Do I have sport pkg?

Steering lock? How do I go and find out where that is?

Montez · 06-12-2012, 04:05 PM

Easiest thing to do is call Nissan customer service give them your VIN or go to a dealership and have them look it up.

was just a joke.

2012's nissan stopped using the dreaded steering locks due to random failure on previous model years. you can check by turning the steering while the car is off.

What's vslcd?

Well the good news is that it would be easy to install the sport brakes and you could probably find a set for under 1k on the forum... try the VLSD test (wonder if it would work since it isn't a real LSD but worth a shot).

I am sure OP can identify (with the help of the dealership) what a spoiler looks like and what the 19" wheels look like.

He also stated he has smaller calipers and rotors than other cars with the sport package.

Is VLSD...

viscous limited-slip differential

Well if he actually does have the sport package, then he would have the SRM? If no SRM & no big brakes, then no sport package. I would think that one who is buying a car would know exactly what the options are.

kenchan · 06-12-2012, 07:46 PM

If that was MT then yes there would be a srm sw.

If the rear end/pumpkin is black, than non-sport; if silver than sport.

The aero bits (rear spoiler, front chin spoilers...) on the sports pack are available to non-sport Zs as the aero package. I believe all the 7-speed autos downshift-rev-match, so the only giveaway would be the open rear-diff, and checking the VIN.

Dub370z · 06-12-2012, 08:48 PM

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!

sonic370 · 06-12-2012, 08:56 PM

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.................

Dub370z · 06-12-2012, 09:00 PM

It had only 24 miles on it. They didn't have a reason why it was off it and why the smaller brakes was on it. I asked them a couple of time also but no reason. Told them to check the brakes and rotors again to see if it's damage or anything was wrong with them, they check and put it on my car. They drove around with it and I was in the car, seems fine to me though.
