Not exactly sure what he meant by that, but I'm guessing more updates on the 13 than just Euro tuned suspension, rims & caliper color.

Hmm that's quite interesting he said that! I'm curious to see if there's really any other significant differences between the 12' and 13'.

A couple things I noticed that many of you may or may not know, so I'll post anyway. Red brake calipers on the sport pkg only and that center square on the bottom of the rear bumper looks to be a red reflector on all color Z's.

Yeah we know all the differences. Check out the sticky thread.

2013 Nissan 370Z Updates - Just facts, no BS.

• Refreshed front fascia with vertical LED daytime running lights
• Red reflector added to rear fascia (replaces previous black center cover)
• Revised 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels (Sport Package equipped models)
• New 18-inch wheels for 370Z Coupe
• Red-finished brake calipers (Sport Package equipped models)
• Dark-finish fuel gauge trim
• Euro-tuned shock absorbers (Sport Package equipped models) - Probably the same as the Euro GT version. Forum user 'bvl' says, "Traditionally, european cars with sport suspensions are a bit firmer then US sport suspensions."

not liking these stupid little changes, they should of dropped a tiny bit of weight,improved the stereo,improved the drivers vision,soft base brakes that can barely handle the engine.

dmhenderson · 07-13-2012, 08:56 PM

I want those damn red calipers with either nissan or nismo on them. They'd look so much nicer on my '12 mb nismo than the gray ones.

NuffZed · 07-13-2012, 09:07 PM

Some have arrived locally here too. Here are two sports, one PW roadster and a Black Rose (cherry) coupe. Sorry the pics aren't too great...

Can't say I'm a fan of the front either but seeing the wheels now with those calipers I like them better than the first pics I saw.

whoady, Gotta come out of your shell and tell us how you really feel about the front end

Thanks for your well wishes & kind words about the price.

I just came from Miller Nissan, and the salesman tried to sell me 2012 for 45k.

lol.

Let us know about the final price you'll pay!

Beks, the Miller dealer is a

! I hope Fontana gives you a good deal. Will keep you informed on my price, but it will probably take 3-4 weeks longer as I'm going to stick with the Gun Metal order.

Sweet & Congratulation!!! Is it one that they are scheduled to receive shortly or is it a special order that you'll have a long wait like me?

They will have it in September!
I didn't even pay the deposit, lol.
Thanks! Soon to be the proud owner of 2013 haha.

I desperately wanted my car in black rose/cherry but it's not offered in the nismo trim. I'm told a solid paint job runs 7k+? That accurate?

If so, bleh.

New front is fine, but those new sport rims - no thanks.. New NISMO rims (well, new color) = yes please.

Yeah the new darker nismo wheels with the red brakes and bose stereo makes the nismo even better.

Magic Bus · 07-15-2012, 07:14 PM

Sixty, can't go wrong either way. But the blue will have that uniqueness factor for awhile!

buddyZ · 07-16-2012, 02:57 PM

Nissan has the worst paint in the busness though, any blue they have had had peeled or cracked. They only specialize in 50 shades of grey or silver.

I think the Sports Package ones look great, but a base model one with basic calipers and the roadster wheels looks very bad, almost thrown together. The base model 5 spoke rims on previous models should have stayed or at least just re-made the base and touring wheels from 350's like the multispoke 18's and what not.
