We all know that the Z is a bargain for the price. What do you think needs to be changed/added for the next model year? I personally think they should let you have more flexibility with the interior regarding the exterior color. Do you think the MSRP will be the same?

 

bet ten bucks the seat belt passenger side is revised, the 6MT will get some minor tweaks, perhaps some different materials somewhere and a V-10. Oh wait, skip the last one....

 

I would add volume & station controls for the radio on the steering wheel.

Inc. the HP to 300.

Make the compartment behind the drivers seat a storage place if no Bose.

Better Bose Stereo, and make it an option on the Performance

Lower the NAV to $599.00

That is about all I can think of right now.

 

Integrated radio antenae? I know there was all the talk about not doing that because of the drop top but there has to be somewhere you can put the thing. Front glass, bumbper ??? What do you guys think?

 

How much more costly is an in-glass antenna, rather than the alternative? I know many cars these days have them, especially less expensive ones.

 

My top improvements for '04:

-Fix passenger seatbelt so it doesn't need to be put in the clip

-Fix passenger seat so it folds back to its original position after accessing storage compartment

-Padded center armrest

-Fix rattles in sub visor and rear strut brace area

...and the number one improvement for the 2004 350Z (drumroll)....
-Separate buttons to turn off VDC and TCS independently

 

The seatbelt is something small that shouldn't be hard to fix. Strange they have a clip for it, yet they just didn't solve the problem in the first place. I was also thinking about separate buttons for VDC and TCS, but I not sure if Nissan will think that is a necessary modification.

 

how abought an interior option for 500 to a 1000

that would lessen the somewhat cheap, like interior in some areas

 

1) remove dealers from the picture..........done haha.

 

Passenger-side ejection seat.

 

Larger rear window. I saw a 96 300zx on my way to work yesterday. I noticed how much larger the rear window is compared to the 350. Can anyone confirm w/side by side pics?

 

.I just got off the phone with NNA and I inquired about this. They told me some very interesting news.

All I'm going to share is: have any of you seen the movie "XXX"? Remember the GTO? hehehe. LOTS of changes for our '04 350Z

 

Well said, also the biggest factor in not having an integrated antenna is because of the convertible coming out next year. They don't wanna increase cost by making two different versions of the antenna, integrated for the coupe and non-integrated for the roadster.

 

I think the parking brake (in the down position) is in the way of grabbing the shifter, especially when shifting between 1st and 2nd. It just sticks up too high, my wrist is always touching it. When I first got my car, it knocked my hand off the shifter when trying a quick 1-2 upshift. It should sit flush with the center console when it's down. Or, it should be on the right side of the shifter. The Japanese owners probably like it where it is, though!

Interior hatchback release button/lever.

Mute and CD pause buttons on the freakin stereo!

Usable space in the nav system storage area. You can't even fit a CD in there. It's virtually useless the way it is now, IMHO. I think the interior is a hard plastic, too (might be wrong there) -- it should be soft and non-marking so if you throw stuff in there the interior doesn't get all scratched and make noise when it flies around.

This is minor stuff. The car really rocks!
