I love how they start popping out... ahahha that's awesome

do you give lessons? :bowrofl:

:rofl2:

you bite your tounge!


:stirthepot:

Eh, I'd say 98% of the VQ37vhr (IE. pretty much every Infiniti) on the road are managed by the transmission in D and the owners couldn't care less

No paddle shifters on this car, and this guy can get girls.

;)

oh ea?

well this guy can take that other guy to school in a 7AT :tiphat:

OUCH! :mad:

:rofl2:

I need to find a big a$$ parking lot like that. :driving:

And no girl. I guess MT and AT drivers are different in this matter. As Seinfeld said "Not that there is anything wrong with it." :rofl2:

With brake light switch mod no doubt. And also new tranny needed after.

i dont think so actually.

i have no problems spinning tire with just VDC off and the tranny is built for the power and will handle this. if i could find a parking lot liek this and had my tires closer to dead i would happily go make a demo video for you lol

Totaly in for the video. The search is on. Is there an abandoned airport around you?

Go :driving:... wear out your tires...

Make sure you have that girl... or any girl just as gorgeous as that girl.

:yum:

That would be cool.

somehow my RE-11s still got plenty of life after about 10k miles plus 1.4 mile runs so i dont see this happening soon lol

i do plan on new tires in spring regardless sooooo maybe i'll roast these ones off then. i still got another month of driving until the Z goes away for winter hibernation.

Do you have a gopro? I have a silver edition. I might be able to find a decent camera to do a video with as well. I may also be able to lay my hands on some decent video editing software too. We could make it a MAZOC event and get more than one car going. This could be the driving event that jlw2546 thought we don't do much of ...

mazoc doesn't do alot of driving events.

i dont think steve will go for something of this nature lol

i do not have a gopro although ive been getting begged by people to get one and do exhaust videos.

I am shocked that Nissan would do this to the 2015, I mean how much of a savings could it really be anyway?

I'm sure it's an easy modification considering that the other trim levels have the paddles

We are going to start calling you tripod from here on.

Would Steve use the "hoonigan" word?

doubtful.

i mean i can do a dance for him and see what i can get out of him lol :tiphat:

It just proves how many people have sports cars for show. These types of threads should be reserved for people who are in the 150mph+ club.

i know im late to the game here, but im willing to bet they can be retrofitted easily. too bad i sold my spare paddles i had laying around!!

the G37 journey people add paddles relatively easily. i believe fontana nissan sells the entire kit with paddles for ~400. pretty simple DIY as well

You don't need paddles to manually shift the automatic, you can still use the shift selector. You just move it over to the left and shift away.

apparently some people like to drive with BOTH hands on the wheel. :driving:

Then again I like to demonstrate to my mother 'LOOK MOM NO HANDS!'

:inoutroflpuke:

hmmmm now you gave me an idea for a new thread lol :stirthepot:

my car has never seen actual "automatic/ D" mode.

everytime i get in my car its 1, 2, 3. start button, VDC off, manual mode.

regular daily commute and normal driving i use the shifter select

track/drag strip/back road or dragon driving - all get the paddles.

i love the fact i have the option of either. its much more comfortable with the shift knob for just normal driving and has the old feel of a manual driving position and yes i find myself accidentally moving my left foot at times lol

actually that is the only thing i dont like about the GTR is that its paddles only lol :stirthepot:

lol it's like that when I hop into my parent's car. It was awkward because I stomped down and was like WTF MY CLUTCH IS GONE?!?!?!?!

Maybe I'm not making myself clear. Yes, my Z has seen the Red Line, I just don't think I've hit it without using the paddles.

Did you floor it? Every Nissan/Infiniti 7AT vehicle I've driven hits redline just fine without paddles.

Do it in the wifes car all the time. Luckily I have never hammered the brakes... Which means I will this weekend some time.

At least you get air, I used to catch the break all the time. It's funny when people are in the car and look at me like WTF?!

If you guys feel gutsy go drive one of those CVT's. My wifes Sentra drives me nuts when I drive it. GO DAMMIT!!!!

2008 Hyundai Elantra ... jus' sayin'

My 2014 7AT hits the redline while in auto real easy.

i dont know who actually going to get a base model. i have my 2012 auto 370z works good with 2 piece plastics, >.< legs doesnt support me any manual drive no more. sucks.
but this new nismo looking is a beast.

That's what I noticed too. I guess its normal. LOL.

Nissan restructured the option range for the 370Z to do a couple things:

1) get the baseline price point the lowest they can get it for marketing.
2) make the NISMO version make more sense to buy for the enthusiast.
3) sell more sport packages

If you notice, a sport touring combo is no longer available. If you want premium seating, you have to opt for the NISMO version and its Recaros. To make up a bit for the aging tech available in the car, they've completely eliminated the Bose radio with the 6 disc changer (notice there is a new base head unit, and the only upgrade is the tech package for any other trim and that includes full navigation), and the base radio is available with Bluetooth calling and USB input for media. (this also consolidates steering wheel options and reduces cost - now any non-NISMO Z uses the same steering wheel controls)

finally - removing the paddles from a base 7AT is smart. there are buyers out there that would pay the premium for the sport package just to get the paddles. meanwhile, you offer an automatic version of the car for the very low $30k range for sports car buyers that might well buy a Z simply based on looks (like Roadster buyers, for example - they'll pay $50k for a Z vert instead of a Corvette Stingray)

I personally think the base NISMO is very well priced in the Z range for what you get, especially when you compare it to the 2009 option range. Think about it - Sport + Touring drivers are all over this forum. If any of us were to buy a similarly equipped 2015 Z, the obvious choice is the NISMO. It's the same price as what a 2013 sport touring sold for, and only slightly more than a 2014 sport touring after the price drop.

I think the way the 370Z is optioned for 2015 is better than it has ever been.

The stick is fine for manual up and down shifts...

Or because it is faster than the M/T and much more easy going in traffic, whereas the OEM shifter and clutch on the M/T is notoriously not great and the CSC is prone to failure.

MINOR DETAILS. Do not hex my 6MT with your CSC witchcraft!

I feel a storm brewing.

Go feel things elsewhere. ;)

soooo... why do I feel like this thread grew by like 6 pages and it happened all before my post that originally subscribed me to this thread... is it because I R NOOB?
