FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95 (RON). If premium
gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of 91 (RON) may
be temporarily used, but only with the following precautions: Have the fuel tank filled only
partially with unleaded regular gasoline and fill up with unleaded premium gasoline as soon
as possible. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration. However, for maximum
vehicle performance, the use of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended. CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three-way catalyst.

RIGID,
L I G H T W E I G H T B O DY
A sports car not only has to be agile. It has to be tough.
Nissan takes great pride in its commitment to body balance,
and with the 370Z, we have created the optimal balance
between light weight and body stiffness that allows you to
drive with confidence under any conditions.
Getting the balance right
With reinforcements like bolt-on underbody braces and a trigonal
tower bar, the 370Z’s rigid frame performs reliably during cornering,
while the widespread deployment of aluminum on cover parts —
including the doors and hatch as well as the hood — has made it
possible to keep the car’s overall weight down.

ON THE WILD SIDE
Wild at heart, yet eager to please, the 370Z’s spirited 3.7-liter VQ V6 engine
delivers an amazing 333 PS of road-pounding power at maximum output,
while Nissan’s original VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) system helps you
stay in control by ensuring a matching response to even subtle variations in
pressure on the accelerator.

Unlike conventional engines that control air intake using a throttle

to the pressure applied to the accelerator.

VQ37VHR engine
Rated at 333 PS at 7000 rpm with peak torque
of 363 Nm at 5200 rpm, this large-displacement
3.7-liter engine boasts a longer and flatter
torque curve, delivering smooth acceleration
and outstanding throttle response.
Fully symmetrical air intakes/exhausts
With individual air cleaners for both left and right
V-banks, air intake/exhaust efficiency is improved
to give you quicker response and higher power,
as well as cleaner exhaust, all while emitting
a deep, rumbling sporty growl.

THE THRILL OF
SEAMLESS SHIFTING
Whether you prefer the flexibility of manual control or the convenience of an
automatic transmission, you’re always in command with the 370Z. Experience
the thrill of a perfectly matched downshift and feel the satisfaction of smooth,
precise shifting anytime.
6-speed MT with SynchroRev Match mode
7-speed AT with manual mode
The world’s first manual transmission to feature a SynchroRev Match mode,
this transmission simplifies gear shifting at the touch of a button. Smooth
acceleration or deceleration is achieved by “blipping” the throttle to the
optimum engine rpm as you let out the clutch. The short stroke shift lever
helps keep wrist movement to a minimum, assuring quick, efficient shifting.
Now anybody can experience the thrill that comes from successfully handling
a sports car.
With 7 speeds and a manual mode, the 370Z’s automatic transmission
provides smooth, seamless shifting, comfortable, fuel-efficient high-speed
cruising and heart-pounding acceleration whenever you want it. In manual
mode, you get manual-style control with exceptionally quick shifts with a
nudge of the shift lever or a pull of the paddle shifters — ideal when you
want to downshift to pass traffic or for more effective braking.

Designed to respond quickly and precisely to every turn of the wheel,
the 370Z’s finely tuned suspension reacts quickly to the driver or bumps
in the road, while the outstanding braking power brings you to a stop
exactly when and where you want.
Rugged, responsive suspension
Lightweight yet extremely durable thanks to the use of aluminum components, the 370Z’s double-wishbone
front suspension offers a swift linear response to steering changes, while its multi-link rear suspension
helps the large-diameter tires maintain maximum contact with the road.
Responsive shock absorbers
In addition to a dual-flow-path design and internal
rebound springs, the shock absorbers also feature
high-performance ripple control, improving
performance and controlling friction for more
responsive handling and excellent riding comfort.
Brake system
The combination of front opposed 4-piston
aluminum calipers and a link-type brake pedal
provides precise and predictable stopping
performance, assuring ease of use around town
or in a traffic jam.

SAFETY SHIELD
Nissan’s concept of
“the vehicle that helps protect people.”
In the area of safety technology, Nissan pursues innovation
as part of its “Safety Shield” concept, an advanced, proactive
approach to safety issues based on the idea that cars should
help protect people. This approach provides various
measures to help the driver and passengers better avoid
dangers in ways that are optimized to each of a wide range
of circumstances that the vehicle may be in, from “risk has
not yet appeared” to “post-crash.”
Helps the driver to maintain comfortable driving
Even when risk has not appeared, Nissan technologies make it easier for
the driver to maintain safe driving conditions. Some of these innovations
reduce the driver’s burden, while others enhance visibility and awareness
of the immediate surroundings at night and when parking, for example.
24
Helps the driver to recover from dangerous conditions to safe driving
When a risk appears, warnings and automatic countermeasures help the driver avoid it.
VDC
Vehicle with VDC
Vehicle without VDC
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
VDC automatically controls brake and engine output to enhance stability when sensors detect that the vehicle may slip sideways,
due to steering, braking or accelerator pedal operation.
Helps minimize the damage
when a collision is unavoidable
In cases when a crash cannot be avoided,
additional Nissan technology helps reduce
injuries and damage by activating the brakes,
restraining passengers, and applying other
measures.
25
Dual front, side and curtain SRS airbags
Together with pretensioner front seatbelts, these Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) airbags help to reduce the risk of injury
resulting from an impact.
Bi-Xenon High-Intensity
Discharge (HID) headlamps
Provide intense long-range illumination and
feature headlamp washers to ensure optimum
visibility in all weather conditions.
LED high-mounted stop lamp
Makes sure the car behind you knows when
you’re braking.
LED rear combination lamps
Quick illumination gives following drivers more
time to react.
Rear fog lamp
Provides extra illumination in haze, fog and
other low-visibility conditions.
ABS with EBD and BA
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps prevent skidding in
emergency braking, while Electronic Brake force Distribution
(EBD) contributes to safe driving by enhancing braking control
to optimize braking performance with different loads. A Brake
Assist (BA) system is also provided.
Seeking a symbiosis of people, vehicles and nature
Nissan’s environmental philosophy can be described as, “a symbiosis of
people, vehicles and nature.” It is our ideal for a sustainable mobile society
now and our goal for the future. We established the Nissan Green Program
with specific objectives to realize the goal, and we are diligently making
concerted efforts to reduce environmental impact at every stage of
the vehicle life cycle and our corporate activities.
Active head restraints
