Only 2 versions available here. Touring and Track. and the main differences are basically the brembo brakes, 18 inch alloys (Touring came with 17" ), and the VDC (Touring only TCS). Track also came with a rear spoiler.

Must be alot different to you guys since you can even get z's with no leather seats in the States. Bigger range of options for those who arent looking for the extras.

Both Touring and Track here get leather seats standard.

Just doesn't seem much like a "track" version with all the extra bells and whistles. Seems more like a Touring with Brembos to me as well.

A track car with leather seats and a BOSE stereo doesn't seem very realistic, now does it?

(not hating, just saying!)

Congrats on the Z, good move with the '03 track. You may be having issues with shifting because your syncros are bad in the transmission. It's common in the early model Z's. My 20035 350Z track edition is on it's 3rd transmission. The 2nd one it received as a replacement also had shitty syncros, the 3rd one is better, but still a bit notchy to shift into 6th.

Haha yeh true. I know what you mean by not a very "Track" car. Here the "Track" Version, is simply just the ''all options available in Australia" version. It's quite weird. lol. A Z without leather seats in Aus is like WTF. =)

:

I only want to do 3 things to this car.

1. Add splash Guards to the side
2. Change the Antenna to the s2000 antenna
3. Maybe add a Nissan front chin to give it more of an aggressive front (I realised I already had the chin accessory..)

Then it'll be clean.

Following from my first post. I figured out the SQUEAK.

It was just because my boot floor (the thing that covers the rear spare tyre) wasn't put on properly.. PHEW. Fixing it really made my day. Now the car is silent as NEW.

Oh yes... =)

I'd imagine the only thing in the USDM track Trim that would make any significant difference over AUS one is the lighter Rays wheels. Since the only benefits of the track trim over the Touring in the States is the Brembos and a few less pounds anyways. I can't imagine the leather and Bose adding any significant weight. 20-30 lbs maybe

And really most that have a track trim hardly push it hard enough for long enough to need the benefit of the Brembos over the OEM brakes.
