Lots of pics below. They let Z-car garage put it on the lift and pull two tires. They didn't want me looking at offsets

Let me know if you want to see a larger version of any of these, I can also lighten the shadows of the undercarriage shots if you are interested

Some thoughts:

• I tried to take pics of angles not taken yet
• NO NEED TO ROLL REAR FENDERS! They are paper-thin, no edge to roll! Nissan is wanting someone to install some 335's back there - there's just tons of room!!!
• The Blose can be called Bose again. Impressive bass for an OEM system - about dam time!
• The exhaust sounds very muffled and very quiet. The tone resembles more of an e46M3 than a Nissan VQ - meaning F1-ish
• The chassis has extensive bracing on the undercarriage
• The front hubs have no center - there's a hole there.
• The flat parts around the feders are HUGE
• Headlights have bulges - not sure if I am feeling the bulges
• The a/c controls on the base model are a step down from the 350. They don't stick out very far and don't have the rubber grippies like the 06+. The new ***** on the base are a let-down.
• The touring has digital climate controls that display on the nav screen - too bad I did not get a pic of that readout - I got one of the radio preset readout.
• The plastic on the lower part of the door interiors is GM-Saturn-grade, but once you close the door, you don't see it.
• The Cubby door does not open up very far - if you are tall, you might not be able to see half of your screen.
• The pull-handle on the inside of the doors feel really cheap. This is a place where Nissan should havespent a few extra $$. I mean you touch this part every time you pull the door shut when getting into the car.
• The RPM gauge tells you what gear you are in - cool.
• The 2-into-1-into-2 exhaust is strange - but plenty of room for aftermarket exhaust!

 

 

 

Man that's a lot of pics! Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks so much for the pics. Best I've seen yet! Looks like it was on a dyno... what did it dyno?

 

No prob. I hope I don't break teh interwebs

 

Wow! That took some time. Thanks. Hmm, I don't think you missed anything. Good job.

 

Great pics. Good job taking different angle shots of the lights.

 

did the rear quarter lip feel sturdy beinf so thin?

 

Can't wait to get my hands on one and take it to the track!

 

Excellent thread!

IF I jump in one, the base model just won't cut it due to the awful interior. Coming from an 06 G35, I would want atleast something up to par. And the upgraded model seems to have a nice interior.

 

Excellent job with the pics! Now someone needs to strap the 370Z to the dyno.

 

Yeah, it felt sturdy. I think the metal is two layers thick there. It's bent back on itself. I wonder how tough it'll be to repair a ding in this area?

 

o.k....

 

x2 shoulda strapped in the dyno right then and there!

 

Nice pics! I am in the bg of the first shot lol

I should have stuck around later it looks like, I didn't know they were going put it on a lift. But I wanted to beat traffic back to Walnut Creek (didn't work).

 

man i cant wait to see this in person tomorrow

 

I got a couple of questions that's hard to gauge from the pics -

1) What does the exhaust sound like? Similar to G37 coupe or the 350Z?

2) How wide are the rear tires for the 19" Rays? I think Nissan listed it as 10 inches wide but it looked skinnier from the pics.

Awesome shots of the under body, BTW

 

Awesome pictures.

 

im that asian guy in like 2 of your shots sitting in the blue 370z. hahaha. man i want that z umbrella so bad
