Well ****, that does it. I'm waiting for the 06 model to buy mine.

 

How is the pricing of the new 06s, is there any price increase ?

 

I'm just going to hang onto and have fun with my 03 for now. I'd rather wait till the an all new Z arrives later in the decade. I'm betting on a much more aggressive look and HP increases @ that time. All these little changes going on now don't seem worth trading in my Z every year or two and paying more money. Performance IMHO is just about the same as it was in the beginning so I'm waiting for substantial <== (probably spelled wrong) changes.

 

It's more of a cosmetic and a 10-13 increase in HP. I would wait until they redesign the Z in 07 or 08 and keep the one that you have. (SteveZ33)

 

Hey Chad,

Info is straight from Nissan Canada. The other guy is me, and yes it's true. Yup, 18's.

 

Yeah, the paint sample looks alot like Brickyard.

 

I don't think a totally redesigned 350 will be out til at least 08 possible 09. They just changed it. They're going to let it ride for at least two model years.

 

when will the 06 hit the dealership? in the US? Thinking about trade in my 03 for 03

 

Most likely in late '07 as an '08 model if there are no delays. Infiniti will have an AWD twin turbo V6, and a RWD V8 (Skyline GTR). Nissan might get the V8, or tuned version of the 4L 6. It will be much more agressive.

 

The talk is late August, early Sept. I was told that some '06 Nissan's are already at the yard, but we're all trying to clear the 2005's and the rates haven't been released for '06.

 

Thanks for sharing the info. Sucks that I couldn't afford a new 06Z

 

How about magnetic black? How different is it from the super black? Thanks for the info, btw.

 

Magnetic Black is a 2 stage pearl. I can't tell what colour the effect will be from the paint sample, sorry.

 

Shiaza! All these new bells and whistles sound really enticing! But there is no way I could of waited a few more months. My guess is the price tag will go up a little. Bigger wheels, bigger brakes, bi-xenon, not to mention that people have said the rev up motor(300hp) runs and sounds smoother, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

Sorry haven't seen the new pricing yet. There will be an increase, and freight charges are going up 2 to 3 hundred here. Just found out that GT Coupe will have Michelin Pilot Sports, wheels will be 5 spoke 18x9F and 19x10R. Other models will see Bridgestone's RE040, and RE050A.

 

Do all models get the staggered Forged 18 front 19 rear wheels? Or only the grand touring?
What models get the Bembro breaks? Or do all, only the higher models get larger breaks?
Do all models CD players play MP3's?

Thanks for all the great info Blue Komodo!
I think you convinced me to wait till the 06's come out.

 

Dont take this the wrong way but Ill believe all this when I see it.

 

I already got a quote for an 06 enth. Z 6 speed for 27980. But i'm really hoping to get the 05 just because i could put the front lip veilside ver.1. I don't really like the style of the headlights.

 

Hey Savat,

Only GT will have staggered wheels, and Brembo's. All other models get larger brakes. Bose system get's MP3.

 

woah woah, hold the train, did you say GT?
