Also a cheap Ford Focus comes with the blind spot mirrors and other low end cars have the blind spot indicators which is a standard safety feature. But Nissan...NO!!!!!

Perhaps Nissan assumes that people who buy Z's know how to drive.

Like Nissan cares what we think..

If they did, they wouldn't give us Oil overheating and fuel starvation...

sonic370 · 07-03-2012, 08:43 PM

because nissan knew the 370 had an oil temp issue but released the car anyway. so they put an oil temp gauge instead of pressure gauge. which every
sports car worth's it's weight has one, but not the 370.... and the clock was a stupid idea. that's what we all need is a clock sitting on the main docking pad...

also loved the way nissan built a imho world class 2 seater around a radio shack
base sound system.... sorry to rant but hey still love my car.........

My 1984 F-150 has a fuel gauge. It's very cool.

Even if they had a oil pressure gauge the stock one probably wouldn't be that great. One is not really needed anyways on a oem na setup. But I recommend one if your running a oil cooler. Plus I love modding so it gives me a reason to buy something,
