"400Z"-370Z Parts Interchange

makeao · 02-13-2025, 02:04 PM

I'm waiting for someone to swap steering wheel and see if airbag/srs and buttons work properly. For me steering wheel is the ugliest part of 370z's interior.

Even uglier.

Honestly I like it a lot more, still I would mod it to my taste, but I need someone to confirm its plug and Play or how to do it, because in Europe I have to import it and it won’t be cheap.

I guess if you want to retain all the wheel's functionality, a stock replacement is best

but most people swapping wheels are doing it for either:
1) appearance
or
2) function. Moving the wheel to suit your driving position, and/or adding a quick release to get in/out of a fixed bucket

I didn't notice that they changed the center console such that there's no longer the 3 switches (or blanks). I use those for Air Cup controls and the secondary fuel pump. Sucks for RZ34 owners, physical switches are convenient

Yes, the new steering wheel in not that great looking. However, I do have Nismo, so it's not really a good comparison.

The Nismo and Performance (I believe) still have the 3 switch positions on the center console. The Nismo only has a single position being used for the hatch release, the Performance (or whichever model it was) looks like the seat heaters along with the hatch release.

Back on topic, the Nismo strut brace for the RZ34 fits the Z34; I'm running one since I can no longer use the 3-point due to where my swirl pot mounts on the firewall.

Will it also fit over the engine cover? I notice yours is removed.

Do you feel that the 3 point was even neccesary?

Afterall, I believe the chassis in RZ34 is same as Z34?. Are there engine bay and front suspension differences that Nissan altered to get away with 2 point?

I like The shift knob in new Z. Should be same thread size/pitch but might be shorter. Have to see if someone swaps out.

filip00 · 02-20-2025, 08:13 AM

I always like the Qashqai steering wheel, but I'm not sure if it's easily fittable to the Z.

Other then the buttons, looks identical.

The RZ34 and Z34 side skirts look to be the same shape - anyone know if they're cross compatible?

Z1 says they aren't compatible

must be something along the rear edge that was changed

IMO nothing good in the new Z interior, looks like many other car brands. Center console look pain jane without the switches. Steering wheel from a compact SUV, hate digital gauge clusters cause I'm old (school), AC controls look like their buried and a PITA to access.
