==Initial release==
===Engineering===
[[File:FairladyZ34.jpg|thumb|2008 Nissan Fairlady Z coupe]]
Almost every piece and component of the 370Z has been redesigned from the previous 350Z. The wheelbase is {{convert|4|in|mm|abbr=on}} shorter at {{convert|100.4|in|mm|abbr=on}} and an overall length {{convert|2.7|in|mm|abbr=on}} shorter at {{convert|167.1|in|mm|abbr=on}}. The overall width has been increased by {{convert|1.3|in|mm|abbr=on}}, the rear track by {{convert|2.2|in|mm|abbr=on}}, and overall height reduced by {{convert|0.3|in|mm|abbr=on}}. The smaller exterior dimensions and use of more lightweight materials helped reduce weight.

The 370Z features a front aluminum subframe, aluminum-alloy engine cradle, aluminum door panels, an all-aluminum hood, and an aluminum hatch. Front body torsional rigidity is improved by 10 percent with an extensively revised body structure, which includes a new front suspension cradle to reduce front body lateral bending, new rear structural reinforcements, and an underbody "V-bar" to help reduce rear lateral bending. Rear body torsional rigidity is improved by up to 22 percent and rear body vertical bending rigidity is improved by up to 30 percent. Additional enhancements include the use of a carbon fiber composite radiator housing and strengthening of the rear fender and hatch areas. The new structure weighs slightly less than the 350Z.

[[File:Z-Car. (4082253833).jpg|thumb|2009 model 370Z - featuring frameless door windows]]
The 370Z uses a front double wishbone suspension, with forged aluminum control arms and steering knuckle. The rear multi-link suspension uses a forged aluminum upper control arm, lower arm and radius rod, the toe control rod is steel and wheel carrier assembly is aluminum.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtests/2009/04/2009-nissan-370z-suspension-walkaround.html|title=2009 Nissan 370Z: Suspension Walkaround|work=Edmunds}}</ref> The refreshed 2013 model uses new dampers with the Sport package models. The brakes have been changed from the more expensive [[Brembo]] racing brakes to Nissan branded brakes which are manufactured by Akebono.

The [[coefficient of drag]] is 0.30 and 0.29 with the Sport Package, figures identical to the 350Z.
