The car sat in a Naples garage in a winter home and I bought it this summer for 26,500 with 6,000 miles in it. I was looking at new ones at the time it came up for sale and I loved the yellow. I was working on a deal for a 2013 sport touring at the time but the dealer was working with me much. It didn't have the sport breaks but it will next week. Im around 40K now but that includes the supercharger, Aquamist meth injection, Stillen exhaust, adding sport breaks and having them powder coated black with yellow logos, carbon fiber vented hood and boost /AFR gauge installed where the clock was. It's 406 WHP/302 TQ. Don't take me wrong, I like the nismo body kit and wheels but I think it's over priced since they didn't add more power.

If you bought your car for a warranty buying a used car might not make since but since I intended to make it fast it really didn't make a difference to me.

Nothing but adding a trans cooler. The trans is rated at 300 ft lbs and I'm just over that so time will tell. The 7AT has really impressed me so far, I live in south Florida and this time of year the traffic here is crazy so I just cant deal with a stick.

Oh and we upped the line pressure with uprev.

no i completely understand about saving some cash and fixing up a non nismo version. if i liked the look of the car non-nismo i would have done that. but honestly i love the look and right now im not looking to boost it.

but as you said you are at $40k right now. i paid well under that for a NEW nismo. (granted im not supercharged)

The first thing I did was the exhaust and that passed the Nismo HP and I was well under 30K!

Because I like to track the car the wing would have came off a Nismo for a working wing (not on mine yet but it will be) so thats not worth anything to me personally. I would have left the body kit but My car will get one in carbon to match the hood and wing so its better for me personally. The Nismo coil overs are non adjustable so they would have gotten changes so when you add all of that plus not being able to get the options I wanted it turned me off. I love the looks but there was a lot better bang for the buck to me. Nismos still look sexy in my rear view mirror

I wonder if Porsche and BMW owners have the same conversations...Boxer vs Cayman, Cayman vs 911 and on and on. I drove a base and didn't like it drove the Nismo and it was all over. I didn't buy it for horsepower over the other Zees, cause you can get hp if you want it bad enough. Went with Z because of it uniqueness and of the Zees the Nismo is the most unique. And as for mods...did them all and yes mine is faster than most...you got to pay if you want to play!!! I paid $34k and it only had 11K miles on it. There are deals to be had on all models.

Yes Porsche owners have the same conversation. At Sebring the mid-engine Caymen seem to get around the track faster than the rear engine big money 911s. Cayman owners love it and 911 owners hate it!

Your Nismo is what a Nismo should be, fast and sexy! I still would want the 7AT and leather but I love your car!

i think this would be more an argument for the SRT and SVT and M3 vs regular 3 series and other regular versions would bicker about.

cayman vs 911.....? that is more like us upset an altima went around a track faster than us. kinda

Hotrodz · 02-13-2014, 08:20 AM

Thanks man...that was my goal. I wanted my car to be as fast as it looks!!!

Yes but the M3 gives you 100+ HP over the biggest 3 series HP, that was why I was saying the Nismo should get more HP than it does for their performance upgrade.

Had the Nismo come that way I would have probably bought one and dealt with the stick.

Its not a 10 k upgrade but the nismo front is great.
