I'm with you not feeling those on the base, the base rims just keep getting uglier and uglier. Nissan/Infiniti use to have some pretty sharp OEM rims, not so much now for the most part.

Actually the roadster wheels are quite nice once they are all clean and polished up. The base rims for the 09-12, I didn't quite like.

I tried to like them but I just feel them on the Z not aggressive looking enough, they look like something that should be on a Sentra. The base rims from the 06-08 would be a perfect match!

It looks...softer. I dunno, maybe it has to grow on me. I really like the wheels on the Nismo though.

Yeah that and the fact that they have been used on the roadster already :rofl2:

Thanks for posting up those videos, I dont know, Im not really feeling the new one. Thats just me.

It's almost July now....does anyone have any idea when the 2013's will hit the dealerships? I'm not sure if I should wait or buy the 2012 now?

Hi Red, check out the 2013 Arrivals thread. We are gonna talk about order statuses and ETAs.

so i am a little ticked but whatever the only thing that bothers me is that now the nismo comes with bose audio wtf! the wheel color n the brake color ahhh the little things lol

ouch that hurt im coming from a Mazda RX-8 lol

what are they going to do for you?? i really want bose lol

God that new finish on the nismo wheels looks so good. The black 2013 nismo must look sick..

:iagree:

:iagree: :tup: Just felt something go POP in my pants after seeing these lol. I will definately be starting a wheel trade thread for these soon.

I think I'm in the minority here when I say I really like the new front fascia and wheels of the '13. The front end looks less thrown together than the 9-12. And of course the new colours are amazing! That said, I'm still quite happy with my fangy front.

Also, do people us the terms "zenki" "chuki" and "kouki" to designate minor revisions on the same chassis as people do with AE86s and S chassis?

No man. ####, no man. I believe you'd get your ### kicked for sayin' sumthin' like that, man. :icon17:

I'm in the minority with you too. I like the new front end. The lines just flow better now and the car looks more classic looking. You don't ever hear any of the Nismo owners saying, "I wish my car had fangs." :icon17: Hell, half the people with fangs black them out anyway so you can't see them. I remember back in '09 and '10, fangs were being made fun of.

I also like the new 19" wheels. I read in the Intro section that a new member wrote that the wheels reminded them of flowers...... They remind me if wheels that kick humongous ***. :tup:

And here.... they.... come:

New 2013 Nissan 370Z - in US Area - on Cars.com

4 convertibles in Magnetic Black, Pearl White, and Gun Metallic. :tup:

The new front look is a total improvement. I like the new wheels and the new colors. The car looks better, smoother overall. There is a very good chance I will order a new metallic red or blue one.

Coupe/Sport/7AT just like the one I have now. The more I see my current front end the less I like it.

i thought this was interesting... i read in the japanese press release on their NISMO Z while the out put is still 355PS (350hp) the ECM has been tweaked to improve acceleration and low to mid end torque

Quote:

In the 2012 model to evolve the settings of the ECM, while maintaining the highest output of the previous model, improved torque and acceleration response plus low to medium speed

They must've stolen my throttle table! :icon18:

updated OP

Does the 2013 Base/Sport come with rear foglamp?

They call it a reflector.

I wonder if those LED can be mounted into an Amuse front? Like, if you bought a 2013 and put on the Amuse kit.

OK having no fangs isn't bothering me and doesn't looks bad as I first had thought but those LEDs are not for me........I like the curves on both sides at the front and the added lights take away from that. IMO the LEDs should have been OEM in the headlight in the landing strip if they were going to add any!

OP - cooltoy- for removing and remounting the LEDs into a AMUSE kit, yes it would be possible. Just take out the whole light and be careful to not break them when disconnecting . Instal your kit (make appropriate spot for mounting lights :tup:) put the lights back in and plug in the harness! I am 99.9% sure that they will have a harness and you can just take out the LEDs for just such an event like changing front bumpers etc....

I was thinking of putting them into the side vents on the Amuse.

No, you guys aren't, you're in the silent majority :stirthepot:

I really like the new front, thus I have a 13 sport/pkg on order. Went to look at the new 13's yesterday and they are sweet:tup:

Posted some pics in Gen Discussion area, heading 2013's Arrive In Honolulu

Does the Japanese or Euro Nismo have leather upholstery? Or is that coming to 2013. Or is it just completely fake. I wish the Nismo had a better interior than the base model for the price.

Oh really. Interesting.

?????????Z [ Z ] ????&???????/SUV ? ??????? ? ?????????

Really $ 64, 181.25 for the Nismo??

And you can add Nav for $ 4, 689.75


INTERIOR COLORS:

http://www2.nissan.co.jp/Z/interior.html

And also a 7at is available on the nismo...

it's not completely fake, they have a fully loaded with NAV version for the Nismo. Even before the 2013 model. I'm heck jealous they have the best stuff. They even have a front and rear camera option. :tup:

That's one Nismo I wouldn't mind paying for if they had it over here.

^^I would love to have that Nismo fully optioned like that! I would've bought it if it were offered here. The interior killed it for me in the Nismo is why I didn't get it.

i think manual leather seats are coming to the Nismo? i know new brake cooling hoses for the nismo exclusively as well... pads have been re-redesigned, touring/nismo get an upgraded bose system with 2 extra speakers. not sure about nav pkg... nismo gets the smoked rim treatment as well. i think the nismo will be the most desireable Z in 13 model for current Z owners looking to trade... it makes the most economical sense if trading.

IF the nismo gets leather I'm going for it. If not I think I'll stick to touring...

Actually from what I read, the Nismo has the least amount of upgrades so why would it be the most desired upgrade over older Z's? Assuming only what was in the press releases. gun metal wheel color and SS brake lines.

US nismo doesn't get leather.

The 2013 Z is now on the nissanusa.com website.:tiphat:
