The 18's look ok but are just too small on our cars. A 50 profile on a 225/18 is massive! I think it's because the overall rolling diameter of the wheels/tyres are bigger than say a Commodore, so 18" look like 17" on the Z. Do you know what I mean?

The point about not getting the 19" is not about missing out on the latest bonnet bulge or 2nd gen upgrade, it's about being lied too about it in the first place.

I'll be happy with 19" running a 285/35/19 and won't upgrade.

gumpy 03-03-2010 05:55 PM
Yeah fair point GTRFAN...

EVL370 - 57k. omfg... that's insanely cheap... i hate you... sorta... =) congrats man...

EVSE - seriously man there will be DI unless they conclude that our fuel is too dirty for it... in which case we'll just miss out alone... Australia's not a good place for cars... =(

haha yeah I know man, we get shafted in every possibly way here :(

But yeah, DI will most likely be used.... not any time soon though I don't think.....

Still don't think of it as much of an upgrade, It's been ok with fuel efficiency etc, but nothing to write home about....

I'd rather wait for the 400zx model in 2014 with factory turbage! ;)

lol, reminds me of that ad where a guy keeps talking about getting his favourite car, but he still needs to save a bit mroe, and then he's 70 before he knows it hehehe.
I reckon waiting for the next best thing is BS - point of sports cars is to buy them and enjoy them, now, not in 5 years time, waiting, waiting.

Hey ellas01 what price did you get on the 2010 model? Can you update the price thread for other perspective 2010 owners?

I bought my Z with the knowledge of the 2010 and the 19's coming. Hence why I paid 57k for a brand new car in stock. Even If I get the 2010 wheels for say 4k and sell my 18's for 2k. I'm still going to come up on top for a 2010spec car for under 60k

It comes down to price. The dealerships won't move much off RRP until the 2010 build plated cars fall into 2011.

I don't think we will see an 370z update of any kind until the Mazda RX9 is coming out. Try late 2011 or 2012.
I find 57K for a BRAND new one, 0km car, little bit hard to believe. Low 60's yes, but 57K - damn. What dealership did you get this deal from?

Well truth be told it was 57,500 drive away with mats.

Werribee Nissan.

I got the last 09 one in stock.

And Yes, BRAND new not a demo.

This is my car itself below.

Im happy with the 09...just want the wheels.

Aren't you buying one in 2011? lol

bordeaux 03-06-2010 07:27 PM
Have to agree with 370ER, the usb connection is much needed.
I ordered a 370z roadster yesterday and told the salesman if it doesn't come with proper ipod functionality through the head unit I don't want it. So far I've seen 3 roadsters and none had it but I can only assume these are early release models as I have to wait 3 months for mine in bordeaux with a manual transmission.

Soon all the 19" boys will be upgrading their wheels and there will be plenty of the 19s available.

GTRFAN 03-09-2010 07:14 PM
It's funny how the media knows all about the 19" and yet Nissan are still being all coy about it.

"The new wheels will also be available on all MY10 Nissan 370Z coupés from April"

Lord Kain 03-09-2010 08:20 PM
I was told by my dealer that the Coupe got the 18" Std wheels and the Roadster got the 19" Rays.

The stereo/climate control has a diff button than my coupe does.

I tried pressing it a few times but couldn't work out what it does or remember what it said.

If you zoom up on the interior pic, it's a round button right in the centre between the volume and climate control Evans (I mean knobs).

Also I noticed that the roadster has key holes in the doors??

gumpy 03-10-2010 01:34 AM
I don't know about you but i have a key hole in the driver's door...

VQHRZED 03-10-2010 01:45 AM

Why not powder coat a set then ? I'm told it's about $40 per wheel.

Nah much more than 40 a wheel... more like 150 a wheel.... I wish they were 40 a wheel lol I'd have done mine gunmetal by now...

I just can't justify spending $600 on wheels that annoy me. lol

370er 03-10-2010 05:54 PM
Would many people be interested in buying the 18s? I'm just wondering how much '$loss' there will be if I got 19s through spare parts and sold my 18s. The 19s will be like 5k+ ? Ouch. Then there's tires.

You 2010 guys are lucky! I loved those 19s as soon as I saw them. But I was also obsessed with chicane yellow at the time too. Otherwise I would have waited and got my Z this year.

True...the wheels are only 5k now as they are spare parts for the Roadster and Nissan knows we all want them. Once the Coupe gets officially announced with them, you will be able to get them much cheaper.

The best deal could still be ebay once guys start upgrading...wait n see.

BAH to Nissan!! lol It still pisses me off that we now need to pay more than others to get the same feature that should have been included in ours to begin with even though we asked about them and I even wrote a letter to Nissan about them at the time of purchase....... I'll never lose my bitterness over this lol.... I'll end up an old bitter man and when I do, I'll blame this one event in my life.

It is true I speak rubbish most of the time :)

rudi 03-10-2010 08:08 PM
Bigger wheels look good but with the lower profile rubber give you a harder ratly ride. I had low profiles on my old S15 and noticed reduction in ride comfort and handling. I would never do it again. Just my opinion.

Majestik 03-10-2010 09:41 PM
I really really hope insurance pay me out...
... Not just so I can get a new Z with 19"s.

It's so I can gloat at Gtrfan and evse for hangin crap on my roadster fetish :)
