MARKET ANALYSIS
Z RZ34 (2022 to Present)

The Nissan Z (RZ34), the seventh and current generation of the legendary Z-car lineage, launched in 2022 as a twin-turbocharged love letter to its predecessors, blending the S30’s silhouette with Z32-inspired LED lighting. For the 2026 model year, the RZ34 has reached a new peak of desirability following a surprise "facelift" revealed at the Tokyo Auto Salon, which replaces the controversial rectangular grille with a more aerodynamic, split-intake design reminiscent of the 240ZG. In the Australian market, market values for new models range from approximately $76,160 AUD for the base coupe to $104,817 AUD for the flagship NISMO, which notably finally offers a six-speed manual transmission for 2026 after previously being auto-only. The buyer pool is currently dominated by JDM enthusiasts and purist collectors rushing to secure the new Heritage Edition—finished in the iconic "Midnight Purple" from the GT-R catalog—recognising that this 298kW (309kW in NISMO trim) rear-wheel-drive machine likely represents the final purely internal combustion chapter in the Z-car's 57-year history.
