Things you may not know about your Z...

[lushuZpnai]

Post anything and everything that you know about the Z that you think people may not know about. It don't matter if it can be found in the owner's manual, some of us don't have all the time in the world, some don't have the patience, or some just didn't get the owner's manual.

So have at it, and share your knowledge.

***Thanks to redsx13 for the great idea.

Gotta love that carbon fiber.

Molybdenum-coated pistons, a low friction metal compound with a high temperature tolerance. Also, the 2003-2005 track editions have front and rear diffusers hidden within the front and rear bumper. It lowers the coefficient of drag by .01 (.29 for the track models and .30 for the other trims).

Theres 26 letters in the alphabet but there's only one Z.

...?

This is a good one that not many know the performance and track models along with the nismo, Have different cams than all other models they feel faster because they come from the factory with a more aggressive cam lobe than the rest!i found out because i sell nissan parts, but my baby is a touring

Half of the two front speaker covers are solid. Drill the rest of the holes and you'll get better sound out of your stock system. Don't know why only half of the "holes" are actually holes.

Don't quote the number, but I believe if you look around the car you can find the letter "Z" about 17 different times.

[Anthonysflying]

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the Z motor made by Renault?

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the Z motor made by Renault?

no, renault is involved at a corperate level, I don't think we get any crossover bits in the US

[Anthonysflying]

I have always read that the VQ series was Renault developed but was produced and improved upon by Nissan.
