I believe that Chinese riders, the first time they learned about Fairlady Z was through "Bayshore MIDNIGHT". That's right, it's a Japanese car manga that predates The First Word D. Bayshore MIDNIGHT is a manga series by Haru Nantong, serialized from 1990 to 2008, with a total of 42 copies and an anime that was reduced to 26 episodes.
Unlike D, the story of "Bayshore MIDNIGHT" begins on the "Wangan-Sen" highway in Japan' capital, rather than on the mountain road of the former. The Gulf Shoreline is the longest straight-line highway in Japan, so at midnight there are often drag races there. At present, the capital high is still a "utopia" for street racing enthusiasts, and on Youtube you can find videos of the gods racing in the capital high.
The protagonist of "Bayshore MIDNIGHT" is a dark blue Nissan Fairlady Z (S30). High school student Akio Asakura finds the Fairlady Z (S30) at a scrapped plant in order to challenge Tatsuya Shima's (nickname: Blackbird) chariot Porsche 911 Turbo (930). Even though his boss told him that the Fairlady Z (S30) was a "Demon Z", Akio Asakura bought it and restored it to its original form. In the days that followed, Asakura realized that while the Fairlady Z (S30) was difficult to drive, it seemed to be deliberately saving itself.
Since its launch in 1969, the Nissan Fairlady Z has sold more than 1.8 million units worldwide, making it one of the most popular sports cars in the world and symbolizing Nissan's DNA of "doing what others don't want to do." From 240Z to 300ZX, Z32, and then to 350Z, 370Z, each generation of Z series sports cars has a lot of place in the hearts of modified car players. On August 18 last year, the highly anticipated new Nissan Z model ushered in the world premiere, and since then it has evoked the good and evil "devil" in the hearts of many people.
In my opinion, Nissan understands very well what is missing in the market right now. So on top of the new Nissan Z, it is equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine with a maximum power of 405 horsepower and a peak torque of 475 Nm. At the same time, the drivetrain is mated to a 6-speed manual/9-speed automatic transmission. Yes, you read that right, the 3.0T+V6+MT, such an enticing combination, that no performance car enthusiast can refuse.
In addition, Nissan's Fairlady Z CUSTOMIZED PROTO special edition model is released this time, and the new car looks like a large number of sports kits. For example, the carbon fiber front lip spoiler and side skirt, the Fairlady Z logo on the tail wing, and the white NISSAN Z paint on the tires, these kits will also be available as official modifications for consumers of the new Nissan Z in the future. To use a word to describe, that is, "pinch" to live, Nissan too understand the needs of consumers.
It is worth mentioning that nissan also brought a new Super GT series race car at the 2022 Tokyo Modified Motor Show - the new Nissan Z GT500. As we mentioned earlier, the new Nissan Z GT500 will replace the Nissan GT-R GT500 racing car in service and serve as the brand's official race car for the 2022 Super GT event. The Nissan GT-R GT500 can also retire, winning five driver's championships for Nissan over a period of 13 years of service. The all-new Nissan Z GT500 has taken over from Big Brother and is looking forward to its excellent results in the 2022 Super GT.
In summary, although Nissan has not officially introduced Fairlady Z, I believe that Nissan will definitely not refuse the call from Chinese fans and friends. Since there is such a sales star as Xuanyi, why can't fairlady Z be put on the agenda as soon as possible? I believe that no one will refuse the combination of 3.0T+V6+MT, and when Supra has not yet encroached on the entire market, there is really not much time left for Fairlady Z. If it were you, would you wait for Fairlady Z? Or did you turn around and go to Toyota and pay the deposit for Supra?
