Favorite Minor Feature On Your Z

Does anybody with the nav use the seeped wiper option?

There is a setting which will speed up the wipers the faster you go and slow them down as you slow down. The default setting when the car is purchased is to have this option shut off.

The TPS sensors that the 06 350 had and the digital speedo that the 350 had.....oh wait.

YES! I was so bummed when I found out my 370 had LESS cool features than my 350.

And don't forget the oil pressure gauge.

I have always wanted to write a letter to Nissan and ask them why they like to take away features that most car companies add in the newer models. I mean there is no reason to remove the dang TPS sensors and the digital speedo. I know it wasn't the best, but the 370 should have had an even better one. I love the Z and Nissan but come on!

Personally I am glad it does not have a digital speedo. I think it gives it a sportier feel. I do not like luxury style sports cars with plush & all the gadgets, that is why I love the Z. I like the raw noisy feel of the car & the kinda of less is more type of approach in options.
While I can understand a lot of people who daily drive their Z's may see plenty of short comings, I did not buy mine for this purpose. I really wish I could get away from TPMS all together, but do to living in an ever growing Nanny state of a county were stuck with it until the end of days.

But hey that's just me. YMMV

The vibrating knob to let you know the power is there.

I understand that point of view for sure. I just hate drivin by a state trooper thinking to myself "Ok I was somewhere between 70 and 80." I like being able to glance and know my exact speed but that's just me. I guess coming from the 350, I was spoiled with it.

One of my favorite minor features that hasn't been covered yet is the fang insert on the 09-12. Gives you a great place and mounting points for a front brake cooling kit like the one that Stillen makes. It was almost like Nissan designed it for just that purpose.

I love the startup sequence on the start button... "Lock... ACC... On..." makes me feel like a fighter pilot haha

GaleForce · 07-06-2013, 07:16 AM

This is a great question. I was thinking about this for a couple of days. My favourite minor feature is...

The "fangs" in the front bumper.

I like the gauge sweep at start up and how they just glow and all drop to the 6 o'clock position when you turn off the car. Also like the Z side markers and of course the intelli key. I haven't owned a car with a key in 6 years and can't go back!

My 05 Titan still has the key with the FOB that you have to press to unlock the doors. If it weren't all paid up and in just perfect shape mechanically and aesthetically, and the fact that I am still paying for my Z and a new Altima now, I might consider swapping it out for a new Titan with the Intelli-Key... I actually have to make a conscious effort to think about what I'm supposed to do to start up my Titan now... I am so spoiled...LOL!
