To clarify...yes, swap the tires side to side by un mounting and re mounting. I would get 25,000 miles on my rears this way. Asymmetrical are outside tires, can't swap rim to rim. Directional YES you can. I think with the amount of tires I went through i'd have a good idea...just sayin'

If you look around you should be able to get a Sport Package for $30k. I got a left over 2014 Touring Sport w/Nav last September for $34K off the showroom floor with 12 miles on it.

Wow I got a leftover 2014 with 60 miles on it for 25k

What model? I am fine with an $8k discount off of sticker for my car. My other option was to order a 2016 at full price since my 2 local dealers had 1 Z between them.

NVM I found out what model. Yours is a base Sport so you got roughly the same deal as I did being your sticker is $33.5 ish & mine $42.2. I just noticed you can't even buy a Touring Sport now. You have to get the Nismo I guess.

Glad to see you guys getting decent discounts. I was going to shoot for 27k OTD after ALL fees for a base model.

in Sept. 15 bought new MB 2016 Sport with everything but that mirror gizmo for $34K + tax.. the 3 sacramento dealers (all owned by same guy) were $4K higher..
went to SF and the dealers and they were dealing, all were close but I went with the guy closest to me, still 2 hour drive but for $4K....

Never drove a Frontier so can't comment on that clutch, but had stock 370Z clutch pedal then went to RJM pedal. The stock one never bothered me too much but CSC worried me and Ryan at RJM claims that the pedal can eliminate this issue.

In nearly 4 years on this forum, never saw anyone claim a failed CSC with the RJM pedal and mine has performed well for 3 1/2 years (knock on wood). Oh yeah, while the stock pedal never bothered me too much, I definitely prefer the RJM one. It will be easier to shift smoother between the gears, especially 1 & 2.

Its cause you're not married yet, just wait...

Yep. You'll miss it when it's gone.

I got mine cause the other guy was married with another kid on the way :roflpuke2:

:iagree:

I skipped out on it and ended up paying up to get it there. AND I still dont have SRM. Price difference shouldn't be too much anyway.

SRM for DD is magical.

HAHA! If I can get one with the Sport Package for less than 30k OTD, I might go for it. I'm already spending too much for a car that will get 90 miles a day. I won't be tracking the car so I think I'm ok without the Bigger brakes, and I've gotten by for years with several manuals without SRM.

I prefer the Base model 18 inch wheels, but I would really like them with the Alloy Finish. It looks like all the 16 models have a Black finish.

Yeah, but you'll still be lacking the LSD unless you want to spend $1500 or so to put one in. And a sports car with an open diff shouldnt exist.

That logic is a bit off IMHO: if its 'too much' to spend on a commuter you should be looking for....an appliance/commuter. You can get a killer deal on a used VW these days, say nice TDI. Seriously I would be in one myself had I not already gotten my commuter diesel a few years ago :) Sports package itself new wasn't a lot of $ so used the delta should also not be too much on the car.

I drive 100M round trip to my customers, so I commute in the Z (as well as other cars in the stable). The Sports package is still worth it for the things you can't just add to the car easily: SRM, larger brakes etc...

When I get cut off by an asshat, the brakes are nice to have. And when I duck off the highway and take a few back roads in the sports car...I'm reminded why its a sports car.

As much as I strongly recommend the sports package, if I was given the choice of a base Z vs a Honda accord to commute in...the base Z still would be a hoot.

Well I guess there needs to be at least one person that recommends the Sport/Touring package, so that will be me. I like all the extra stuff. But I gotta say, in consideration of a '15 or '16 Honda Accord EX coupe with V6 and 6-spd man., it was s tough choice for me. If I had chosen the Honda, I could have sold off my '97 Maxima 5-spd man. and lowered my insurance too. It was a tough choice for me, both great cars in their own way.

The Idea is to get something Sporty. I won't be drag racing the car so the LSD is not a must. I could buy a car much more expensive, but knowing how fast the miles will accumulate makes me not want to. Surely the base brakes are better than my current 95 Hardbody. I'm not big into mods so I won't be trying to make it something it's not.

I'm probably going to stick with new because I don't want to wrench on anything for a good while. Fluid changes are all I want to do. Initially the idea was to get a CPO G37 sedan, but for not much more $ I can get a new Z, and still have manual trans. I know there are some 6 speed G37 sedans out there, but I have yet to see one.

The Z and the Titan is a great combo. My titan is my dd and the Z comes out for fun sunny days

I have daily driven my 370 for the last 14 months. NO complaints aside from stupid stuff breaking that Nissan doesn't fix like your already aware of. And I live in Nebraska. You can do it and you wont be disappointed, although if your getting a base model you can definitely look used.

Get the sports package. There is a reason why literally everyone on here is telling you to do it. If you don't, and you regret it later, you are going to look back and wonder WTF was going through your head at this moment.

Haha we will see what kind of deal they are willing to make when the time comes.

Sport if you're not going to mod too much. The only real benefits for the sport is the improved brakes and the rev matching which is only applicable for you get the manual. Base isn't a bad option if you are planning on new suspension, wheels, wing, a BBK, and diff. And you'll have a much better car.

Sure, but all of that costs a lot more than the sports package. Not to mention, if you get the sports package, you can still do the same upgrades but you have parts to sell that can help you recoup some of the cost.

Nice!! Now if only they would make a Factory Z with the VK.
