Hmmm, rear window wiper...

For US$51,652, damn!

That's cheap,i bought mine @ S$155,000.

Remember the Aus spec car comes as a Touring Sport w/Nav, the only thing it is missing is the sport wheels ... who knows why.

Cars in Australia are 25-30% more expensive, as they are in Europe. We really get a bargain in the US (on all cars).

Since they get touring/sport (with nav), do they have the upgraded brakes? And the 18s fit around them?

Yes. They just fit.

Wow, that IS expensive! 155,000.00 SGD = 105,714.59 USD

We are privileged in many ways...

Cars in U.S. is real cheap,imagine you paid a top spec 370z at US$40,000[=S$60,000],for this amount,i can only get a 2L Korean saloon,not even a 2L Toyota Camry.!

Are you 100% that we actually get an upgraded brake package. Stuff me if I'll buy this without the 19" - Nissan Oz are a bunch of numb-nuts, offering a 370Z without even an option of getting 19" - just defeats the purpose, car looks pretty shyte with the original 18" rims IMHO.

I understand your sentiments about not being able to have the 19" rims as an option, but if you don't believe him regarding the upgraded brakes fitting the 18" rims, why don't you just go to the Nissan Australia website and look at the car? Or would that be too logical? :rolleyes:

Here's a screenshot from the Nissan Australia site. (I'll save you the effort seeing how I'm already there checking it myself.)

Those would be the same brakes we get in the US as part of the 'sports package'.

There's nothing all that great about the large brakes anyway. Better fade resistance my a$$, my 13" rotors and single piston calipers on my G35 sedan resisted fade better than these "sport brakes". Apparently they dropped the Brembo's for cost concerns, but whichever engineer designed this replacement Akebono system seriously dropped the ball on performance.

^^^ disagree completly

He gave it 7.5 / 10. I think it deserves higher. It's a pity the 19" aren't even available as an option. What is it with Japanese cars having no options?

I completely Disagree!!! I changed my brake fluid to super blue DOT4 and took the car to lil tally which is notorious for killing brakes and these brakes were phenomenal!!! I mean I was 4th gear 105mph and waitng til the 2nd to last cone to brake and the car would stop on a dime!!!! I mean my passengers were commenting on how they were gonna have bruises from the seat belt it stopped so hard.

The brakes are amazing I cant wait to see what the aftermarket ones can do!:happydance:
