Nissan Fairlady Z Engines and Transmissions

Every Nissan Fairlady Z engine in this generation runs on gasoline, driving the rear wheels through manual or automatic transmissions. The powertrain character leans on smooth, flexible torque rather than peaky revs, so the drivetrain feels relaxed in traffic yet responsive when you open it up.
