Just received car back from Nissan after they did the Fuel Filler / Vent Hose
recall work and I noticed there was a stud on a bracket in the left rear quarter panel / wheel well area out in open air.

WTF? I figure Nissan left off a panel that should go in the wheel well. I'm like until I go to the dealer and look under 5 or 6 350Z's new and old.
They all have this mystery stud with nothing mounted to it.

The only thing I can figure is it is for the aero panels that come on the track version. What do you guys say? Here is a picture:



I figure some panel should go in that gap .... but no, all Z's I have seen are missing something here. If it's Aero. I'm buying it just for dirt deflection. If not, I'm going to bend some plastic to keep dirt, mud and water out of this area.

 

my thought exactly...

 

Hmm. Good find, but the subject of the thread makes one wonder what it is really about

 

Seems to me this has come up before and that was the consensus of oppinion

 

BTW Jason ---There was a guy last night that was havin He!! getting the oversize Nismo dampers on his rear hatch. I kinda said ---What can the big deal be ??? Well, after going out and pulling my bottom bracket off , I found it WAS a big deal. All he has are the assys with the sockets and no way to pull the old ***** out of the old sockets. Whats the deal ????

 

We'll at least I didn't title it "What do I do with this stud?" I would never have survived the comments. Lol

 

I checked mine out, there is a plastic piece there. I have a Track model but I don't think that is Track specific.

 

It seems to be as all the other models I have looked at does not have this peice. Now, I have to find a track model to see what it is.

Or, if you have a digital camera .... can you snap a shot and post it here please?

 

its weight reduction lol

 

I stand corrected, check this thread:
