“First, Best Dressed” is gone at Nissan Australia.
After offering an allotment of just 100 Nissan Z Nismos last year the company said it was now making the sports car available to order through its dealer network, along with its other cars.
Nissan also says deliveries will begin “almost immediately.”

It’s priced at $94,000 before on-road costs, unchanged from last year and almost $20,000 more than the standard Z.

Nissan made the initial allocation available to order online on August 10, 2023, and they immediately sold out in claimed 53 minutes.
“As soon as we saw the pent-up demand for the Nissan Z Nismo and the speed with which our first allocation sold out, we knew there would be fans of this iconic vehicle who missed out on securing one for themselves,” says Nissan Australia Managing Director Andrew Humberstone.
“That is why I am so excited that we have been able to secure additional vehicles to meet this demand. The Z NISMO is now available to order through our Nissan dealer network, with deliveries starting almost immediately.”
The company celebrated the car’s launch with a video of it tackling the steep, twisty Lake Mountain Road in Victoria.
The Z Nismo features an upgraded version of the regular Z’s 309kW and 520Nm twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 engine – up 11kW and 45Nm.
Nissan claims it has achieved the higher outputs by improving cooling, revising the electronic leakage control which provides increased turbocharger and turbine speed, and the inclusion of GT-R Nismo-inspired independent ignition timing.
However, no manual transmission is offered, with the only transmission option being an “enhanced” nine-speed automatic.
It rides on wider 19-inch Rays wheels and stops with bigger brakes than the stock car, and has a new Sport+ drive mode and launch control.
The suspension also features stiffer springs and bushings, retuned shocks and unique anti-roll bars, while the chassis has received additional stiffening to increase torsional resistance by 2.5 percent, and the steering column has a stiffer mounting bushing.
It looks meaner than the regular Z too, with canards on the front corners and unique side skirts, grille and rear spoiler plus a set of red accents.
Inside, there are unique Recaro buckets in leather and Alcantara that lack the electric adjustment and heating of the Z’s regular seats.
These are matched by a leather/Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, while there are also Nismo-specific graphics for the dashboard and more red accents throughout the cabin.
