AndreZ Cadena · 03-21-2009, 11:06 AM

Individual TPMS.
Fix the supposed oil temp problems (havent seen it myself).
Replace fuel and water temp with traditional gauges.
Direct Injection.

Thats it. This car is pretty solid already. Like this dude--->

I hope you're joking. That would be like driving a 330HP Kleenex box or essentially an Ariel Atom

This oil temp issue. Its got to be easier than a cooler.... dilute the coolant with more water.....as Antifreeze is coolant...and unless your in uunder 30* temps... a 70 water 30 coolant mix is best. And use synthetic...go to 0w 30 or mix in 1 quart of 0w 40 in with the rest. again using the top synthetics. I'll bet this is happening to cars with front plates?????

I'm having troube with Nissan not engineeering this vehicle for any extended forrays at 105 %

I definitely miss the per wheel TPMS readouts and digital speedo. Little things too like the lack of sunglasses holder in the top, homelink/autodim rear view mirror that you can only get in the touring package (should be an option IMO). Base audio system is still very weak, especially with forgoing rear speakers. Smaller mirrors would be nice, they are gigantic.

batman_4 · 03-21-2009, 01:06 PM

the only thing that gets to me it the light switch (paddle). i hate how to get to the only corners on you have to go through the AUTO feature....they should have put that at the end of the settings.

oh and they could have done a better job on the ipod adapter menu...hate having to scroll through letters without knowing what letter im passing up

Add heated mirrors, sport/track setting for stability control. Add more sound insulation to the rear wheel wells. Add telescoping steering wheel and inside fuel release.

The LCD dots for fuel and temp is lame, but it works fine, and I have no problem seeing mine in bright light. The addition of cross-drilled rotors would be a nice addition too.

What he said, plus: Replace the clock with an oil pressure gauge (have the radio display the clock), add an air conditioned drivers seat (or even both seats, individually controlled), and provide the rear fog lamp to US-delivered cars.

Oil/trans cooler.

BurntGauge · 03-21-2009, 11:08 PM

I would say delete 400-500 lbs, add 30 hp more.

tvfreakazoid · 03-23-2009, 03:33 PM

WOW way too much weight deletions. It won't be possible w/o taking out the a/c unit and every other luxury items. But another 100 to 200 lbs and add about 30 more hp and more TQ. The weight part seems to me to be more realistic. Oh and get rid of the bulky A** door handle and add led lighting on the front head lights.

I would place the ipod adapter someplace else, like in the glove box, or maybe in the middle of the shelf space right behind the seats. Having to sacrifice one of the cup holders for it to me is ironic, because I'm only going to use it on a longer trip where i'll need the cup holders for drinks.

Zpil0t6 · 03-22-2009, 09:57 AM

1.Twin turbo, with built in methanol port injection,
2. In cabin coilover controls
3.Ok Oil cooler, bigger tranny cooler
4 a spec v version....lower weighted sport package with as much weight loss as possible. factory intake and exhaust mods. 350 hp crank.

Musashi · 03-22-2009, 06:48 PM

All I would ask for is a better stock exhaust and a dead pedal for the manual to rest my foot, lol

Maybe my mind is playing a trick on me, but I thought I remembered a dead pedal on my test drive this weekend.
