2011 370z... Gun Metallic?
 

Sorry if this is thread also contains reposted info, but I did a search n couldn't find a thread to build on.

So the new color for the 2011 370z is gun metallic. A color already featured on the Nissan GT-R. I always thought 40th graphite and gun metallic were identical colors with different names. Anyone here see a difference between the two colors? I guess you get 40th graphite without the dark rims and red leather and can now opt for an auto???
Anyway... anyone tired of having 5 shades of gray, Why can't we have more shades of blue and let's get orange... nissan has more shades of gray than I ever seen in one car company. What is the deal???

On a side note, the nav package on 2011 will bring a rear view camera. It took 3 model years to get it right but they got it at least. I know a lot of 09 touring owners will consider trading up now for the OEM camera. This is one car that I don't even know how a rear camera isn't standard on the base car. The times I drove the Z and put it in reverse, I close my eyes n use the force. Lol. This car has no close range rear view without a camera. The back window is nothing but a light source.

any more sources than that? looks shady, but not far fetched.

That info is correct, camera and new color (gun metallic).
It is all based on the color codes, gun metallic is KAD

Not 100% sure but I think the 40th is KAV.

Yes the 40th color code is KAV..PG code is K51..Red code is A54..Yellow code is EAC..Black code is G41..Silver code is K23..Black Cherry code is NAG..White code is QAB..Blue code is RAE..

Yay, an exciting new color. Thanks Nissan!

:gtfo2: :p

:worthless:

At least it's not poop brown like the new Audi color.

Instead of a new color, how about a new clear-coat formula/application technique?

thank god I have my "limited 40th anniversary edition"

Tell me about it, while I have barely any chips on the front end I have aquired what I call a few clear coat etchings from insect or bird. Its less protective than my softer domestic paint on my 97WS6.

:iagree:

I also got a front clear bra.

I can't believe it .......
 

That's all we need ..... another damn silver, gray, dark
gray, graphite, light gray, dark silver, pewter, light silver,
and dark pewter.

What the hell Nissan ? Don't you folks in Japan know
what a color palette is ? Heck, every-time that I see a
movie filmed in Japan - I see color everywhere. It's not
just the palette of silvers (light & dark), ... it's all colors.
Get with the program Nissan. Cut back on all the varieties
of silver and get some colors on the 370Z.

I do like the Black Cherry Color ... it is nice and a start.

Thank you and end of rant ........ a future customer.

Oh yeah .... this will be the 8th Nissan for me.

Is the rear view really that bad on these vehicles? I can't believe all these claims that you can't see anything through your rear view...I don't see how a car company would put a vehicle like that out into the public's hands if there was such an issue with visibility.
