You'd have a problem with a stock Nismo's ride height. Adjustable coilovers usually lower the car a half inch or so at their highest. It's just not worth it. Plus, you would have to be so delicate with the throttle or it would get out of control. 500whp and narrow snow tires is a recipe for disaster.

Plus, it's not just you that you have to worry about. Other people on the road could slide into you. If it's a cheap winter beater, that's an inconvenience. If it's the Nismo, it's a tragedy.
