GT5 Transcripts/Nissan Fairlady Z Version S (Z33) '07

The legendary Nissan sports car "Fairlady Z" disappeared from the catalog lineup in the summer of 2000. But Nissan President Carlos Ghosn recognized very well the importance of this car's presence, and had secretly given the go sign for the next generation model. In July of 2002, the new Z33 model Fairlady Z made its debut.
It shared its base frame and the 3.5L VQ35DE engine with the V35 Skyline, but it was the first time this engine was given specs of 276 HP, 267.6 ft-lb and combined with a 6-speed MT.
"Ever evolving" - true to these words from the head of development, the Z continued to be improved upon every year. One major advancement was the minor change in January 2007, when the engine was changed to the new generation VQ35HR, improving power output to 309 HP. The intake manifold was completely redesigned, and the friction within the engine was reduced. Bu further improving the crankshaft section, the rev feel of the engine was greatly improved, and a very powerful but sensitive sports car feel was established. The exhaust note is very deep and low, making it sound more like a large displacement V8 engine, and the engine hood is given a power bulge in the center as if o show off this change.
Suspension settings were also greatly modified, improving absorption of input from the road surface and always maintaining the body in a flat orientation. Due to this change, the handing of the car has become very natural.
