Personally, if you were to keep the car 100% stock, and/or you DIE for the Nismo body kit, get it... If not, don't, don't even think about it, that 18HP "upgrade" is offset by the extra weight.
To me, and I think many agree, the Nismo is just a base+sport with body kit and the tinsel of "go faster" added.


I have a Sport Touring, and I'm happy I do. A LOT of people complain about the base seats and while the seat heaters add weight the leather makes just a sports car into a sport "luxury" car
How much for a replica? Ive looked into amuse which is the one i prefer. Its just really high.

I chose the 370z nismo because I liked how it looked. However, I gave up a lot of things I could have had in a 370z for that look. The 2013 Nismo seems better equipped than the 2010 that I had, so maybe it would not be so bad. Good luck with your decision.

Lot's of great advise. Here's my take.

Nismo is exclusive. Nice body kit. No need to change it. If you plan to change a bunch of things go for the Sport. If you don't care about the essence of either the Nismo or a Sport, go for the base to give you more mod money headroom.

Are you military? You can get the VPP pricing as well if you are (or a close family member is). :-) I got my sport for a few thousand under invoice. I got it cheaper than the Nissan employees could get it. As far as I know they do the VPP for current model year and one year previous.
