"400Z"-370Z Parts Interchange

zpwrgirl

Although that is an option, I'd prefer if it wasn't a laughable amount for such a simple product, lol.
Besides, I'd like to keep a more natural look instead of having a somewhat rectangle block in the middle

Spooler

That's what 3d scanning and printing is for.

I'm waiting for someone to swap steering wheel and see if airbag/srs and buttons work properly. For me steering wheel is the ugliest part of 370z's interior.

cooltoy

Even uglier.

Honestly I like it a lot more, still I would mod it to my taste, but I need someone to confirm its plug and Play or how to do it, because in Europe I have to import it and it won’t be cheap.

OptionZero

I guess if you want to retain all the wheel's functionality, a stock replacement is best

but most people swapping wheels are doing it for either:
1) appearance
or
2) function. Moving the wheel to suit your driving position, and/or adding a quick release to get in/out of a fixed bucket

I didn't notice that they changed the center console such that there's no longer the 3 switches (or blanks). I use those for Air Cup controls and the secondary fuel pump. Sucks for RZ34 owners, physical switches are convenient

Yes, the new steering wheel in not that great looking. However, I do have Nismo, so it's not really a good comparison.

The Nismo and Performance (I believe) still have the 3 switch positions on the center console. The Nismo only has a single position being used for the hatch release, the Performance (or whichever model it was) looks like the seat heaters along with the hatch release.

Back on topic, the Nismo strut brace for the RZ34 fits the Z34; I'm running one since I can no longer use the 3-point due to where my swirl pot mounts on the firewall.

ZoomZ

Will it also fit over the engine cover? I notice yours is removed.

Do you feel that the 3 point was even neccesary?

Afterall, I believe the chassis in RZ34 is same as Z34?. Are there engine bay and front suspension differences that Nissan altered to get away with 2 point?

It'll fit with the OEM cover, but since the 2-point is narrower than the 3-point, it doesn't look as good IMHO. Also, I've been running a Password:JDM harness cover the last few years and recently swapped over to a Bull Boost cover I modified to fit my vacuum block, so only the rear half would work anyway with my setup (the new harness cover is at the powdercoater so that's why it's not pictured).

I don't know if the 3 point was necessary, but I only track my car a few times each year so I wouldn't notice it as much as someone who does so more consistently.

I'd rather have the added rigidity of the 3 point brace and there's gotta be a engineering reason why Nissan included it in the Z34. Mass car manufacturers don't incur such costs for nothing.

I'd rather have it too but, again, it gets in the way of my swirl pot so 2pt + swirl pot > 3pt - swirl pot (to me, at least).

Tractionless

Relocate battery to trunk and swirl pot to its position.

I like The shift knob in new Z. Should be same thread size/pitch but might be shorter. Have to see if someone swaps out.

I always like the Qashqai steering wheel, but I'm not sure if it's easily fittable to the Z.
