I have a deposit on a Midnight Blue, Base, Sport, 6MT that is scheduled to arrive around 9/14. I really like the color in the pictures posted by AlaskaPaul, but if I don't like the color when I see it in person, I'll switch to Gun Metallic.

AlaskaPaul · 08-10-2012, 02:25 PM

The color (and the wheels) are growing on me.

nmjaxx9 · 08-10-2012, 02:59 PM

I like the midnight blue and I want a set of the '13 Nismo wheels. They look good in graphite.

^ I see a nice Midnight Blue Nismo conversion in the future with the '13 Nismo wheels!!!

Finally, the Nissan Project 370Z was completed.

Don't know why it took so long to announce this if the car was unveiled last May @ ZdayZ.....

Below are some of the performance enhancements given as part of the Stage 1 build, IMO they could have done better with exhuast & suspension..

1. Greddy Twin Turbo kit, a
2. Greddy Ti-C catback exhaust,
3. KW Variant 3 coil-over suspension
4. StopTech Big Brake kit.

Actual place card for Project Z located @ Nissan HQ located in TN

In any case output improved from 332 hp to 500 hp !!!!!

But unfortunately it appear that it will never go into production... ;(

Would any of you trade in your current "Z" or buy this Z if it went into production ?

Sooo if old performance parts such as CAI, HFC, etc... were to fit on on a 2009-2012. It should be no problem on the 2013 right?

Hey guys, I just read this on Nissan's site about the sport brake package

"Balance doesn't just apply to cornering. Bringing the powerful Z® to a halt are its largest brakes ever - available 14" front rotors, with the gripping power of 4-piston front calipers. Purpose-designed ducting helps to reduce fade and provide predictable and precise stopping power."

Did they actully plumb cooling hoses to the brakes now? Can someone confirm this? I know there is a DIY & stillens kit, but it sounds like it's now factory.

Just ordered my 2013 (hard to believe but there were no Touring 6spd Black on Black in Northern CA).

Was anyone ever able to confirm if the 2013 Sport Pkgs have stock brake cooling ducts?
