I just received from a good contact in Tokyo a copy of a large Nissan catalog regarding the new Fairlady Z.
This information has not been released yet. Summary of vehicle stats, packages, and options is as follows:
HP: 280 (no surprise here – still sticking to Japanese regulations …will have to wait for the real performance numbers after testing in the US)
Torque: N.m(kgm)/rpm: 262 (37.0)/4800 (translation needed here for lbs-ft)
Vehicle weight: for 6 speed (add 22 lbs for auto)
Base model: 3153 lbs
Touring: 3197 (close since packaging might be a little different)
Track (without the Ray’s): 3175 (close since the Japan packaging differs from the US)
6 speed gear ratios
1….3.794
2….2.324
3….1.624
4….1.271
5….1.000
6….0.794
Drag Cd: 0.30 (0.29 with front/rear spoilers)
Tires: Bridgestone Potenza RE40 (same type as used on the Skyline GT-R 34, but probably not Z rated).
Shift up indicator… there is a light on the tach for shift up based on individual setting on the trip computer (one of the three small dash-mounted meters).
Trip computer includes following functions:
1/ outside temperature
2/ miles/gallon
3/ average speed
4/ driving time
5/ driving distance
6/ stop watch
7/ shift up indicator setting
Japan packaging (pricing not shown):
1/ Fairlady Z… base model – with 17 inch wheels
2/ Fairlady Z… Version T .. 6 speed or auto (leather seats, heated & power seats, and the 240W Bose)
3/ Fairlady Z… Version S.. 6 speed only (18 inch wheels and tires – not the Rays.. but the standard 6 spoke 18 inch wheel, Brembo brakes, VDC, basic audio system)
4/ Fairlady Z… Version ST (same at Version T… not certain based on catalog how the ST version differs from T .. and if it includes anything from Version S)
Optional equipment… all costs in US$ based on exchange rate of US$1.00 = Yen 125 (interesting to note that there are no NISMO options in this catalog… perhaps will come out separately):
1/ side air bags… no cost given
2/ Ray wheels…...$2,320 – dealer option.. (I believe for all models including “Version S”)
3/ front and rear spoilers… no cost given – dealer option (I believe for all models)
4/ Bilstein Sports Suspension… no cost given
5/ Fujistubo Titanium Muffler... $ 1,869
6/ Fujitusbo All Stainless Muffler… $ 710
7/ MOMO Sports Steering Wheel… $ 503
8/ Front Grill.. special treatment to look aggressive, racy and carbon like… $ 200
9/ Mud guards..front and rear… $ 280
10/ Knee pad cushion on driver side… no cost given (used by Nissan test drivers…
good for circuit or autocross or hard driving)
11/ Kick plates.. no cost given
12/ Front left and right carpets…
a/ sports type.. US$ 240
b/ luxury…. 184
13/ Door mirrors… move down for better view when backing… no cost given
14/ Door mirrors automatically move to body when ignition turns off.. no cost given
15/ Security alarm system… no cost given
16/ Front camera monitor… (for car navigation screen).. can see left and right in front – no cost given
17/ Rear back camera monitor.. for backing… (same as 16)
18/ Front bumper..left/right vertical orange strip – change to white....$80
19/ Various CD/MD cassette selections from Kenwood/Addzest and Clarion – nothing spectacular.
The exhaust sound is purported to be great, sports and aggressive-like.

Of course! We don't get all the options again. We always get the diluted version of everything here in the States. Check a Japanese car magazine, and u will see what I'm talking about. For example.. Look at all the great radios with the huge animated displays. We get about 5 of those to choose from here. The trend carries on beyond cars. I guess it's our level of practicality combined with a lower standard of living that causes this. Sorry, I had to vent.

Mmmmm... titanium exhaust and carbon front grill...
drool.![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
btw, note that in Japan there's a self-imposed limit of 280hp by the major can manufacturers, but some of the cars still go over that when they come here. The NSX is a good example, lists at 280 in Japan, but here it's 290.

the shift indicator sounds interesting. If i understand this correctly, it only lights up 1 light when to shift or does it have a multiple light bar indicator?
That would be a kinda neat idea with lets say 4 bars to light up.
Then i could pretend to be M. Schumacher but with the Ferrari

If those optional parts that we don't get here aren't in the Nismo catalog, I forsee a large amount of j-spec importing. A trip to Japan may be in the offing.

Hehehe... I occasionally go to Japan on business. Seen an assload of skylines last time I was there, some pretty bad cars. It's too bad it costs so much to convert em to US specs!

dvlad...
On the picture shown in the catalog... there is only 1 light located below the center of the tach dial. The copy of the catalog is only black and white... and not that clear.
