Year over year

What changed

  • Nissan listed 17 exact body, grade, and transmission configurations.
  • The base Roadster was automatic-only; Touring and Touring Sport Roadsters retained manual and automatic choices.
  • SynchroRev Match belongs to Sport/Sport Tech and NISMO manual coupes and Touring Sport manual Roadsters; the ordinary Touring Roadster manual does not have this feature. The base automatic coupe has manual shift mode and Downshift Rev Matching; paddle shifters are equipment on Sport, Sport Tech and Touring automatic coupes.

Worth knowing

Notable

  • Nissan's exact-year U.S. records identify 17 distinct body, grade, edition, and transmission configurations.
  • Paint colors and dealer accessories are not counted as separate factory configurations.

Living with it

Reliability & ownership notes

  • Confirm the exact 2017 trim, body style, engine specification, and transmission before selecting service parts.
  • Coupe, Roadster, standard-output, higher-output, and NISMO hardware have configuration-specific fitment.

Maintenance & service parts

Keep your 2017 Z on the road

Start with the service interval, then match the engine or exact version you own. Order links appear only when a catalog-backed part number is available, and every listing still needs a fitment check.
