Feature differences on Base vs Sport vs Touring on 7AT.

Its $3030 in the states for the sport pkg.. There's the Nissan Cars, Trucks, Crossovers, & SUVs | Nissan USA website I posted right here before and I'm posting it again so you don't have to misinform people. Invoice price is about 2700.

To answer why it is a must. The tire and wheel setup bring the Z from .94g on the base model to approx 1g. The Lsd Is good for aggressive street and light track. Anything more it needs to be replaced. The rims are made by Rays Engineering, Japan's Premeire wheel maker. Aftermarket the rims alone are $540 each. The RE50A rubber around the Rays wheels are worth about $1400. Throw in a LSD and you saved a decent amount of cash. But it doesn't stop there...
Though the brakes need a brake cooling mod for heavy tracking, as well as new pads rotors and brake lines. They are extremely capable on the street. The Z has the shortest stopping time of all the affordable sports cars. 60-0 in 102ft. (103ft for 2009 &10models). On street duty, they never fade and the only mod necessary for street is the steel brake lines which can be bought through Z1 for about $115 give or take a few bucks.
For the track they will need a little more but its still very cost effective... Even with having to put about a grand in mods to the brakes for track excluding the brake cooling duct. Performace rivals. $4-5k brembo and stoptech brakes and are well worth the money and a little upgrading elbowgrease...
So $3030 gets you 14" 4 piston Akebono brakes, Rays Engineering (owns Volk) ultralightweight aluminum wheels 19x9F 19x10R and wrapped with high end rubber. You get the good for street LSD and a great look for your car. The stock wheels are highly unimpressive on this car.

So why are steel brake lines "necessary" for street use?

Streetlife

I was wondering the same thing, i heard of them being used for the track, not a necessity for the street. I heard that brake peddle feel is better with stainless steel, but not that dramatic, if so i'll order them right now? My z is supposed to be here by the end of the month.

To me, the pedal feel is much better. I don't know how dramatic you need the improvement to be but for me, I think its an awesome mod. But I have full mods on the brakes so the improvement is greater for me. Besides why would you want flexing in your lines??? Its just a great mod to ensure long term reliability.

Sport package is honestly the best bargain for 3k. You are getting so much it would cost you more to do it yourself. Figure just the 19 inch rims and the Bridgestone Potenzas alone are expensive. I really think if Nissan was really cruel they could've charged I think 5k for the option.

but for $5k the brake cooling issue can't be there.

I got the 2019 Z with the sport package and 6M transmission and I consider the sport pkg a great bargain for what you're getting. The 19" Rays wheels are pretty light, 23 lbs, for 19" wheels and I can live with them until I sell them when it comes time for new rubber. The price I would get for them would put a serious dent in the price of the ultra-lightweight Volks racing wheels I would eventually get.

the sport brake works quite well for normal street driving.
