Z at Melbourne Motor Show / Australian Specs
 

The 370Z was unveiled at the Australian Melbourne Motor show on the 27th Feb:

Many of the features of the Touring and Sports packages will be standard for the Australian version. It looks like it will be packaged with 18" alloy wheels. I'd like to know if they will have the 19" wheels available as an option?

I also noticed in the specs it says 'DVD Satellite Nav...' - what happened to the 9.3GB hard drive?? It annoys me when things get taken out of a car just to cut the cost a little.

Unfortunately us aussies won't be able to test drive this car until May. That's when it goes on sale in Australia.

no 19" wheels no sale!

According to that PDF, it makes less power. 328HP.

I agree. I love the 19s and wouldn't get it without them. The 19s would make the car sit higher off the ground too so less chance of scraping the front spoiler.

I was also looking forward to the 9.3gb 'music box' as they call it and promoted quite a lot. Now it looks like we won't get it. That's really disappointing.

And I didn't realize the power decrease from 332hp to 328hp.

Hopefully there will be a lot of options; I guess they haven't finalized it yet. The only extra option listed in that brochure is the extended warranty :p

the 19s are also wider (20mm front / 30mm rear) so we miss out on the extra grip. With the weight this car carries it can use the wider wheels - especially on the front to reduce understeer.

Also they got the front/rear tyre sizes backwards on the brochure!

It's almost like they slapped the brochure together quickly for the motor show. Kinda lame. I look forward to seeing what options they will have but I thought they would have finalized this by now.

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing :hello:

I felt it's time to dig up this thread again...

Does anyone know what options will be available for the Australian 370Z? I know it's pretty much a one package deal but surely there are some extra options?

From what I could tell the only option will be the wheels. The car will otherwise come loaded.

Are the 19" wheels an option? Other people are saying they won't be available.

They will probably do it as a dealer option as opposed to a factory option. It would be pretty sad if they didn't offer the wheels at all.

I have spoken and written to Nissan Australia a number of times on this subject. They have stated the 19" wheels will not be available at all. If enough of us potential buyers complain and refuse to purchase until they reverse this decision maybe they will change their mind.

Why include all sports options as standard - lsd, synchro rev match, bigger brakes - then hold back the option that will get you around corners faster. Those crappy 18s with yokahomo tyres (225/50 series!) will not stay with my current RX8 around the corners so why bother changing ;-)

That's horrible. There's always aftermarket wheels but really, come on Nissan!

This is so stupid, to not even have them as an option! The trouble is, who's complaining besides us? A lot of people are getting aftermarket wheels... but I had always planned to buy this car with the 19". Even when I first read the australian spec brochure and saw the 18" wheels I thought "surely Nissan will provide the 19s as an option". Who should I contact specifically? (PM me).

Found the unveil video. Thought I would share:
