Just wondering if the 350Zs are all made 100% in japan or is only the engine made there etc? Thanks

 

I'm not 100%, but I believe all japanese.

 

100% my friend...

 

Can't be 100%. For example, the tire pressure sensors are made for Nissan by Schrader Electronics, an Irish company. I'm sure a lot of other components are made in other countries and imported into Japan. Gone are the days where a car (or any other product) are made exclusively in one country.

 

car is manufactured in Japan, doesn't mean all components are made in Japan.

I bet a good percentage of components are made in china

stock 17 and 18 Wheels are made in taiwan I believe

 

Isn't there some kind of "final assembly" that is done here in the states?

 

There are some "port installed" options. Things like the mud flaps, door sills, floor mats, etc.

 

Made in Tochigi, Japan. See my post on "Nissan Tochigi Plant tour".

 

Assembled there - not necessarily every part was "made" there.

 

The motor in the 05 Nav Door says "Made in China"

(runs away)

 

so is the engine harness, its made in china as well....take off the engine cover to see a tag "made in china" wheels are made in thailand.

 

There are 2 versions of the wheels... you can get the same wheel but one is manufacturered in Thailand, the other is in some other place I forgot... Look in fast tomorrow it says the country of manufactuer...

 

Seems to me like the majority of 03 models have had their current transmissions installed at your local dealer.

That J at the beginning of the VIN means it was made in Japan. As far as every little wire and transistor...no. China kinda has electronics on lock (Taiwan, Hong Kong, or otherwise).

 

well there are quite a few various parts made in china, singopore, and thailand.

 

yes and the 2 versions are made in japan for the track model forged 18" wheels which is made by RAYS, or thailand which makes up the rest of the Z's wheels 17 or 18"

 

i heard 350z's were made with love. WHo agrees?

 

Z's are made with a lotta heart and soul too!!

 

hehehe...Good One, Jason.

Assembled 100% in Japan, parts sourced internationally, options and port installed items, as mentioned earlier, placed at the dealer and port of entry respectively.

 

Too bad the japanese don't know how to aline a cars wheels. =)~

On another note. Cars like Fords are made from parts that come from all over the wolrd then they are (some) pieced together in Mexico or Canada.

What dose that make the car? sure as heck can't be american.
