Yes I purchased the kit at the time I ordered the car. The dealership will install them for a "small" fee. I do get mixed reviews on the badge placement but I'm not a big fan the driverside hood location myself.

If Z owners are fond of the S-tune or not, the general public takes time to stop and ask me about my car. People that you would assume have zero interest in cars take the time to give their compliments, then get into their Murano or conversion van and drive off. Lol

Seriously though, I have never had a car that got so many people to stop what they were doing to tell me how much they like my car. I have had many sweet rides, but all peeps seem to love the Z.

that makes sense. I was wondering how you had the nav display when the nismo doesnt come with it.\

I'm about to go buy the Nismo version so hopefully I have pics up for you guys soon. I just really wanted that nav display but to get the HP gain, suspension, brakes, etc. you gotta get the actual nismo.

oh well, lose one thing gain another I guess

Dealers install the S-Tune package. It doesn't come that way.

really??

I just talked to the dealer in my area and he said he would have to order the car...

not that he would order the parts

Nismo S-tune is always dealer installed...

The 18HP gain is easily achieved thru Nismo S-tune performance parts as the standard 370Z has tested faster than a "factory Nismo".

Now add the S-tune performance parts to a fully loaded 370Z touring + Sport and guess what happens? It's even faster than before...

Just look at the Titanium shifter, pure Nissan goodness:

He is thinking the NISMO 370z not the S-Tune. Nissan does not have that available as a order option with the car. Dealers order the parts and install them.

thanks for clearing that up. I hope to have one soon :) btw congratz on the Z. It is gorgeous

Thx

I bought the titanium shift knob and didn't install it, it's nice but too bleh

I don't know why they don't give nismos the option to have navigation. I would love to see that interior with a nav.

I would also want the Nismo to have power seats. It's a shame they limit your options. I think it's due to the car starts at $30K, but if you want everything it's $50K they were avoiding...

No regrets on the Nismo S-tune - has everything, and it sure is a head turner.

I had the same initial thought, and avoided purchasing it at first. I got a good deal on one thru a member here, and I can't believe how much I prefer it over the stock shift knob.

There appears to be a little rubber/plastic ring at the bottom of the shifter where it joins the boot......... did it come with this, or did you have to fashion that yourself to make the install look neat. Thanks.

John

it comes with this rubber ring - actually I was under the impression you put the ring under the shift boot leather, and the knob goes on top, so they meet eachother and the boot sits flush.

That makes sense!
