question for 370z owners with sport package

EX350 · 10-05-2012, 03:57 PM

I'm in the middle of searching for the right 370z. However, I would like to purchase one with the sport package. In recent searches, I realized that the only way I could distinguish from the base model and models with the sport package, were the rims. If someone replaces the stock rims with a different set of rims, how can I tell if it has the sport package? Buying from someone private wouldn't be an issue, but I've seen some cars on dealers sites that claims theirs have the sport package, but clearly it didn't.

Any feedback would be appreciate it. Thanks!

The base has smaller brakes.

Thanks. And I also found out that only the sport model comes with the synchro rev match. That'll be much easier to look for. lol

Yup, if you're looking for a 6MT it will be a dead giveaway.

The sport package IMO probably costs less than a third of the total cost of all the added components... moving from single piston front and rear to four piston front and two piston rears, some body mods (which actually also cancel all body lift, according to some specs), VLSD (meh), SRM (also meh, but cool), gear position indicator for the 6MT (helps), cooler wheels. I like sport package.

You say you would never use synch rev but VDC is a must. Neither is a must.

By chance are you dropping gears, and fish tailing, mid turn? If you are, SRM might be useful to you.

Rear spoiler as well

See if you could locate the Limited Slip Differential.

1st · 10-05-2012, 05:12 PM

Spoiler and front diffuser

martin82 · 10-05-2012, 05:19 PM

rear spoiler, brake calipers, wheels, front lip, synchrorev button top right, also gear indicator in the gauges which also shows the S for synchrorev on or nothing for off... that's all I can think for now....

Wheel gaps still look bad, even jay Leno agrees , this car either needs 20"s or a little bit more deep dish to look proper.
