![]() These are the people pushing for cars to be outright banned in 15 minute cities. ![]() ![]() Why bring this into Speed Hunters? Let me explain because you don't seem to have two brain cells to rub together. ![]() You're thinking at level 1 and there are about 100 levels to this. Another person who has no idea what history is and has been programmed to think this is about politics. Instagram: Nissan Z stories on SpeedhuntersĪmazing you think this is "far right" when people on the right and left are part of Fabian Socialism. Am I the only one keen to try out a 650hp RZ34? Now that the aesthetics are on point, I think it’s time to get excited about what’s coming on the engine tuning side of things. And if you are going to do something so drastic, you might as well go all the way and do it properly, something this Pandem conversion does rather well. While most new Z owners will not even toy with the idea of cutting their car’s stock fenders, it’s still nice to see that Miura-san offers the option. Trust have fitted a pair of edrib (Bride) seats with GReddy harness belts to elevate the look and feel of the interior. I love how the Air Lift Performance digital controller perfectly color co-ordinates with the interior trim. The Z’s cabin feels fresh enough to make owners feel like they are indeed getting a totally new car, despite the fact that much of the chassis beneath is almost identical to that of the Z34. Kei Miura, the visionary behind Rocket Bunny, hasn’t just massaged a few of the Z’s lines here and there – he’s totally disrupted what the Nissan designers came up, resulting in an aesthetic transformation with attitude. This is by far my favorite aftermarket body kit for the new gen Z-car, and it also happens to be the wildest conversion on the market right now. These were the thoughts going through my mine while shooting the Rocket Bunny Pandem-kitted, Trust-built Z that was unveiled in January at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon. Which really means we should embrace this generation while we’ve got it. Much like the next GT-R, which could come as a hybrid – like the brand new Lamborghini Revuelto – or even fully electric, the next Z will follow suit. The RZ34 could well be the last real Nissan Z. We can – quite easily these days – tweak, upgrade and perfect our ICE engines so that they respond with more urgency and produce greater power and torque output. And in the case of the RZ34, your rear tires too. Your senses will be tickled and you know exactly how much pollution is coming from your tailpipes. Gas, when used in combination with a sweet motor like the VR30DETT that powers the Z, equals a whole lot of fun. So where am I going with all of this? Well, I’m just trying to say that in this modern world filled with uncertainties and unrealistic visions of the near future, there is one thing you and I can depend on. Yes, it may look and seem ‘clean’ when you’re sitting in your EV waiting for a battery top-up, but that electricity has to be produced somewhere, and with that comes more emissions. And that’s all before we even get into the debate on Lithium-ion battery production… There’s still no shortage of hype around EVs, but is the world ready for the electric vehicle revolution when the charging infrastructure in pretty much every country – Japan included – can right now only (just) support the early adopters? The ongoing war in Ukraine has increased the cost of energy five fold or more, and renewable energy sources are in their infancy at best. It’s a funny world we live in. Despite pretty much every automaker saying that EVs are our future and that we’ll soon all be living in a perfect, sustainable society where CO2 emissions from vehicles are a thing of the past, the good old internal combustion engine (ICE) continues to power the majority of new cars.Įspecially the ones that are of special interest to us here at Speedhunters, like the new RZ34 Nissan Z.
