not much i can complain about cept

1. front seatbelts hard to get to (unless u ride gangsta)

2. Clutch on the 6MT, catches late and feels a bit light for my tasting. can be easily fixed though

+/- ATTRACTS ATTENTION

most favorite stuff: 19" FORGED wheels, indash 6cd changer, engine power, ride quality, exhaust note

easily outweighs the minor things i could complain about

1. it weights too much I wish its lighter, and gets the 300hp engine, not 298.
2. I dont like the monotone orange dash lights. I wish it was more colorful and has blue in it.
3. I wish its lighter
4. I wish its lighter
5. I wish its lighter

A sport coupe should feel like a wideout running around in traffic, I feel like a Linebacker when i, driving

The auxiliary power function is useless if you open your door to get out too soon. Oftentimes I will forget that my sunroof is in the tilt position and when I get out I see it. I then have to turn the ignition on again to close it. I wish that the auxiliary power remained on until you locked the doors from the outside.

Oh and don't leave your keys in the car- the auto lock feature will leave you screwed unless the keys are actualyl in the ignition.

And finally, you have to disconnect tor shoulder from the rest of your body to get to the seatbelt if the extender is not in up position.

I experimented with the first one and my car wouldn't lock itself when left the key and the keyfob in there. (I had the valet key to get it out before anyone says anything).

Also, if the extender isn't up, reach over with your right hand and it is easy to get, don't do it with your left.

-Steering angled...
-Seats to Narrow (Made Cheap)
-Rear negative camber costing uneven tire wear
-Tire size limited availability
-Notchy shifter
-That Button behind the seat that allows electronic move forward bet does not go back...

The lack of NISMO parts seems like a fairly common gripe.

NISMO offers headers, Y-pipe, rear-section exhaust (even if it requires a small mod), intake, cams, valve springs & retainers, flywheel, clutch, LSD, sway bars, springs & struts, wheels, a body kit and a variety of misc. accessories. That seems to cover the basics and I know I'm forgetting some items.

I understand the Nismo catalog for cars such as the last 300ZX TT are extensive, however, that's an older car AND bolt-ons produce something significant. With the big items (plenum, forced-induction, etc.) being offered elsewhere, and knowing they wouldn't be covered by warranty if Nismo did offer them, what are the Nimso items people are left wishing for the most?

NISMO Parts

I loved my Coupe, but memory seats, and more trunk space would have been great.

I hate it when I park it so far away that I'm sure no one will park next to it and ding it, only to return an hour later with cars parked one foot away from it on each side....so aggravating


Does anybody else get paranoid about where you park it because it attracts so much attention?

1. the seatbelt
2. the RATTLES@
3. Road noise from the rear wheels (going over pebbles or sand)
4. Gas mileage in the city
5. Bad stereo display for XM radio or MP3 CD
6. The CREASING LEATHER on the bottom side of the seats
7. The automatic seat slide thing to get in the back

Theres prolly a few more, bu thats it for me. I LOVE my car btw, just some annoyances.

lack of memory on the seats

more horses would be nice but can do

the fact that I got an Automatic instead of manual, and I guess the last statement would change with 05 manual

Its a bit too high, height of car, not height away from ground im scared of every bump and curb but i guess thats what makes the car so have so much room

louder exhaust system but with that same purrr...

soft paint

seats move to slow

blind spot

Its a perfect car....i Luv every inch and corner of this car. I'm asking for too much. Best damn car in the world and there is nothing wrong with it. Looking at this car everyday reminds me of how lucky I am. I have nothing to complain about.

Can't believe I forgot the roar from the tires at highway speeds. No biggie with the windows down (or partially down), but with them up the road noise is pretty F'n bad, especially the noise making it's way in from the front tires. Pretty bad, considering you can't hardly hear the exhaust or anything else with the windows up.
