hey OP, you getting the zylon coating **** ? im skeptical about it, but i got the platinum package, with 6%. so it comes with zylon coating, scotch guard and finished interior, window, rim, and plastic protectant. they are also tinting it for free, as well as a full professional detail.

the car has more little changes than i thought from my 09. mirror heaters, some.... THING under the dash next to the start button that i dont know what it does (little fined vent looking thing) among the obvious changes like the GTR brake system "not rotors and calipers", smoked rims, annoying sat antenna on the roof, subtle color changes to the dash "black around the computer readout" even the key has a little Z on it now to indicate you dont just drive a normal nissan i guess. nice attention to detail. but one thing bugs me. on my 09 i had a nismo oil cooler, and it NEVER even with hard driving got above 180-200. now this one was supposed to have a oil cooler, which it does, but its the one that started coming on the Z's since 2012. and im pretty confused because it runs just as hot as my 09 did BEFORE i put the nismo cooler on it. runs between 180-220 with NORMAL cruising. obviously i havent opened it up yet, nor will i until about 2000 miles, so i dont know if it will actually overheat or not. But can anyone clarify that this cooler has a thermal plate??? so perhaps it only allows flow when the car gets a certain temp??? would make sense, but that costs extra money so i cant see nissan doing that.

will post pics of it when i get it detailed, coated and tinted next saturday. for now you will have to just look at the tiny 150x150 avatar lol, sorry it was a shitty quick pic and i didnt even get the whole car in it.

Where is the 13 registry thread!

Think you could snap a few pictures of the new features you described? Sounds like my 2010 came with most of them already (i.e. heated mirrors, “Z” key fob, etc). I'm really most interested in the brake lines which I'm thinking about perhaps retrofitting to my car.

Otherwise I think I bought a great in-between model, the 2010 has all the features I want and nothing I don't. I really don't care for the Boss audio since I knew I wanted more oomph than what it could provide with the plus side of no visible antenna ;-) …and the factory oil cooler just kind of makes me giggle. =P

How is the backup camera? I've been thinking of installing it. Can you see anything in that rear view mirror monitor? The screen isn't to small?

The backup camera is great! I thinks it's important because the visibility in the rear is VERY limited.

You can see the wing.

Looks awesome! I love the red calipers. Just might have to get mine painted. It's also nice that they included an option for an upgraded sound system in the '13. Because I couldn't get those on my '12, the first mod I made was to upgrade to a Pioneer double DIN head unit (with bluetooth), JL speakers, sub and amp, and a backup camera. Big difference over stock. Keep the pics coming. Would like to see your tints when they are done.
Best,
Mick

Hey Mick,

What model pioneer did you get for your 12 370z. Does it come with the back up camera? What about the quality of the video output? Does it have home link where you can open and close your garage? What about navi? Thanks.

On the Stillen Gen3 how often do you have to replace the dual air filter? The dealership says that the have to take the bumper off every time to replace.

The bumper is required to come off to change/re-charge them.
I believe you must re-charge the filters every 30-40k miles and replace them just under 100k miles. This also depends on the type of environment you are driving in and the dust/debris level.

Thanks for the info. 30-40k is not a big deal and is well worth the upgrade!

Do you know of an aftermarket site to get the color matched parts or is this something that a custom paint shop can do?

MacLean · 08-21-2012, 07:12 PM

Congrats!!!!!! The new Nismo looks nice.

bb370z · 08-21-2012, 08:01 PM

Congrats on the new whip!

niiice! love the subtle changes that Nissan has made. I wish i had a rearview camera built into the rearview...all i can see in my rearview is a spoiler haha

takjak2 · 08-22-2012, 07:02 AM

It would be awesome if one of you luck '13 guys could take a look, feel, and pics of the new brake lines.

chii370 · 08-22-2012, 10:06 AM

I will. I have a hoist in my garage and I was going to put royal purple in it anyway so might as well.
