Based on the Z33 350Z (Fairlady Z in Japan) and modified by the skilled crew at Nismo, Nissan's motorsports and tuning division, this Nismo Fairlady Z Tuned Concept by Gran Turismo was customized with a batch of concept parts to offer a sportier driving experience without sacrificing ride comfort out on the city streets. Output is increased to 300PS at the flywheel.
On the aerodynamics side, the Z achieved zero downforce in stock form, so new aero enhancements co-developed by both the Gran Turismo team and Nismo helped generate aerodynamic drag at both ends of the vehicle for increased high-speed stability. Wind tunnel tests were also performed that led to further improvements in lessening surface drag.
The suspension used the normal-geometry S-Tune kit that ensured ride comfort in normal driving, but the drive was sure to notice how the car exhibited less body roll when cornering, taking turns in a flatter manner. The Z-tune kit was enhanced even further.
Even the braking system was enhanced: While the components remained stock, the ABS was reconfigured to increase the braking force without leading to inadvertent engagement of the anti-lock system.
