I'll attest to the effectiveness of the aluminum under shroud. Easy oil changes and the vents seem to help lower oil temps

Be careful with that switch. Although it will bolt right on and work for the most part, it is a RHD part. Your turn signal stalk and multifunction switches will be reversed. Just be aware of that.

I've contemplated buying the JDM switch. I know it would reverse things but once I got used to it again it wouldn't matter because nobody drives my car other than me

Weather tech makes great all weather floor mats that are digitally cut to match the car for anybody who would like to protect the floor of their Z and they match the interior great. Only $99.00

I mentioned in another post discussing the JDM Reverse Fog. I recommend trying to source the Canadian-spec version. Some of the Canadian spec 370Z's came with the Reverse Fog from Nissan and were LHD. This would be a more ideal setup.

...Dunno why the Canadians got all the cool parts and we didn't. Their NISMO Edition 370Z's come with the NAV too!

The Canadian Nismo is the same as the American no Nav! Only the 40th AE came with Nav where the American one did not. As for the fog light it was Nissan Canada that made the decision for all Canadian models to come equipped surge the fog light.
