for stock wheels you must use the washer style like these wheel locks...

So, just for me to be clear here. Aftermarket RAYS lugs will not work on the 370. Is this correct?

^cool, so at least it lasts a few years, I just don't want to have to worry about my car not starting, that would def suck, lol

I'm sure this has already been found but I found this link for slotted Rotora front/rear brake rotors: Rotora Front Slotted Brake Rotors Nissan 370Z - I just don't know how much they weigh. I assume they have to weigh less then the stock rotors.

does unbolting the 370z seat cause a CEL because they have an airbag inthem?

If you are getting aftermarket volks you need to use regular acorn lug nuts not the 370 washer ones so you will be fine with aftermarket lug/lock set. On the contrary you will not be able to use the stock lugnuts on your VOLKS.

Hey any of you guys got information on a 370z carbon fibre roof?? Not the Sunline racing one because that is an overlay and just adds weight and doesn't lower the center of gravity...I'm looking for a replacement for the the Z's roof. NO OVERLAYS!!

Ya that Braille B3121 is a pretty nice, do u need a special bracket for it?

370zForever · 09-27-2009, 09:38 PM

Braille sell the aluminum bracket for it.

What's the best way of lightening the Z's front. I know about the battery relocation and lightweight pulleys, but what about forged pistons and connecting rods from GTM. Do they lighten the front signficantly?? Any better ideas to lighten the Z's front or its engine?
