Also, remember that later year models won't have the steering column lock, that's the same for the Infiniti G/Q, they dropped it also.
I'd wager that the connectors to hook up the electric tilt/tele are probably under the dash of the Z, just like the power seat connectors are already under the console.

Whats the usefulness of the Turbine speed gauge on a production road car? Again, the triple gauge cluster wasted on useless info. (boost ok)

Specially if available on the digital display anyway.

X2. There’s some seriously negative muthrfvckers in here.

It’s a damn miracle there’s even a z35 at all considering that a sports car, esp a 2 seater, is a tough sell for any manufacturer and Nissan isn’t in exactly the best financial shape right now.

It’s not a hybrid, (yet); that alone is cause for celebration.

My only concern is the electric steering, even the best setups from Porsche etc still aren’t on par with a hydraulic rack and pinion setup. They’re getting much closer now but I doubt Nissan is gonna match a new 911 electric rack. (Here’s hoping tho).

Doing that would set a check engine light and the idiots aligning the car wanted to charge me extra $$ to 'diagnose' the light.
2005 gm product, that was the root cause of your problem.

Jay Leno is a badass!
One week, he's climbing out of a plane to mess with the pilots, next week he's got a hand's on with what may be the most anticipated Japanese enthusiast car of all time.

Not super useful, I agree. But you may be able to correlate lag to turbine speed, especially useful if you are roll racing a 6MT??

Just grabbing at straws!

Go check out the recent reviews of the new GR86, the consensus is that the 86 is finally the best manifestation of itself possible. Rave reviews about it's steering feel.

The GR86 uses EPS! Subaru and Nissan have been known to utilize the same vendors over the decades.......just sayin'

The new Z isn't using EPS it's using DAS which is the worst version of electric steering.

New Z specs

"Vehicle speed-sensitive electric power steering"

Q60 DAS:
"With the DAS system, steering effort gradually increases with vehicle speed and lateral G,"

https://global.infinitinews.com/en/c...9ae80d78022898

Nissan obviously is burying the fact that their using DAS (due to being known to be terrible steering) since you have to go dig up their technically definition of their DAS to even understand the specifications on the new Z
