I love the excuse to spend time detailing my car due to the amazing paint Nissan have given us

now i get it :tup:

:iagree: Well said. I loved my 350, but sat in my buddies 2008 after I got the 370...I questioned how I could ever have liked that interior. It seemed so dull and boring compared to ours. I do love the interior very much.

It might sound like a dumb one but I do really like having the extra chargeport under the glovebox that passengers can use while my other is occupied. I thought it was pretty neat the first time i saw it.

Garmin just announced that they're coming out with a HUD similar to this. It's a box that you place on your dash and I think there's also a special film you have to apply to the inside where it projects the HUD. The box then connects to your phone via bluetooth and you have to use either the Garmin Street pilot or Navigon nav apps to feed the HUD turn by turn and other data.

As for my minor features that I appreciate:

1) Auto-dimming rearview mirror. This is one of my absolute favorites, having never had one before. It makes night driving so much more comfortable. Now if only the side mirrors also dimmed.

2) The preamp automatically raises/lowers the volume of your music slightly as you speed up/slow down. It's subtle but it works well most of the time. Note: This is for 2009 touring with bose and non-nav. I'm not sure if all models have this.

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.

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)

#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!

Oh no!!! Sorry but I just not into that type stuff. Call it getting too old or something.




I completely agree. When I sat in one I fell in love with the cockpit. The car just fit for me. I look at it this way. I can't see myself driving the car so even if it looks cool outside, if I don't feel for it on the inside it just doesn't work for me. I'm big on old school gauges not idiot lights & such. Then having the ability to sling the car around corners. I'm not a straight line speed guy, I live for the canyons on bikes & the Z. For me it's all about the twist & turns & being able to rail them. ;)

I really like the dancing gauges on startup too

Is the 155 MPH electronic limit easily overridden? Anyone know what the true top speed is without the limiter?

I don't believe there is an electronic limiter. My understanding is the 370Z is aerodynamically drag limited to 156 mph.

Ive done 160 with plenty of room to spare.

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

Electronically limited to 155.

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

:)

Nissan 370Z Part 3: Performance Review- OnCars

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.

Not on the Nismo, thank God!

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

2010 Nissan 370z 0-175 mph on the autobahn, hitting pretty much the top speed. Car is stock

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

... (Not sure if serious joker face)...

That's the fakest thing I've seen for a while...

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

must be nice to have a stock car that redlines at 8K... nice video game clip :ugh2:

I thought the stock ecu limited speed well below 175?

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

Tints! Aftermarket but still keeps the creeper from looking in :icon17:

My current favorite feature is the auto headlights. I've had the car since the beginning of the year, but only started using the feature a few weeks ago.

The problem I have with the auo headlights is since I keep my car in the garage, every time I start the car, in the garage, the lights go on and then off as soon as I back out into the daylight. This is needless wear and tear on the expensive headlight bulbs, so I quit using the auto feature. Is there any way for me to get around this?

No

OEM Headlight bulbs are CHEAP since so many people change theirs out. My worry is more the ballast, but whatever...

Wait you can turn off the headlights? Mine is on 24/7, except when I start the engine in daylight and leave the e-brake on.

Yup. My stalk has settings for OFF-AUTO-INTERMITTENT-ON

probably not in canada

It looks like neither of you are Canadia natives

Exactly, in Canadia, DRL is a law, you cannot import a car without modifying it to have DRLs

I apologize for not knowing the law in some tiny country full of crazies on the other side of the planet :ugh2:

Do we need to burn down Washington DC again?
