Changes were made to packaging since the wheel base is different, and thus the parts need to fit into different spaces, but the general layout is very much the same

ummm, according to every single reviewer, including nissans webside, the 350z does not have a wishbone suspension. only multi link, which is why in every review they made a big deal on how much of a improvement the 370z's suspension was. heres a quote comming from mike kojima himself, "The front suspension is greatly improved over the 350Z. It is a simple unequal length "A" arm designed with forged aluminum links, looking like a close relative of the parts on the R35 Skyline GT-R. In fact it would not surprise us at all if all of the FM2 chassis share many of the same parts. The all important suspension geometry looks to be properly done with decent lengths of the upper and lower links for reduced scrub and bump steer with a relatively aggressive negative gain camber curve to help keep the tire tread flat on the road under roll."
heres another quote from a reviewer that states the 350z does not have a double wishbone, "That is made possible by the new double-wishbone front suspension that replaces the lower multi-link setup in the 350Z and uses lighter forged aluminum arms, a lightweight rigid aluminum-alloy cradle, a lighter, link stabilizer bar with a 35% improved lever ratio, and new high-response shock absorbers. The new 3-piece strut tower brace stiffens and quickens the front’s response."
