Let's not go crazy. You've got different bumpers and a bigass wing.

Agreed. That's why I've got a set.

I like the Nismo bumper and wheels but don't understand why they didn't add more power to it or why you can't get leather or the 7AT in it.

US market always gets a "standard" version, really no options (Japan you can get leather).
The power figure probably has to do with cost, emissions, accountants, etc. I think he goal with the Nismo is usually to be a more 'track' focused car through other upgrades than HP.

If there was a Nismo with the touring pack, I would have strongly considered it. The wing would have to go, but someone would have happily paid to swap hatches.

Minus the power, the ipl g37 will fit that need.

True but I wanted a Z again, so I bought a touring with the 7AT, supercharged it, changed the exhaust and upgraded the breaks. All of that was about the same price as the Nismo add on but with a bunch more power and a better sound.

Yeah you certainly don't buy the Nismo for the 13HP, hell if you want to faster out the door 370Z you don't even buy the 6MT.

Oh and by the way there is a Nismo Bat Signal, looks kinda like this.

Did you do anything to the tranny after the supercharger addition?
