370z mid-cycle refresh wishlist

1. I personally think the front end looks fine on the regular Z, Although I do like the front of the NISMO as well

2. Not a big deal for me

3. What car for less than $50k has a seat that can accept a six point harness from the factory? I can't think of any. I can think of a few that have some provisions for a four point harness but even those would still need at least a harness bar.

4. Most engines top out a bit before red line. I agree with making it more rev happy though. Easily remedied with a lighter flywheel, but Nissan will never do it cause the stock one helps reduce NVH.

5. Only if they keep the 6MT, I think the semi auto is awesome but I would still want a real manual in my sports car.

6. Would be nice for the track enthusiast, but the average buyer doesn't need that kind of adjustment range. Maybe have it as an option for sport/NISMO models

7. I agree

8. Again, I would agree, maybe put some well placed baffles in the tank?

9. As an option ok, otherwise it starts causing the price to creep up (along with a lot of the other suggestions)

10. With all the safety equipment required in cars these days I don't see that happening unless it goes up in price.

11. GT-R, Nissan most likely won't do a turbo Z with the GT-R around (at least not in the States).

12. That would probably require a complete redesign to the transmission which would again add to the price since they now need to recoup expenses for that

13. More suspension tuning would solve it, but again it will cost you more money.

You have a lot of good ideas, but again unless the car goes up in the market there isn't much that could justify adding it to an already slow selling car. If they made the changes and kept it at the same price there would be more sales but i doubt very little if any profit would be made. Now if you made these changes and increased the price to 45-50k then I could see it make a marginal profit again, but it would still be the same slow seller that it has been. Most of those fixes can be done aftermarket, which is why the aftermarket industry exists. You've already stated you are going to be modifying the car so just address those issues and have the car you want. I know I plan on changing some things eventually to suit myself.
