As it gets warmer here in lovely NJ, I REALLY wish that Nissan had the insight to make a power sunroof available as an option.

WTF were they thinking?? I know Nissan was hell bent on maintaining rigidity and stability, hence the rear strut brace.....But a sunroof would make this car 10x more enjoyable...

If I can get out of this lease EARLY...I'm gettin' a Z Roadster!!

 

what's wrong with your AC?

all my previous cars had sunroofs but never had the use for them. all that smog and dust... I'd rather keep my windows/sunroof closed and had the A/C on.

 

there is a company out there which makes a sunroof for the Z, try doing a search...

 

The roof of the Z is too small to have a sunroof, in terms of length from front to back. There would be no place in the roof for it to slide back into, unless they had it slide backwards above the roof(rather than seating into the roof)... like the late 90's Mitsubishi Eclipses had. But they can't do that either, because then if you try to open your hatch with the sunroof open.... you would break your sunroof.

The only viable option would be to have a moonroof that only lifts up, is completely detachable, and doesn't slide back.... or to have T-Tops. T-Tops would result in a loss of some frame stability. The closest thing to a Z with a sunroof that you'll get is either a Z Roadster or a G35 Coupe with the sunroof.

 

I think T-Tops, like Pop-up Headlights, have gone the way of the Buffalo...extinct...I did enjoy having the T-Tops in my '93 MR2 though...

As far as SHO-TIME's comment...No offense, but is the air quality that bad in Southern Cali, that you get that much dust and smog coming thru a sunroof?? With my old MR2, It really wasn't an issue....and having the AC on drains power and hinders MPG....Don't get me wrong...on a blazing hot day...It's AC ON and windows closed! But on those in-between days or cool summer nites....A sunroof would be VERY welcome!

 

If I'm driving in the countryside or doing canyon runs, I usually have both my windows open. Love the fresh air and nice cool breaze. However, when I drive into work (downtown LA), air quality is bad. Whether it is my Z or Altima that I drive that day, I have my windows closed and AC on. Have you seen the LA traffic during the commute hours!? It's ridiculous the amount of CO we produce every day. I wish I could go up to the mountain top rite now and shoot a pic of downtown LA covered in SMOG blanket.

But then there are a couple of members in So Cal who have custom order sunroofs on their Zs. You may want to contact Spacemanspiff or Cocos350z if interested.

 

if you really wanted a sunroof that bad, you should have gone with a g35

 

Home-make...

 

OMFG! What did you do to that beautiful machine! You are such a MONSTER!!!

 

haha.. was that on his show? I was flipping through the channels once and ended up on MTV. Johnny Knoxville showed up at that guys house and cut off the roof of that guys hummer with a chain saw...

 

Get a webasto aftermarket Sunroof for the Z. Roughly about $780 installed.

 

Webasto Medium Spoiler Sunroof, $785 installed in about 6 hours.

 

Got any more pics?

Holy sheeeit man...they must have wayyyyy too much friggin money. I wonder what they did with the piece of the top. maybe they can donate it to a poor guy like me and I'd cherish that piece of metal.. wow...

 

A sun roof would make the top frame weaker, glass being weaker than metal. And for turning/drifting the top frame helps, not that everyone is into it that hardcore. But the Z is a sports car, and wasn't made with a lot of luxary options, the g35 is another story. If you really want a sun roof get the custom ones. Make sure they do a good job, because I heard a few horror stories of rain leaking in.

 

Why in the f*ck do people complain about the Z not having a sunroof?


get a convertable if you need the wind that bad


sunroof on the coupe would

make the Z look stupid when it's open because of the curved roofline, it'd have to slide out in some lame way

would make the car heavier

would make the top not as rigid

would cost more

Buffalo's didnt extinct =(

 

I love my roadster....

Anyone have any sun tan lotion?

 

Sunroofs & T-tops are over-rated. I've had cars with both and like sentry65 is saying they have their drawbacks. They are also good avenues for water to get into your car years down the road.
