What about power windows,anybody get those!?:stirthepot:

I would have paid extra for crank windows in my 350z...anyone who owned one knows,why...

black leather, i love my carrrrrrr

Nismo tech was gonna cost me close to 50k including NY taxes which is the highest, 8.87%. when i look for car, i want it to be worth the price I'm paying for. i want all the goodies to come with it. heated seats is a plus, leather seats common, leather in a car makes the car, navi + bluetooth + bose audio and subwoofer in the trunk, amazing speaker, bass, its all worth it. power seats cause if I'm paying 50k. I WANT POWER SEATS. for example would u pay 60k for a car hat has 220hp ... you want to get the most out of your car right ? if your paying big bucks u want performance to match with it. i got performance and goodies. plus i paid 37k for my car brand new. well worth the price. i got a sports car with all the goodies. I'm a happy camper.

Couldnt agree more.

The person who writes the check is always right in this case, no justification required!!

I wouldn't call the speakers in the 370z amazing, even if you shell out extra money for the Bose speakers. Bose doesn't make truly amazing speakers in the first place, but the real problem is the lack of sound insulation on the 370z (or any Nissan vehicle for that matter). The GT-R at least uses Bose's active noise cancelling technology.

Before the Nismo Tech package came along, you could upgrade to a Bose audio package in the Nismo and this was perhaps the worst possible OEM option ever devised; you got a 6 CD changer and a 3 month subscription to Sirius/XM for about $2,000. In the Nismo Tech, that extra money gets you an auto-dimming Homelink mirror (3 garage door / gate openers in 1), backup camera, navigation, DVD player. It's a little easier to justify that purchase - I did ;)

But I genuinely don't see the appeal of power seats at all. They are useful in luxury cars when you have multiple drivers and memory for all of them, but that's not an issue for most Z drivers. You just set it once and forget it, heck I don't even need or care about power mirrors or windows for the same reason.

break rotters are from the future, people here aren't familiar with them yet because we're not in the future... Soon my friend, soon!

i agree sound insulation sucks in the Z's. i personally love the bose audio, it thumps and sound is pretty clear, well we can both say its way better than a base lol. and i give you props for getting a nismo tech cause like is said it comes with all the goodies. all the other stuff is just personal preference. so the nismo tech still has oil temp issues right ? and the csc issue is still there ?

I have not had any issues with oil temperature on my Nismo. I've never gotten it above 190F, no matter how hard I push the car it seems to warm up to that temperature and then plant itself there. They added an oil cooler as a stock component in 2012. You may need to upgrade it if you track your car, but you're pretty much never going to go into limp mode driving super aggressively on streets, which is a definite improvement :p

I'm not aware of any CSC changes though. Considering launch control was re-introduced to the GT-R in 2012 with the limitation that it overheats the transmission after about 2 launches, I have to imagine Nissan thinks a lot of overheating issues are best solved aftermarket or simply ignored by putting the car into limp mode? :ugh2: That was basically the same problem it had when they decided to take it off the car in 2010, but then they re-introduced it without actually changing anything but their policy on the issue :icon17:

nice man and yeah, i have the 2014 and I'm in ny, so its been below freezing lately. i herd that in the winter it warms up the oil and in the summer oil cooler kicks in and brings the temp down. i don't track at all, just daily driven except (snow) lol. i have 1600 miles on mine, going to be getting the ZSpeed HD Concentric Replacement Clutch Slave Cylinder. so ill be on the safe side.

HAHAHA:icon18:

I got the tech package because I can't stand how cheap the cubby and base stereo looks. Something that belongs in a Versa. I don't really care about heated seats because I don't drive the Z in the winter. I use it maybe 3 times a year. Also don't care about power seats because I'm the only one that drives it. I'd gladly give up both for the '15 recaro seats. If the current Nismo tech was available when I bought my Z, that's what I'd be driving today.
