2013 Z differences.

synolimit · 07-15-2013, 07:08 AM

Since I've owned my 13 Z I've been noticing a lot of differences. I just wanted a place to put them and for people to add or ask questions if something's changed and ill try to find it out for you. So far I have found...

1. The fuel gauge cluster is black and not grey.
2. There is no rear exhaust hanger on the drivers side in between the mid pipe hanger and the muffler hanger.
3. The front brake lines do not have 2 brass blocks for metal lines to screw into. The line going to the caliper is like the line on the firewall with a metal retaining clip.
4. You can kill the battery and ECU and the windows will roll back up without you having to do anything.
5. Front bumper difference with LEDs... Obviously
6. Rear fog light is red while in previous years they have been tinted grey.
7. Sport wheels are different shape and a light gun metal color instead of bright silver. The rear wheel and tire weighed 53.5lbs. I didn't get to weigh the front but they both might be heavier than older years.
8. Sport red brake calipers.
9. Different radiator over flow bottle with a metal locking radiator cap like the radiator.
10. Modified evap heat shield.

Ill add more later...

The radiator overflow bottle is different.

The washer bottle is smaller (I had the front fascia off over the weekend for installing my Stillen Gen 3 intakes)

So you don't have to alter anything to install the intake anymore with the 2013??

You still need to cut the ducts a bit to get the tubes through the radiator support.

I'm actually kind of surprised no one has tried to work out a swap yet.

Someone out there with a '13 front would rather have a '12 - '09 front and vice versa...

The washer fluid bottle will get in the way of the DRL's, but that can be fixed.

The only modding necessary was the the washer fluid tank. The passenger side LED hits the tank. I had my guys melt the tank down and mold it to the Back of the LED.
