I've never seen the kneepads in the 2004.5s. Can someone post a pic or point me in the direction of one? I'm curious to see what they look like.

 

Too bad the search is down
there are a few threads from last year with some better pics.

I happen to have this one in my archive

 

Yeah, if the search hadn't been down I wouldn't've been so lazy. Thanks for the pic by the way.

 

Here'a another one:

 

The knee pads in the newer Z need to be bigger..

In a Auto 350Z the right side knee pad needs to be large as the leg goes back and bangs against door..

Right Knee pad needs to be larger also in 6MT and Auto as the car whips the legs in a track like mode. Passangers are on thier own I guess..

But at Buttonwillow Raceway I was passanger with John Hotchkis and I was like a rag doll ( with helmet of course.. ) hanging on and had a real need for passanger knee pads.

Cheers

Are knee pads really needed on the Z?

 

I don't see why they are. Has anyone successfully removed them?

 

FWIW

 

huh are knee pads stock in Z's cuz mine doesn't have them

 

They are standard now. The showed up midway through the 2004 model year.

 

I'd want knee pad for driver. But those are not thick enough I guess. I want somethin 1 1/2" thick

 

WTF? Are they allowing Burnt Orange with Liquid Silver now?

 

I believe those leather seats were put in aftermarket.

 

I know in Canada you can get burnt orange with liquid aluminum

 

A quick trip to www.nissanusa.com revealed that this is also an option in the US. The only interior you can't get with LA is the frost.

 

I have the knee pads in mine. I don't think they are really needed.

 

I don't have em, and I can't see why you would need them. But hey, whatever...at least they're making "improvements".

 

Come on guys, yeah they are useful. (for the ladies so they dont hurt their knees while they...)
