Nismo vs Nismo tech
 

Is there really a difference, I thought they were both the same cars

tech comes with navi

NISMO Tech has Navigation, XM Radio (few months trial), and backup camera (which works pretty good to help park!).

NISMO has the pocket where the screen is on NISMO Tech.

I would have taken a regular NISMO if I could have found one in white 6MT but I couldn't. More than happy with NISMO Tech even if I think it should be standard features at the NISMO price point.

I am fairly certain that the tech package also includes the Bose system as well.

Uxi, I got the PW base Nismo 6MT. :stirthepot:

Why couldn't u find a regular NISMO? Dealerships will order the sub model you want.

The back up camera was worth it to me, it makes life simpler and the Z definitely has blind spots, I'm not sure if the camera is a wide angle or not, but it's saved me a couple of times where I couldn't see a pedestrian or car in my mirrors but I could in the camera.

The non-tech Nismo still has a backup camera inside the mirror. I have a tech, and love it. The Bluetooth streaming is my favorite part.

Yes and no. It is available as an option. I don't have it.

Any reason not to want the tech? Everything except the nav is useful.

The big reason to get the tech package is that the Z's are notoriously funky with the wiring... While it's true someone could add XM/Bluetooth/backup camera/nav/better audio - there's an above-zero percent risk the car will do strange things when it's all said and done.

Just look through the A/V threads here for examples.

I specified the tech package with mine, and it's been really nice. I'd certainly do it again.

My 2016 has the Bose and back up in the mirror but no navi, I'm glad the original owner went that route personally.

The tech has leather recaro seats vs cloth. I have a tech that I'm selling. ;)

The tech and base Nismo have the same seats. I don't think they are real leather either. Not even real Alcantara.

They are leather per Nissan. And I was told by Nissan non tech doesn't have leather recaro... you sure about that? My dealer knows all about Z and GTR options.

From the Nissan build site NISMO® Recaro® leather-appointed seats with Alcantara® inserts[*]

also I own a tech and its real leather and alcantara.
