NISMO NEWS | 370Z End of Production
Dear NISMO centres,
End of Production for 370Z Coupe
We would like to inform you that the production of the MY20 370Z will be coming to an end on 30th Septmeber 2020 for the UK market.
On Sale for more than 10 years, the 370Z was one of the last Sports Coupes to feature a naturally aspirated V6 engine and as such was a true celebration of Nissan’s ‘Z’ car heritage.
Throughout its lifecycle, the 370Z has proven to be a popular and versatile with a number of special editions such as the Yellow edition, Black edition and last year’s 50th Anniversary edition. We know that this much loved model will be well remembered and continue to be cherished by its army of loyal fans.
We encourage you to sell from existing stock, whether your own or from NDS first.There is a last opportunity to place sold customer orders only for the final production month of September, with expected November arrival in the UK. While we will do our best to have these built, please be aware that this cannot be guaranteed due to parts supply restrictions to minimise obsolescence impacts. Orders must be placed by the end of June, so please do not hesitate to speak to any potential customers who may require a factory order vehicle.

The 370z is an odd thing, it looks great but feels heavy and inert to drive, the rear suspension really struggles to cope on bumpy roads if you push it hard (huge heavy wheels and limited suspension travel due to the stupid large wheels causing this).
An old 944 turbo or 968 3.0 would simply disappear off down a twisty bumpy road leaving the 370z driver to wonder where it went.
But it sounds nice and is nice to sit in, has plenty of go, just not as good as it should be, and my 350z was a better track car than the 370 which feels heavy in comparison (and yes the 350z already felt heavy).
They do have a heavy feel to the controls - I believe that is deliberate (though the car is also a bit weighty at just under 1500kg). Certainly it is not a car that you drive with your fingertips like many modern cars. I see that as a positive but I can see the other viewpoint.An old 944 turbo or 968 3.0 would simply disappear off down a twisty bumpy road leaving the 370z driver to wonder where it went.

Not sure which 370z you owned/drove but there were significant changes to the suspension over its life - particularly on the 2012/3 facelift. On my GT the ride on the 19" wheels is surprisingly good over rough roads and it is quite capable of soaking up potholes without too much deflection. There is a bit of tyre noise though due to the wide tyres and minimal rear soundproofing.
As far as the wheels go, yes they are large (19") but they aren't overly heavy on the GT spec. The forged Rays come in at 10.5kg (Fr) and 10.8kg (Rr) which seems to be fairly light for the size, certainly similar or lighter than equivalent Porsche wheels. That's not to say it wouldn't be left behind by that Porsche, just that I am not sure the wheel weight is the culprit.
