Parking details for the Meet The 2023 Nissan Z event at Z Car Garage



Our shop has limited street parking. Please refer to the map above for FREE PARKING on Saturday, October 23. We have secured a section of the Bay 101 Casino parking lot right off N 4th St., highlighted by the red square on the map. From this lot it is just a short walk to Z Car Garage located on 140 Archer St. Please be courteous and do not loiter or park outside of the designated area Bay 101 Casino has provided us. We look forward to seeing you and share in the excitement of the 2023 Nissan Z. Long Live The Z!

This was a fun event. It was great to see the new Z in person and chat details with the Nissan rep. The car looks amazing in person, and is a suitable heir to the Z throne. 400hp twin turbo V6 isn't too shabby, either. Lots of classic Datsuns there today to share the spotlight.







There was a particular old Datsun that caught my eye: a CPF02. Don't see these every day.

What an event! The 2023 Nissan Z showing at Z Car Garage was a huge success. It was great to see so many people visit the shop, both old friends and new enthusiasts.

We had some alone time with the Z from 1-6pm and a private viewing from 6-9pm on 10/22 for clients and family. Shop was opened to the public 10/23 from 10am to 4pm with a steady flow of 400+ people.



Inside the shop, sharing the spotlight were vintage Datsuns and late model NIssans. We even had an "IMSA GTU Corner"



The parking lot was filled with cool cars, even the street parking was impressive. I spotted this 710 Violet:


I could not resist taking some photos next to the new Z





Thanks to everyone that attended!

That looks like it was an amazing event-- kudos to the ZCG team for hosting such a great event.

Erik, glad you could make it!
The forklift gets heavy use and it is H20-powered!

They really pulled it off... also reaffirming to see young and old still interested in sportscars.

Today I drove the 2023 Nissan Z from the ZONC show in Danville to Z Car Garage in San Jose.





We have the Z for a week. Full report on zcarblog.com soon!

Twin turbo automatic ? Guess it detunes to stop wheel spin
Still think the auto clutches are not going to last
The 280zx ones didn't
Better hold off on selling them now maybe 24

Nissan gave us the new Z for 5 days. We enjoyed driving the Z on our favorite Bay Area backroads and sharing the experience with our clients. First impressions were unanimous: the new Z is fantastic right out of the box.

Saw the car on Internet. Meh. Saw the car in person. Meh. It's unfinished. It lacks features. Its special trait is that it's different, and not in a good way. People want to love it and that's where it ends. Sorry. It's true.
