"400Z"-370Z Parts Interchange
 

I was reading a article yesterday regarding SEMA that Nissan is already using Nismo suspension parts from the 370z on the "400", namely FUCA's, tie rods, end links, rear camber links, mid links, and traction arms.

Nismo will have a 6/4 piston brake kit with larger slotted rotors and optional $450 pads out early next year which would be interesting if it fits the 370. Road & Track tested the pads in the base brakes on the track and raved about them.

Also for the 400 will be a coil over kit with rebound adjustment, adjustable anti roll bars, LM-RS1 wheels intake, larger intercooler, stainless exhaust system, clutch and flywheel designed to hold 800 hp, carbon mirror caps, carbon steering wheel trim, AL fuel filler and oil filler caps and titanium shift knob.

Moving forward it will be interesting to see what aftermarket 400 parts will also fit on the 370 as well as 3rd parties doing their research and simply adding the 400Z to their fitment listings of parts previously made for the 370. :tup:

Need the new Nismo catalog with all of these whispered about goodies ASAP.

And although plenty of YouTubers chopped/screwed new Zs, it will bring all kinds of eyes to the platform. Hopefully plenty of fully-functioning tire slayers at the SEMA show.

The Z is already using the base/Akebono brakes so compatibility is proven from the factory. The 6/4 piston BBK is most likely the current R35 brakes rebadged as Nismo (similar to what they did with the SPL catalog 1-2 years ago)... which currently have adapters available through Z1.

Coilovers/airbag kits have also already been proven to be compatible (just like the suspension arms), so I wouldn't doubt the sway bars are the same; and the fuel/oil filler caps and shift knob(s) have been available for... over a decade at this point.

...and if you look at the undersides of the Z34/RZ34, the exhaust is the same from the cats back as well. So, skip the Nismo/Magnaflow/Borla and go straight for the big boy Fast Intentions/Motordyne/etc.

Honestly, for the companies that have supported the 370Z through suspension/exhaust components, the Z is blessing since Nissan really only changed the body kit, engine and part of the interior (dash/center console).

I'm looking forward to the continued aftermarket support due to interoperability.

So, should I hold off on Clutch parts? ;)

Not unless you are going to attempt OE components from the new Z. I suspect the aftermarket items will be ported over to the new Z currently vs new companies coming out with updated designs.

The BBK is rebranded StopTech ST40, not worth the $.

On individual ground-up builds that are performed in Nismo Omori factory, when R35 calipers are being retrofitted to R32 thru R34 customer cars, the calipers have always been aesthetically left alone as well.

It's currently online minus the upcoming parts I mentioned.

Interesting info., first I've heard of R35 brakes being used on an R34. Does the advertised "upsized" rotor fit in 19" wheels?

The Stoptech ST40 isn't worth the money or buying it under the Nismo nameplate? Does the advertised "upsized" rotor fit in 19" wheels?

Omori factory R34 GTR w/ R35 Brembos, 19 inch LMGT4's:

On this one I think those are 18x10.5 inch LMGT4's:

As stated in your other thread, SPL's official answer when I asked bout Z34 parts compatability: "We can’t release any of that information sadly"

Wonder if Nissan gagged them until SEMA

If the new Z is using the exact same Akebonos, then any existing kit should bolt right up, which means . . . contact DarkJak for his setup if you need the upgrade

So the new RZ34 coilovers from Nismo actually work with the 370Z? (Part number: E3110-RRZ34)

I'm referring to these if someone is wondering.

Is that for one or two? Knowing how they list things. I would say that price is for one. $1,750.

The part number is for the whole set. So you get all 4 shocks and springs.

I'm pretty sure each shock and spring will have a different part number stamped on it if you wantrd to just change one at a later date.

Nice. What's up with that rotor? It looks stepped.

Shadow, or brakeware
Stepped rotor makes no sense

Gotcha, ya looking at it on another monitor now and it's clearly a brake pad marcel mark.

Them rotors on the R34 are efffd. Burn mark from the center of the being higher than the rest of the pad.

From the other perspective I see more parts from the new Z fitting more the Q60 V37 than Z34 or possibly equal when you include engine parts.

I came back to this thread just to see if there any updates regarding the new Nismo coilovers for the 2023 Z and whether they fit the Z34. I was thinking of picking these up and trying it myself if nothing else.

However these seem to be discontinued now (click on the link I posted on the first page). I find that odd.

Anyone have any idea what happened to these?

until someone does it we wont know for 100% certain.
Currently I would say it's 99% certain tho.

They are basically the same car.

I would bet they fit. I mean the new Z is noted by Nissan as RZ34, they literally reused the number, as the cars are that similar. 350 and 370 had loads of compatible parts, the 370 and new one are probably even more similar.

We can skip the "will they fit" part for those coilovers -

There are already plenty of options that we already know will fit - the ones that already exist for the Z34.

The main reason for parts compatibility would be for stuff that will eventually be available used from RZ34 owners, and for stuff that are ostensibly made for the RZ34 that nobody "made" for the Z34. Or an engine swap

The coilovers sold to you by Nissan motorsport will assuredly be more expensive and (probably) no better than what you can get from Fortune, or BC, or Powertrix, or whatever you wanna go with

Z33 and Z34 suspensions and brake mounting points are different; the interiors are different. There's some stuff in the engine thats compatible

the RZ34 is the same car with new body and engine

I have a feeling the wheels would fit.

I'm considering these:

Based on what Z1 is offering for the RZ34, it seems like wheel fitment is the same across both platforms

Most standard sizing is already pretty conservative

Checked SPL's website. Part numbers are the same across platforms.

A few months ago they said they weren't allowed to tell me. Oh well.

Fitment
 

Does the "interior scuff protection" fit our 370Z's?

Why Not, same door by the looks of things.

OK--I'll be the guinea pig --just placed my order. Will report back on fitment.

I'm guessing it needs a specific adhesive spray. That might be a make or break for me, because sometimes the spray almost costs just as much as the item itself.

Looks like a peel-n-stick.

zz

Just received my "scuff protection" panels today. Yes, they are peel-n-stick. Will post pictures tomorrow after I install them. They cost me $110 delivered, which seems a little steep for what they are. But I think they'll dress up the doors a bit.
In similar news: Does anyone know if the door "step light" (i.e, the red reflector on the inside door card of each car door) is illuminated on the new Z? I'd love it if there were any easy way to illuminate those red lenses on our cars.

I have personally seen the new Z at a car show, and they are not. It is the exact same red reflector as in the 370Z . Now there is an official Nissan accessory sold in Japan that added a blue LED light to the door, in the door jamb near the latch. It's meant to make the door visible for traffic when you open the door into traffic but is also cool looking. The 370Z specific model part number is B6420-3GY0A.

I can't find a photo of the 370Z installed version anymore, I remember seeing a photo of it in a Nissan Japan PDF accessory catalog which no longer seems to be online and luckily I noted down the part number for a possible future purchase. I recall it being about $100 (per door?). It seems Nissan Japan makes a variant of it for most of their models. Here is a version of it installed on a Nissan van, the 370Z version I remember has the same blue LED pattern.

"Scuff Protection"
 

I installed the "scuff protection" panels (a Nissan accessory for the new Z) on my 370Z today. Here's my review:
Pros:

• Fitment is perfect for the 370Z
• Easy to install

Cons:

• The obvious edges of the scuff protection seem to clutter up the door panel's lines.
• Adhesive tape that secures them leaves some small gaps and buckles.
• Price (around $100 ppd) is hard to justify.

I'm still trying to decide whether to leave these on or not.

Wow, great job! On the Nissan press catalogue photos, it seems like they have a print with a pattern that I guess is trying to look like carbon fibre? In person is that the case, or no? Can you take a more close up photo of the pattern printed on the panels or at an angle to try to capture it in a photo? Thanks

This looks fine! I think it just takes some getting used to. Leave them for a few weeks and see how you get used to them. They seem fine to me!

If scuff protection is the game, I can't see why we couldn't adhere a vinyl wrap in the color of your choosing? Also, continue the wrap around the panel for a seamless fit.

Not sure if Wrap will bond to plastic the same way as it would a painted surface.

Or how much heat is involved that it may damage the interior plastic underneath.

Yes, it's a carbon fiber pattern. See attached detail photo from my install.

Exactly my thinking which I posted before. The fact that the scuff protector doesn't fully cover the surface it's applied to imo equals poor fit and simply wrapping the area would provide for full coverage. :ugh2:

What do you think about this guys? link

It would be nice to have everything compatible, I can even see people making adapter harness to swap interior in the future. Am I a dreamer? :drool:

I'd love to see the final product. Seems like a feasible idea for a refresh look.

Just waiting on a wrecked Z at the wreckers for the encouragment. :D
