most influential supercar challengers of the 21st century. Origins & Debut Unveiled: Tokyo Motor Show, 2007 Production Start: December 2007 (as a 2009 model in most international markets) Predecessor: Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (discontinued in 2002) Unlike its predecessors (R32, R33, R34), which were part of the Skyline family, the R35 GT-R was the first GT-R to be a standalone model, no longer wearing the Skyline badge. Design & Engineering Engine Hand-built 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 — the legendary VR38DETT Early models: 480 hp Later models: 565 hp, with the NISMO version pushing up to 600 hp Transmission 6-speed dual-clutch aut...

When it comes to underdog legends in the JDM world, the Toyota Chaser is one name that keeps making sideways waves. With its deceptively conservative sedan styling and beastly 1JZ-GTE powerplant, the Chaser has become a cult favorite in the drift community. But how do you take this street sleeper and turn it into a tire-shredding drift monster? Let’s break down the ultimate Toyota Chaser drift build. Why the Toyota Chaser Is a Drift Icon The Toyota Chaser JZX100, produced from 1996 to 2001, is often overshadowed by more famous drift platforms like the Nissan Silvia or Toyota Supra. But real JDM enthusiasts know it offers something rare: a perfect blend of luxury, reliability, and raw rear-wheel-drive power. Here’s what makes it ideal for drifting: 1JZ-GTE engine: A 2.5L inline-six twin-turbo capable of handling serious boost. RWD layout: Rear-wheel drive with great balance for control in oversteer situations. Strong aftermarket support: A vast array of tuning parts from Japan and beyon...
