Am I missing something, or other than black wheels, all Nissan did for the non-Nismo Z was restructure how they define various option packages...? :confused:

Am I the only one who feels like BT isn't needed in a sports car? I know forums are always full of everyone's wants but what is practical. I read about people wanting more electronics but then the same people want the car lighter. You can't have your cake and eat it as well. I don't own a Z yet but will be purchasing one in October. The first thing I'm doing is ripping the radio and speakers out. The Z will be my sports car. The car I drive for fun and excitement. The last thing I want to be doing whilst hitting the winding back roads is be on my telephone.

I agree with you on BT, but that doesn't mean I don't want to listen to music while driving :tup:

If you just want to rip the backroads in a shell with wheels then why are you getting a Z? I'm not being sarcastic.

I'm definitely not a general conscious and I am far from normal when it comes to the Z heritage. I've wanted a Z since I was 13, now I'm 24 and about to get one. I want to hear that engine purrrrrr. I want to hear those sexy exhaust notes. I want to hear all the crap road noise New Orleans has to offer me.

I don't want a shell, I want a Z. What do I want in MY Z? A lot less weight and a lot less distractions. I really don't need music to make me comfortable in a car I've waited over 10 years to own.

You can have your cake and eat it too. Buy an FRS and drop in an LS motor. Lighter than the Z and depending on the engine, more power. If the weight distro is off, just add a couple subs, you'll still probably come in lighter than our cars.


We can debate on the best engine swap later...

Dude you're hardcore. LOL I'm getting back in a Z next year. I'm from NO and I don't know of any good roads; only roads that'll rip the underside of the car apart. I'll try to hit you up when I'm visiting family.

I'm with you on this one. When I lived in Germany, I lost count how many times I drove to and from work with the radio off. It wasn't really intentional, but as soon as I heard the VQR5HR with my Nismo CAI, Nismo CB, with Berk HFCs, there was nothing else I cared to listen to.

That's what I am talking about man. 3 things. You, the car, the road. That's it unless you have a wife then 4. LoL.

Yeah, but it's hard to focus on the road when the wife is screaming in terror at every sweeping turn you take :tup:.

My wife won't ride my Banshee because she hates speed. That and the first time she got on it, I knew she hated to go fast so of course I went through every gear as fast as I possibly could. She cried, I laughed. That is why she's getting the rock crawler and I'm getting a Z. A little side note though, is when we're rock crawling I'm shaking like a woman and she's ballsy. Get us on the road and it's the opppsite. Kind of ironic.

I guess the new base radio isn't to bad. Better looking than my pre 15 base radio. I wonder if the specs are any better?

cool, at least you can now listen to usb on a flash drive directly lol
welcome to 2005?

Same old **** just different looks. I am however pleased that they added bluetooth. LOL my 2014 no bluetooth in the 21st century.

Imo I am a fan of the bone raw trim. Sure the BT is nice but if you are talking on the phone you are driving too slow:driving:

To be fair I do have a 2012 sport touring not that I use the BT

HAHAHHAHAHA!!! i wish my 2013 Z have that radio... i feel like my radio looks and work like this

yah, just go aftermarket. :icon17: luving my pioneers. :p

know want your garage and your pioneers :stirthepot:

:icon18:

i will probably swap my HU once more before im done with my Z, just to
keep up with the technology and cool factor. :p

i see the usb button, but no usb port?

hahahah great idea bro!!:tup:

yah,usually the usb flash drive connects in the glove box or the center console. :D

Pioneer aftermarket hu for tha win!

Yep, looks like they also relocated the AUX connection also.
Probably hid all the inputs into the center console area to help reduce clutter.

I just needed to leave this here.

Dont know but... more than i see it... more then i like it :tup:

But still preferred with the actually Nismo wing

I had the exact same car as you, loved the performance and driving feel of it, hated everything else for the raping I took buying a '13 in early '13.

This is THE best looking, stock 370 yet. Love the new redesign.

same here bro!! love my Z and everything about him... in the future im going to install a new radio and thats it lool....

Some of us drive autos fella :roflpuke2:
