Isn’t the Nismo USA system made by Borla? Will be interesting to see how this new system is different. Same as the intake being an AMS rebrand.
I was keen on the Nismo Japan exhaust but had heard that it’s not much of an improve on the stock systems due to Japanese noise regulations, & if...
Have been thinking the same, although I wonder if US features like Nissan Connect, Sirius XM etc might make it harder to get working here.
Personally I reckon a good thing to chase from a US wreck could be the AT (louder) exhaust.
My thoughts, at least the good thing with Z is we've got a spread of demographics with the car going from 240Z to the current gen. It's a good scene & mix of people to be around vs some other cars.
Congrats! Nice time of the year to get it. I've seen a few posts re: exhausts on the AU Facebook sites for the new Z so it might be worth posting there too (I haven't changed mine).
Yes it looks like the kick plates were almost a standard dealer inclusion in the USA. The scuff guard install instructions (along with a bunch of others) are on the Nissan USA tech info site:

Looks like double sided tape...
Anyone buy anything interesting on Black Friday sales? I finally ordered the illuminated kick plates, have had my eye on them a while. Nissan USA had some discounts running on parts. Also ordered the Nismo oil + radiator caps.
Cheers for the tip we'll definitely do that. I've only done a small part of the roads out that way, start of last year in a Q60 RS I hired to get an early taste of the Z engine. There was snow over the roads up top so we couldn't get far. If we make the drive I'll post up some pics; I also saw...
Could anyone who's done their own oil change advise what access is like underneath for the sump plug & filter? I'm thinking of picking up some ramps soon, but the low profile ones I've seen aren't particularly high.
With the snow season finishing early, recently I had an opportunity to get down south and drive the Great Alpine Road. This had been on the bucket list for a while, if you haven't done the drive from the coast up to Mt Hotham I can definitely recommend it.
Route...
Zedders,
Registration is open for the Z Car Club NSW's Zedfest, the club is aiming to get 100 Z's there. If you've got a new one (or an older one), get along to it, it should be a great event.
