Retaining its long-hood and short-deck styling proportions, Nissan rolled out its fourth-generation Z car in 2003. Initially, there were five trim levels on the coupe – base, enthusiast, performance, touring and track. The Performance model came with larger 18-inch wheels, front air dam, rear spoiler, optional Brembo brakes and Vebicle Dynamic Control (VDC) instead of traction control.
This example was made in Nissan's Oppama, Japan factory in October 2002. Recent vehicle maintenance includes a brake fluid flush; a clutch fluid flush; a transmission fluid flush; a rear differential fluid flush; new engine air filter; new windshield wipers; a new battery and a synthetic oil change.
Dressed in Orange Pearl, this Z car's paint and trim are in overall excellent order. The car has worn a clear front-end bra since it was new. The paint show in excellent overall condition and has always been garaged. The coupe's bodywork is straight and solid and has such highlights as brushed aluminum door handles, bulging fenders and a high beltline. In back are a rear window defroster and wiper/washer system. The body-colored bumpers fit tightly to the body.
This car rolls on Bridgestone Potenza RE040 radials, size 225/45R18 in front and size 245/45R18 in back. Each radial is mounted to a factory six-spoke alloy wheel. The wheels are in excellent order, a testament to the car's storage in a garage and its low mileage. The tires are in very good condition.
Under the hood is Nissan's venerable 3.5L DOHC 24-valve V-6 engine (code VQ35DE) with direct fuel injection and variable-valve timing (CVTCS) and breathing via dual exhausts. Backing this motor is a six-speed manual transmission (code FS6R31A). Driver convenience features include electronic climate control, power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, power windows, power locks and power sideview mirrors.
Inside, the car features a contrasting gray cloth interior. The bucket seats are in excellent shape, as is the matching carpet. The headliner and three-spoke steering wheel look fine. The dashboard, with its full array of gauges, looks fantastic. Note that the minor gauges are tilted toward the driver. The center console, with its mounted shift lever matches the rest of the interior. A factory AM/FM stereo with a CD player completes the interior.
Competition to this Nissan in 2003 included Acura's NSX, Audi's TT, Infiniti's G35 Coupe and Porsche's 911 Carrera 4S.
