My New 2013 Nismo

takjak2 · 08-28-2012, 07:21 AM

No fog-light butt-plug on the nismo. No where to put it in your diffuser.

I got to poke around a '13 Nismo on the showroom floor today and could not tell much of a difference on the brake lines. Probably just a more rigid or nylon reinforced rubber.

I'm looking for the black piece that the light goes into... Do you know the name of the part? It is pictured in the Fairlady Z that I supplied the link to.

Went to the dealer today about the radiator leak. They replaced the cap. I'll cross my fingers that it works.

The new radiator cap fixed the problem.

I guess the black part IS the diffuser...

Thanks for the info!

Does anyone have an opinion about an Uprev upgade chip or any other brand?

I just used Meguiar's Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner to clean my new Nismo rim. It cleans ok. Does anyone have cleaning and polishing product recommendations?

Man, enjoy your nice ride for a while! Plus I don't think Nissan left much on the table with the Nismo; performance gains will be at a premium.

I've used Meguiar's rim cleaner also but find that standard car wash shampoo works just fine. I typically use some quick detail cleaner on the wheels at the end to provide additional protection against brake dust.

Thanks. You're right. I'm trying to do too much at once. But I am enjoying this car! How do you like your Z?

Loving the 370Z Nismo, upgraded from a 2005 350Z which I tracked quite a bit. The 370Z handles better and is more nimble although it's only been to the track twice. It's going to take some time for me to drive up to its capability.

The fogs are for non-Nismo's only.

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

Be careful with what you use on your rims; they are painted. I just use carwash and water. I then follow-up with some spray on wax/quick detailer.
