Lol, I hate both of those features, I turn the dimmer off as soon as I get in, and the speaker thingy would be nice if it increased volume smoother vs making small jumps (yes, I am that anal about it)

To each his own I guess, but why would you hate the auto-dimming? It makes no difference that I have noticed during the day and it cuts down on super bright lights and saves your eyes at night.

I'm with you. I will never own a car without one.

For the same reason I don't wear sunglasses while driving.
I want the rawness of driving, I want to know what car is behind me, I want to know that the guy is being a Dbag and high beaming me, lol

If I want to check out the chick in the car next to me, I want her to see my eyes are checking her out.

3) How fast the car both cools down and heats up. It's probably mostly due to the small interior space, but it works really well. It cools the cabin on a hot summer day about 3x faster than any other car I've been in.

#2) Not on 2013 base models. Had this feature on my 04 G35 Coupe & enjoyed it.
#3) Yes. Nissan has good A/C's on their sports cars, my above G35 was excellent as well. GTR Forum members say exactly the same thing.

With how crazy hot and humid it got in our area all the sudden, #3 is a big plus!

I think you need a tune to eliminate it. Not sure what the Z is drag limited to

Sh0velMan · 07-10-2013, 12:43 PM

My favorite minor feature is the built-in oil pre-heater.

Why would they be driving a car with mph in Germany. Would it not be kph?

Chuck33079 · 07-11-2013, 06:59 AM

I thought the stock ecu limited speed well below 175?

I was corrected and informed that it is electronically limited at 155 mph
