I'm confused. I have seen several threads that mention that the ZR does not have Vehicle Dynamic Control VDC. Niisan's website
http://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/Mo...120017,00.html

(Then select the Touring Roadster)

lists the VDC as a standard feature for the Touring Roadster. I called NNA and they tell me that it is a feature included in the 05 Roadster.

Is this correct? or they are just telling me "what I want to hear"

Thanks for your help

 

I have the 05 Roadster and they DO NOT have VDC.

 

I far as I know, only Gran Touring Roadster has VDC.

You can confirm that on Nissan website. Try build a touring raodster or view a spec on standard equpment. For Enthusiast and Touring Roadster you will see TCS as standard. You will see VDC as standard on Grand touring roadster.

Hope that helps.

 

yup..only TCS. BTW, what is Gran Touring Roadster? haven't heard of this model.

 

Check it out here.

Nissan website

 

Please see a screen shot from Nissan, Touring Roadster selected. Youu will see the VDC option.

Thanks

 

That screen shot is misleading, because it shows "key features" for both coupe and roadster. When you click on the coupe / roadster link it only swaps picture not the text.

lazy web developers...

 

You calling me lazy....

LOL.. you must mean "web designers"

 

Exactly, web designers. Just spend a little more time and get the specs right... and of course, Nissan will tell you anything just to sell the car...

 

Ok, No VDC. One last question. Do you guys know if the Grand Touring 35 Aniv. Edition will come on any other color besides yellow?

Thanks

 

Silverstone, Ultra Yellow, Super black

 

err... that's for 35th anniversary...
For Grand Touring Roadster, I don't think they ever specified colors...

 

35th anniversary is coupe only, and Grand Touring is like a Touring roadster plus Track equipments like brembos, VDC and track rims and tires. It still has the same 287hp engine, not the 300hp one...

 

man, why waiste time to search on nissan? i had the Roadster and i know for sure i don't have VDC unless they hide it somewhere under the engine.

 

Du4L337 thanks for the info. You really seem to be up to date on the "Roadster". Do you have any idea how much $$$ will it be?

 

05 Gran Touring has VDC and Brembos... $41K

 

According to kbb.com, the invoice price, with destination charge, for a 2005 grand touring roadster, is $36,833, or $39,780 retail. Manual trans. only.

As for colors, if you try to "build" a grand touring roadster at nissanusa.com, white and blue aren't offered as exterior colors, and the frost interior isn't offered.

 

Well in Canada the Grand Touring is offer in all the color and start at 55 498$ Can.

Now they need to make a 350zx (x is for the all wheel drive system).

 

Hi guys. I have an 05 Roadster and I have VDC and Brembos. Maybe we get different spec cars in OZ.
