Why didn't Nissan.....
1. Engineer the rear wiper blade to lift out of the way for window cleaning (just like the fronts)?:mad:
. 2. Give us stronger rods ;) :mad: . 3. Provide a luxury option that gave us a nicer interior?:mad: . 4. Offer a premium sound system?:mad: . 5. Allow adding the NAV system any time we want?:mad: . 6. ..............oh hell....I could go on but I feel a little better now. Thanks for letting me vent. Anyone else? |
Well I add mine. This is Nismo and Nissan
1. Relocate the VDC switch. 2. Give us a complete internals kits(Great they gave us 8.5.1 pistons, what about a higher compression piston. 3. Give us the US Spec Nismo kit. Its been 2 1/2 years now. 4. A higher rev limiter. 6600 wont cut it. I have more but will save it for someone else to post. |
1)Give us 350 HP?
|
Give the Base HIDs, fcuking cheap @ss bastards.
Use Michelin Pilot Sports instead of POS hydrophobic RE 040s. Factory clear bra on the front bumper. |
Turbo.
Bigger Rims. Better looking OEM lip. Brighter Hids. LED Tail Lights and Turn Signals. just to name a few of mine. john |
I'll add oil dip stick
|
A dead pedal that's not held in place with two plastic screws...i know, it's a minor thing but i just replaced mine:icon8:

how about an option of a decent stereo? i guess its to much to ask.
the dipstick is terrible. rest of the car i love. |
Softer center console
Move the hazard switch forward so a passenger elbow does not turn it on. Better clutch feel All the holes drilled out of the speaker grills |

Originally posted by clipz99 Hey guys... Nissan does make a car with a lot of the things you’re talking about. It's called the Infiniti G35/Skyline. For about the same price you paid for your Z you could have bought a G. The Z was engineered for the sporty young adult that doesn't mine giving up luxury for performance. Don't get me wrong, the G is also very sporty but it is also the "Higher End" of Nissan. |
Oh. And I forgot. This is for the 2003 folks. Relocate the damn cigarette lighter plug in. Sports car drivers do use a radar detecor.
|
well nicer interior and stereo is argueably the touring model. as for it being an option to all... Ill assume it has to do with mass scale to keep costs down; make 5 seperate cars, not a thousand combinations.
|
1) Targa top
2) Sunroof/moonroof 3) Optional front lip, G35C's have one. |
I'll throw a few in.
1. NON-DUSTING Brakes. Replaced mine after 200 miles. Got sick of washing the wheels after driving to the store and back. 2. Crusie Control on the Base Model. Anyone know how I can upgrade to cruise? 3. Def. a better stock stereo and speakers. 4. Get rid of the POS Potenza's. 5. Get rid of the bumpiness, just a little. 6. Clock in the guage area. I'lll think of some more later. |
This thread is kinda dumb. . . . . .
What do you guys think the aftermarket is there for? Because Nissan can build a car that is great for 90% of its customers. If you want more - PAY MORE. Get it done yourselves. If Nissan spent all that time, effort, and money in to engineering all the stuff that you guys have proposed, the car would cost $60k. . . Want a better interior? Make your own (fiberglass is pretty easy to work with - I swear!). Want a better audio system? What do you think the thousands of car audio shops across the country do for business? Want more power. . . Jeeez, thats pretty obvious, what do you think all those "mods" are for? And what are all you base model people complaining about? Its called the "enthusiast" trim! Shoulda blown the extra 2k! The only valid point I heard at all is the oil dipstick could be better designed. . . That one would be kinda hard to "aftermarket". |

Besides that, I think the RE040s suck (at least in Florida where it rains everytime I drive). Michelin Pilot Sports do very well in water, just look at the reviews between the two tires on tirerack.com. The Pilot Sports also cost the same as the RE040s. The only reason I think the Z got Bridgestones is because Nismo uses Bridgestones on their JGTC racing teams... And the chipped paint on the front bumper is just ridiculous. No car that I, or my family, have owned have as many paint chips as mine. I only have 5,000 miles and mine has more chips than our cars that have had over 100,000 miles. I know they can't put lead in the paint, so clear bra seems like the only fix. I also don't tailgate behind anyone so I'm not causing the chips through my driving style. |
because it's a $26k car?
btw, this thread should be in general forum |
