How is it different from the AT shifter here?

Notice how the Nismo front is just the lip, not a whole bumper. I thought that was the way the American kit was supposed to be.

You know, based on the information in the write up in the new SCC about the S-Tune and R-Tune Zs coming out, I don't really think the price is worth it.

No Japense girls, yet :-)

I didn't really notice the AT ****, since I have 6MT and have never seen an AT **** in the US.

People were being allowed to test drive this S-Tune. They were asking to fill out a lengthy Japanese survey. I chose not to attempt it since I have the real McCoy. Test drives were for 10 - 15 minutes with a chaperone. The brakes were squealing a little when it stopped - I thought that was odd with the Brembos.

The exhaust note was similar to my Borla - low and throaty. I really did like the body kit. Being an "older" guy, I'm not too into the wild kits out there. I could get by with this and not attract too much attention. :-)

They really seem to like the silver colors in Japan. Maybe that explains why there are three of them in the lineup. Where exactly were these pics taken?

Cool pics. The S-tune looks like a base model (can tell by no cruise control) with heated leather seats, brembos, and drilled pedals? I wish they made my base like that...

thats the shifter for the '04 auto 350zs. i've been thinking about buying one from everythingnissan.com and putting it on my car, 'cause it does look alot better than the '03 at shifter.

mdepena, in some of your pix (I assume with flash), it appears that the JDM 350Z rear tailight assembly has different internal reflectors than the US version - specifically, what appears to be clear and orange reflectors in the lower rear facing lights. Care to comment? TIA.

If I recall correctly... Japanese Z's don't have cruise control. They don't have long stretches of highway like we have over here (mostly short stretches with curves and mountains) so the option of a cruise control can be either dangerous...or pointless.

Those are the aluminum pedals that come in all Zs other than the Base. One of the biggest reasons I wouldn't get a Base.
