Based on my read of the Z preview on Nissan's website, it is available with sport package, but not the base
"World's first SyncoRev Match manual transmission technology, available on the Sport Package"
Also states available on quick specs indicating an option

I WANT THAT INTERIOR IN MY CAR
does anyone know if those are the base brakes or upgraded?
i think those will be a nice swap on my 04
they look big?

Very good. You are correct. The term used most often is mass damper. But this seems to differ from car company to car company. The intention is to change the natural frequency of the pipe. (The frequency at which the material / design begins to resonate.)
I used to work with the company that did this exhaust design. Honestly, I disagree with some of their design philosphies.
i saw the first prototypes of this system back in 2006. The protos were sent to Grass Lake, Michigan for engine and durability testing. I knew it was a Nissan project for our partner in Japan, but I was never told exactly what model. The muffler should be a little lighter in weight. The design is laser welded instead of the conventional spun muffler to reduce material, weight and cost. Nifty idea but conservative.
As usual, it's too quiet. This partner company makes a lot of systems for Toyota so they are used to designing for reduced acoustics.
I look forward to the first aftermarket system for the 370Z. It should be easy to design and build.

I was looking for that... no, they don't looks floating but I guess stoptech will come out with replacement floating areorotors pretty soon, like they have for the brembo on the 350z...
bigger concern is... brake pads... the caliper doesn't looks brembo, G37 has akebono, and no high performance pads so far. and I really like ferodo ds2500/3000 and 2.11 for the 350z (they are cheap too)
I'm really curious how the rev matching will work with a really light flywheel.. that could help for everyday drivability and for a pure performance point of view... on the track you'll focus only on braking without any concern about rev matching... (and you can still turn it off)

great pics.
I did notice one thing. Does it have a shift indicator light? Doesn't seem like that feature got carried over for the MT.

floating, semifloating (M3 style) and fixed... (thanks stoptech for images)
they are fixed

A floating Rotor means it floats around the hub and doesn't require any method to remove them except removing the caliper and bracket. That is the way Nissans have been. These are floating rotors that are on the 350z and possibly the 370z. Now the pictures you show have a seperate HAT, which is different from a floating rotor. The HAT does look different on the 370z.

It sure looked like a 1pc cast iron floating rotor to me.
one piece and floating is something that really doesn't work well... maybe on some brochure... but THIS is how a floating rotor is:

"A floating Rotor means it floats around the hub and doesn't require any method to remove them except removing the caliper and bracket." that is how pretty much any rotor in the civilized world is connected to the hub... and I'm curious to see how it floats when is squeezed on the hub by the rim... or you keep the rim loose so the rotor can float?
