I've compared the Z's (on paper, side by side) and the Nismo body is reinforced to make it stiffer overall. I like that so that is why I landed on nismo....

Just like M3 vs 335, SRT8 vs R/T, ZO6 vs Grand Sport or S Class vs AMG ect. You can mod anything to be faster, but some like myself just prefer to have the considered top tier version, just personal preference.

Here we go again.

Yes, if you plan on switching out suspension and modding the powertrain, you have tossed out pretty much everything that makes a Nismo special other than the body kit and wheels. Thus, unless you really love the body kit and wheels, or need the penis extension that a tiny little numbered plaque gives you, a Nismo is a waste if you plan on heavily modding the car. Since the OP isn't planning on that, let's drop it since a "Nismo VS Base" thread is right up there with "What oil should I use".

The only reinforcements are two body dampers you can bolt on to any model.

Thanks. Maybe I'll save myself a few thousand and look at the sport model to get the bigger brakes.

For this car, I want something that is fun to drive and reliable. I do not intend to let it sit in the garage. I'm done with that.
