Do I have sport pkg?

Dub370z

Well, I spent the whole day at the dealer trying to figure out why the non sport caliper and smaller rotor was on my car cause I found out my Z do have VLCD cause I tried that test with the one wheel in the air and one on the ground. After a few hours, they found the sport caliper and bigger rotor was in a box..in the back in the parts department...wow. They put on the bigger rotor for me and the caliper and I'm a happy camper now. Lol, thanks for the help guys!

i'm confused. glad your happy..

but i would be wondering how the cheaper or smaller brakes got on there in the first place.. did you buy car brand new 0 miles.....

sounds like someone jacked with your ride.. and were going to sale the bigger brakes out the back door.................

Sounds like your dealership is full of ****, swapped out the sport package calipers w/ non-sports and wanted to make a little extra money on the side.

But, that's just me.

Did you buy used or new? If new, they come out of the shipping containers ready to sell minus some things (like the NISMO suspension blocks or whatever they are). No need to swap calipers or anything stupid.

They just HAPPENED to find a box with the brakes in the back???

Either one of the tech's tried to pull a fast one so he could sell/install the brakes on a non-sport or the dealership itself is crooked and was going to offer it as an option to a non-sport...

There is a good chance they tried to swap them on your car to finalize a deal with someone buying a non-sport model.

Call/write Nissan ASAP.

Congrats though! Still check for the LSD ASAP though just incase.

awesome! good to hear you got this resolved.

honestly i thought sport packages come out of the factory with everything less the front diffuser installed.

Montez

That would be correct........

Holy crap this is scary! This is why you research the vehicle immensely before buying especially if you're dropping so much money. Its scary to think a dealership would do that to someone

Glad you got everything worked out

Someone was mucking about with your Z's brakes. The dealership first told you that you had the "Sport without the brake upgrade", but then magically found a box in the back with your parts. That's BS. Something fishy was definitely going on here, as others have said.




kenchan makes a good point though . . .

Check to make sure you got the other parts that your Z was supposed to come with.

1. All 370Z's come with a pair of small diffusers that sit in front of the front tires that are dealer-installed. Lie down on the ground in front of your car. There should be a black plastic thing hanging down in front of each wheel. If they're not there and not in a plastic bag in your trunk, call the dealer.
2. The Sport package models come with additional front chin deflector. Make sure this installed. As I do not have a Sport, I can't describe exactly what it is, so you may have to browse around here to find a pic (or, I'm sure someone will chime in).
3. You do have the 19" RAYS wheels, right? Maybe I missed it earlier in the thread, but that and the presence of a spoiler are the easiest visual way to distinguish a Sport from a Non-Sport. At least on a brand-new Z. Wheels are easily swapped, of course.
4. And on that note, you've got a spoiler, right? From the factory; no Spoiler, no Sport

Can you expand on that more?
There is supposed to be a bag with what in them inthe trunk?
And in a bag hanging in the front wheel wells?

Just need this explained a little more, I'm going to check when I get home. What exactly is supposed to be there?

Are these spares/backups?

kenchan

you're talking about the deflectors. im talking about the diffuser. 2 very different things.
