Sport Package Question
 

My 370Z pre-purchase research led me to the conclusion that the sports package will have 19" rims and an LSD, so when i checked my car these are the pointers that led me to think that i have a sport package seeing that it has both.
Post purchase it came to my attention that i am supposed to have the Akebono BBK which in fact i don't.
So now i am confused; how can i know if my car has the sports package or not. LSD is there and the 19" wheels are there in the 2009 model.
Any thoughts?????:confused:

RE: Akebono BBK which in fact i don't.

What do you have?

Easiest way to check for sport package is the Sport Mode button.

I'm betting someone took your brakes and swapped them for the base. The Akebono's fetch a good amount of cash, while the base can be found for next to nothing.

Is this on the OP's automatic too?

It would also have the rear spoiler and the front under spoiler if a real sport. If no bbk but you have all the other stuff(19” rays rims, spoiler front and rear, lsd) then somebody did swap out the bbk for base-non sport brakes.

OP, do you have a euro-spec Z? Their trims are different.

Most euro-spec Z's, even with the upgraded "GT" package, do not get the upgraded Akebono brakes.

Only the USDM 370 abides by the Base/Sport/Touring package models, to my knowledge.

Doh my fault. Didn't realize he had an AT. Disregard what I said.

easiest way to know for sure is to call a dealership with your VIN and ask them if your car does or does not have the sport package.

The dude is in Dubai. The "sport package" may not even be a package depending on the market the car was geared for. Just sayin.

Guys,
My Z is a US import, then I guess they have swaped the brakes since I have the spoiler and the lip and all the other stuff I have mentioned. The base calipers I curently have installed are red powder coated, so this is a strong indicator that the brakes have been swaped. Bad luck.
Thanks for your input; guess I am in for an upgrade, the 40th anniversary red akebonos seem like a good option.

yep- the red powercoat definitely gives it away. the stock non-akebono brakes are silver/unfinished across all lines.

Was this ever defined because my 2015 has Red Calipers but they are the bigger stock brakes. When did they start using Red calipers. as I believe this transitioned some time in the past years.

op post a pic of your calipers we can easily end the confusion

Originally, only the 2010 40th Anniversary model had the red calipers and all others were black. In looking on the internet, it seems that the red calipers were added in 2013.
