love the lights...front and rear

Rich · 06-08-2005, 10:48 AM

yeah it gets a

from me. glad they didnt totally change it and ruin it.

SilverEcstasy · 06-08-2005, 11:10 AM

Yeah seen that on my350z, it was from the Stillen Z Day. I spoke with a supervisor who works at the Nissan North American Tech center in Farmington Hills, there are no engine revisions or improvements for 2006. A little disappointing, but then again its still fast as hell.

The only horsepower increases were seen in the 35th Anniv which boasted a ECU tuning adjustment and a revised lower intake manifold developing 300hp but 260 lb-ft in torque (increase in HP, loss in torque--most of the 35th anni owners are complaining about a loss of "umph" from the line..well no kidding, it lost torque, but gained top end)

The front looks great but I can't STAND that rear. Ruins the entire car... current models AND this.

SilverEcstasy · 06-08-2005, 04:42 PM

I don't get it..all they did was put L.E.D.s in the taillights (unless I'm not seeing something) how did that ruin the entire car? If anything, the headlights look awkward putting too much focus on somewhat of a weak HID setup, the grille looks cheap and I don't like the small cut-out section dead center on the bottom front lip

Rich · 06-08-2005, 04:46 PM

didnt the tail lights use to have clear plastic on there somewhere? for reverse lights?

Nope, they're strategically located on the bumper, right next to turn signals.

For a few days now, I thought you were a new user. I just noticed the text above your avatar.

It's not completely shut.

crazypontiac03 · 06-08-2005, 07:25 PM

Yeah, just a dream, but it's hot. Anyone else think the armrest on the doors is really low??

No I think the design of the rear end all together is BUTT. I never said the taillights ruined it. I realize they look the same, thats why I said "current models AND this."

It needs forced induction. So what if it increases the price, it needs forced induction.

kse73 · 06-09-2005, 10:21 AM

Wheels look American Eagle'ish - Looks good though. I could definitely see myself driving one of those

Vintalage · 06-09-2005, 11:04 AM

I've always loved the look of this car. Very unique. And the improvements, albeit minor, makes it better. LED tails are always a plus.

RAZE · 06-09-2005, 02:09 PM

I don't like it. I think they should have made it more aggressive looking like the G35 coupe. I don't see any differences between the '06 and the corrent
