My mate and I are both holding of our purchase, and this is based solely on the lack of 19" - simple as that, so Nissan can keep advertising their 50+ unsold 370's on the web, bunch of numbskulls.

Getting Bridgestones Potenza's in that size or any other size is not a problem at all. Keep in mind for legal reasons you must use Australian certified tyres in Australia. Fitting US ones would be the quickest way to make your car unroadworthy.


Good point...The 370Z will be tested on TopGear Oz this coming Monday 15/06, so we'll see what times they get. I hope they launch it properly and not just roll it off the line.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll definitely be watching then.

I think they will give the car a great review. Just wanted to see how much worse can it be against the R35 on the lap list. I hope it at least beat the jaguar SV8 on the list....maybe I will be disappointed....we'll see...

With Nissan coming 3rd LAST on the customer survey here in Oz, last being GM-Holden and 2nd last Ford, then I'm not surprised we all on this forum have a very similar opinion when it comes to Nissan's customer approach and what options we get/don't get.

I wonder how Mazda can do such a great job - they won the customer survey, shame the RX-8GT is such a slow car though.

Did Top Gear Australia give the 370Z a good review? I missed the first half of the show :shakes head:

Yeah they did - they liked everything about it except for the sound, and the rear vision. They didn't mention anything about the smaller wheels.

I just watched it. Pretty good review. The rear vision is definitely an issue but an aftermarket camera could probably be added. And rear sensors are on the accessory list. I didn't think they would mention the wheels.

Yeah rear sensors are a must... In think in motor mag (or caradvice.com.au) they did mention the lack of options as being a negative for the car.... and also the engine sound... but we get ours quieter here than in the states I believe... thats what an aftermarket exhaust is for :p

It's been getting pretty poor 0-100 times though :(

I think the rear sensors should be enough coz I know it is not easy to see clearly with the rear camera anyway. Sometimes you mite hit the car with the help of the camera.

I was impressed with the 370z's time around the GTA track. I thought it was going slower than the EVO X. I think the time could even be better if it wasn't windy that day they did the test.

Do you know if the rear sensors come in the body colour, or are they black?

Also, the tire sizes are the same as on the 350z, which I guess explains why the 0-100 times are only marginally faster (5.5s versus 5.7s - difference of 3.5%). The 370z doesn't really have that much more power (just over 6%), or torque (about 1%) and weighs only slightly less (1%), so the we really shouldn't expect the 370z to be noticeably quicker.

Sensors matches the body colour. I thought it's going to be ugly....but in fact it looks ok...

Anyone got a pic with the sensors on? I also thought it would look ugly.

POTM, are you buying a Z?

I was about to order mine on the 2nd of May, but I thought I better read some comments on the forums from somewhere about the car first. After I discovered all the problems I am thinking to get the possible upgraded version. But now, the feeling to get the car is decreasing. Maybe I shouldnt read this forum after all....lol.

It's got similar weight with a bit more power but the gearing is a lot different now - for the better so technically it should be a lot faster....
