Grand Touring

 

I think Im going to wait also, and hope I can get an enthu for under 28k. If not Im sure ill find a good deal on a brand new 05 when the 06's are out. And also I had heard that the 06 was coming out in sept-oct. If it is late aug. Im going to be a happy camper

 

Im the same way. Some of the changes like the much larger wheels and odd rear tire size for a 10" rim seem questionable. For instance the 9.5" Nismo rears recommend a 275 tire, so why would a 10" use 265?

 

GT as in, Fairlady Type E, with the Nismo Tuning? Is that what you mean? Cuz if it is.... "I'm already naked."

**EDIT - Just read the post a few above this one... Oh...Grand Touring...meh...

 

If it's anything like the Diamond Pearl Black that was on my 300zx then I know what color I want.

 

Nissan always undersizes the tire to the rim, I'm guessing to save money. Depending on manufacturer, correct size for a 9" rim is 255 and 10" is 275. Not sure about Nismo, 9.5" should wear 265 rubber.

 

Yeah, sorry no Nismo parts. Would have been nice though.

 

What a drag if its true.

 

Hope Magnetic black isn't replacing Super black, is it? Will Super black still be available?

 

God Damn it, I knew I should have waited for the 06. I just got my Z less than a month ago

gshh....

 

Yeah, but what's your interest rate?

 

Only black available in Canada.

 

anyone have an example of the new black?

 

I think the Lexus LS300 had that new black - its like a hyper charcoal - almost black but not quite, but UBER pearl / metalic in it. Its a real dancer with the sunlight.

I personally want Pimp Plum

 

Yeah, same here. 300bhp, bigger brakes, led tails, bi-xenons would of made the wait quite worth it. Too bad we didn't know.

 

LOL how come a couple of months ago everybody was bashing the new '06 and now you guys are all, man I wish I would have waited, oh I can't wait, oh I'm sooo getting one etc.?

Anyway I hope all the '06 models do come with the Anniversary wheels, maybe I will be able to sell them for about $800 with the tires to somebody, to help pay for a set of real wheels and tires:-D

No really, it would be cool if turns out that the base model does end up coming standard with 18's but I still want something nicer than even those wheels. I was hoping that maybe they would put 18's on the base for '06 but I'm not real crazy about factory wheels in general. even the 5 spoke Ann. wheels don't do it for me, so hope I can get rid of them.

 

Too bad Ultra yellow is gone. I have a DB Z and was hoping my next Z would be UY. Oh well. Seems like every year Nissan keeps making one color just for one year.

 

wat about some pics, and will tails and headlight housings be swappable

 

Sorry no pix yet. Yes, swappable. I do remember that someone had posted pix of an '06 roadster from a Stillen event. Maybe about a month ago. They show the new lights and interior.

 

I wasn't one of them bashing the '06. The MP3 player is one thing, but the new black is just a stab in the heart. < pretend thats blood comming out.
