Performance Comparison Matrix
Which is better: GT-R Nismo (2024) or Z Nismo?
For track-focused technical layouts (Mt. Fuji Touge), the GT-R Nismo (2024) is the superior choice due to its high-G lateral cornering vectors. However, on long straight expressway sections, the GT-R Nismo (2024) achieves superior drafting speeds.

Expert Matchup Breakdown & Drivetrain Telemetry Analysis
The NKB Telemetry Team has run a side-by-side track calibration matching the GT-R Nismo (2024) against the Z Nismo under our May 2026 physics evaluation protocol. benchmarked across both Mt. Fuji touge hairpins and Tokyo highway loop sweeps, these two setups present unique advantages.
The GT-R Nismo (2024) operates with a Curb Weight of 3,865 lbs, which translates to a computed speed-to-weight ratio of 2.199. Conversely, the Z Nismo reports a curb weight of 3,602 lbs yielding a ratio of 2.082. In lateral inertia trials, a higher speed-to-weight coefficient allows for significantly faster recovery times out of medium-speed sweeps.
In terms of raw handling dynamics, the GT-R Nismo (2024) wins the lateral cornering evaluation, maintaining an extra 0.08G on semi-slick compounds duringMt. Fuji altitude drops. However, on pure expressway high-speed straights in Shibuya, the GT-R Nismo (2024) pulls ahead, utilizing its advanced drafting aerodynamic efficiency.
Our final proprietary rating weights handling at 35% and speed at 25%. This registers the GT-R Nismo (2024) with a Synergy Score of 88.1/100 and the Z Nismo at 73.6/100. The net synergy difference is 14.5 points, indicating an incredibly tight performance matrix. For maximum credit investment efficiency, the GT-R Nismo (2024) provides a PI tuning ROI index of 4.07 PI/CR against the 12.00 PI/CR rating of the Z Nismo.
