Does anyone know if the vents on the new front fascia are functional? I am interested to know if the ducts direct air flow to the front brakes. This would be a nice improvement from the current Z.

The little vent under the DRL's is just cosmetic, you could easily cut them out though.

Picked up my 2015 nismo tech last Wednesday. She's better Than I ever dreamed. My first Z and I'm not at all disappointed.
Couple notes: no ID plate (that I can find)
Cannot figure out how to get the rear fog light (the third light at the bottom) to turn on...
Will happily answer any questions that I can though!

How are the Recaro seats? Firm, comfy, fit and feel? How about the new final drive? Feel quicker?

No serial number plate behind the seats? Wow, that is strange....

The Recaro seats are fantastic in my opinion; they hold you in place comfortably no matter the turn. My wife is not a fan...but than this isn't for her.

I'm not sure the difference in the final drive, again this is my first Z.

Thanks for the tip that the fog light is just for show...coulda sworn I saw it "on" on a 2013...must have been wrong.

Nissan has updated the official 2015 brochure:

http://www.nissanusa.com/content/dam...z-coupe-en.pdf

Nothing new we didn't already know, but the PDF looks pretty.

Pics or it didn't happen.

The rear fog lights are never functional on the US models. It's one of the things they remove to cut costs. The sockets usually work though. You can easily buy a light kit and run the switch into the cabin... or hire a mechanic to do it.

I just watched a review video of the new Nismo and it didn't have a number plate on it as well.
