That's what I was thinking. I WISH! I could buy a 40th with NAV, but does not/did not exist. Black interior is just "meh". It's all I've ever owned. Want something different, but not gray.

You can always get an aftermarket head unit

I doubt it comes with an oil-cooler, though. I want/require one. Because I want it.

Buy the 40th from Canada with Nav, install oil cooler, problem solved...

There was no oil cooler installed in the US version either! Plus you get the fog light this way too!

Not much better. I've seen some really swirled up gunmetal cars. a few hours once a year, as well as an extra 15-20 mins to take your time each wash to do it properly isn't really that much in order to keep your car looking nice IMO. once you get into it you start to enjoy it.

You're convincing me.
I guess I'm just a weenie after seeing some dumbass at my old dealership shred some clearcoat in 3 seconds flat with a buffer (he was being a 'tard and turned it up on high when he wasn't getting the results in the time he wanted). I have heard the portercable is foolproof, and seen videos of that guy mashing it into his blue 'vette, but I'm skeptical.

Can I really just buff the whole car out with it using a fine polish and it be okay? Do I need to buff in a certain pattern.direction to avoid "tracks" or anything, or just buff the whole thing however I want, as long as it all gets done?

I ask this as a 'vette owner though, before I do all this...does the 370Z share it's steering wheel with a Juke or Altima or something? :/

m4a1mustang · 10-25-2011, 11:57 AM

Yes the wheel is pretty much the same in at least the Maxima.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will never get away from the stigma of owning a car with a "base" steering wheel.

Heck I would not call it base, the Max commands just as much respect as the Z in Nissans line up & it has a huge enthusiast group following only 2nd to Z in Nissans lineup. Cost the same, great car and is where many of us go when we add a little one or 2....At least its not on the Altima or Sentra, at least not yet

It's on the Juke though.

(Which is fine because the Juke is awesome)
