The Z and the GT-R are the two reasons enthusiasts forgive Nissan for building so many beige sedans. The Z began with the Datsun 240Z in 1969, a long-hooded, six-cylinder coupe that cost far less than a Jaguar E-Type and was more reliable, and it became the best-selling sports car in the world for a time. The GT-R grew out of the Skyline, earned the nickname Godzilla by crushing touring-car opposition in Australia, and became a cult hero through video games and street racing films.
The Z lineage ran through the 280ZX, the turbocharged 300ZX, the revived 350Z of 2002 and the 370Z, before the current car arrived with retro styling and a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 shared with Infiniti. A manual gearbox remains available, and the Nismo version adds sharper hardware. The R35 GT-R, launched in 2007 as a standalone model, used launch control, all-wheel drive and a hand-built twin-turbo V6 to embarrass far pricier exotics, and stayed in production with steady updates until 2025.
Today the Z soldiers on against the Toyota GR Supra, the Ford Mustang and the BMW M2, while the GT-R is between generations. Nissan has said the name will return, and speculation about hybrid or electric power for the next one never sleeps. Meanwhile the Nismo sub-brand keeps the flame alive with performance parts and, in Australia, a performance center restoring classic Skyline GT-Rs. Expect SEMA concepts like a twin-turbo restomod of the original S30 Z, Nismo pricing, track tests, auction results for collectible R32, R33 and R34 GT-Rs, and every rumor about the next Godzilla. Few Japanese performance cars stir as much passion, and the comment sections prove it daily.
Nissan's two sports-car bloodlines, from the 1969 240Z and the Skyline-born Godzilla to today's twin-turbo Z Nismo and the GT-R's promised return.
