Default Wish List

I thought I start a wish list of the small improvments I'd like to see in the Z.. Now that I brought mine, it's to late..But maybe if Nissan included them in the 05 version it would make other people that much happier.. Feel free to add in.


Interior trunk release button

Headlight "on" indicator (so I know the damn lights are on on a bright street after a few beers.)

Turn signal switch that doesnt turn the headlights off when I activate the right turn signal. (You have to hit it hard but it does happen.)

Bigger map pockets in the door.. Can anybody put thier hand in there?

Thats it for me.

Additional 150hp.

Really though... how about intermittent wipers? Mine are only fast, faster, and fastest.

Smaller rear strut brace...if that's even possible...shave off some of the plastic.

Nicer paint or better paint protection.

They do have intermittent wipers. It took me a while to figure them out. There are two dials. One for the rear wiper and one for intermittent front wipers.

Oh yeah, here's an obvious one: how about a freakin glove box in front?

a moonroof/sunroof sure would be nice too.

Interior trunk release button/B]
It's kinda hard to reach easily, but there actually is an interior trunk release switch....if you look under the reat strut brace, you'll see a small plastic ring...pull it, and the hatch opens. Given the hard-to-reach location, I'm guessing it's only meant to be used for emergencies.

I mean from the drivers seat.. You cant use the key fob to open the trunk when the car is running.. For instance when my girl wants to put something in the trunk.. I have to explain how to do it.. She's gotten the hang of it now .. but it was a pain in the a** for a min..

Fatter stock wheels (wider) / quiter and softer transmission / less weight / true dual exhaust system / better quality materials on inside / better stock rubbers

More power adapters, in a normal place (so my radar detector cord doesn't stretch across the interior). Plus one that doesn't turn off with the key, and a regular 120v plug (like the matrix).

Decent stock tires (why not use the S02s or SO3's?)

ARM REST

FOG LIGHTS

The previously mentioned...glove box, bigger door pockets, foot lighting, anything better performance related of course, moonroof).

Tera Patrick or Jenna Jameson.

That about does it.

Oh, and leather for the Performance edition.

Less agressive VDC/ Yes, Front Glove Box/ Better stock tires/Nismo Coilover/Swaybar for Track trims /SS Brakelines with Track Brembos/Different, own key designs only for 350Z. (Not likely, but I'd dig it)
Hmm...that's about it.

I can't believe that nobody's mentioned the ridiculous placement of the 12V outlet.

I'd also like something better than teh nav console, maybe move the glove box.

That is the car's function.

It generates crowds of hot chicks.

Gotta agree with that one...having it between the seats makes it kind of a pain to hook up my iPod.

Compared to everything else that's good, though, it's just a minor inconvenience...I still wouldn't trade my Z for anything.
