probably the most useful of the "electric gizmos" in the 350Z. I measured mine against a good gauge and they were within 1 psi on all wheels. Sad to see it go.

No aluminum pedals on base models, even with the sports package. Oh but it does have aluminum footrest pedal. Although it looks like cr*p because the rest are black rubber.$33k for this car, really, unbelievable Nissan! Someone got CHEAP and started cutting corners. Again.....CHEAP! Even honda civics Si's, maybe even those scion's and other cars that cost alot less come with aluminum pedals. I thought it would of been standard for a "sport car" and others like it. I added the factory aluminum pedals to my 350z base model. I laughed installing them. They were the same thing as the rubber ones, but had aluminum on top of the rubber. Now the gas pedal was actually fully aluminum though. I don't think it would cost Nissan much money to just add these to every 370Z. Sorry for the rant; it just bothers me.

Also, yes the lack of interior manual gas and trunk release button or latch is a little strange. The car is great, really is. Love it more and more every day. But some of the little simple things it is lacking just make me shake my head. It wouldn't make me not buy the car though. =o~

Sorry forgot about one thing. No telescoping steering wheel is a little disappointing also. Even the lowest of the Altima's have tilt AND telescoping steering wheel. Car is comfy without it, but it would of been a nice touch.

You can hear a lot of road noise.

it says...that aluminum pedals are standard for both models on nissan's site...
is that incorrect information?

Chupacabra · 01-26-2009, 02:29 PM

yes, because mine does not have any

I brought that exact page to the first dealership I went to just to look at the car. The salesman brought out another options page and the aluminum pedals being a standard option on a base model wasn't marked. I, of course, asked why it was a standard option for the base model on the Nissan's website and he had no clue. Either there website is wrong(most likely) or they are not installing them on base models at the port...... or something like that.

Chupacabra · 01-26-2009, 02:42 PM

pfftttttttttttt, then i got the shaft dude. becuase i got given option I did not want: ie. light up Z on the door sills, floor mats, etc.... but no option of aluminum pedals whats so ever.

i guess im on the way to complaining then.

I have no a/V on mine, just the 12v port. does the ipod adapter come as an option on the touring?

Crash · 01-26-2009, 04:25 PM

The iPod interface is only there if you got the Navi option. But either way, that 12V port is always in there. It's not a bad place to put your phone if you have your bluetooth setup.

I'm really trying to hold out until the 2010 model arrives, and threads like this help. I'd like to think they will fix at least some of these problems. Considering so many mags complained about the fuel gauge, I peg that for something that will be changed.

Crash · 01-26-2009, 07:41 PM

I can't wait that long. I'd rather buy a new one now and trade it in when the new models come out. I need a new car ASAP! So this is what I'm doing!

Ditto!

Now for my little rant.

Tougher crash standards and other regulations add weight to the current vehicles so the consumers tells Nissan that we want more for our money and a lighter car. Nissan says ok consumer here is your better and lighter 370Z for just about the same money. Consumer says, hey Nissan, what happened to all of the unnecessary stuff that made the car heavier than the out going model and more disconnected from the road. Nissan says we left it all in the scale tipping G37 for all to marvel.
