"Softened up" does not mean "less sporty" nor does it make it a sissy. In this case, it's actually just slightly different dampening. It's a good thing imo. Don't be offended.

Ha! No offense taken... :tiphat: I do remember reading something about that a while ago... I was just busting on the idea of the Nizzy having "softened" suspension! (And damn I can't imagine what it's like driving the older ones if it feels firmer/stiffer lol)

I would say stiffer from when I test drover them both side by side. I had already made the salesman really uncomfortable with a twisty on ramp so couldn't test the firmer aspect of the two.

The addition of the performance dampers causes the softer ride feel.

So I see that WhatnowGamer has made his choice; '15 NISMO.
Good choice. I have the '16 in red and LOVE it. I like the rims better too. I get lots of looks, especially in red. Most people don't even recognized it on the road as a Nissan.
Enjoy!

The color selection for the 15+ Nismo are ********. White, black, a red that doesn't match the trim, and the most boring *** silver out there

meanwhile, the nismo GTR gets that ridiculously awesome special matte version of KAD gunmetal

Nissan seriously dropped the ball there

They should have dropped red, which i maintain is a stupid color for the Z

pearl white (also BS that its like an extra $800 new)
black
gunmetal
canary yellow
laguna blue

Pearl Whites been a Z color since the beginning, and in my slightly bias opinion the best color for a Z. The thing about a white car is it shows you exactly how beautiful a car really is. If it's still sexy in white it's really a sexy car. A whole lot of ugly can be hid under a slick flashy paint job.

2009-2014 has the better exterior
2015-2016 has the better interior

IMO:
2015-2016 has the better exterior AND interior

2009-2014 just has the better wheels

Spstone 08-26-2016 06:15 PM
I prefer the 2015 rear better, nose and spoiler better on the earlier model. The interior to me isn't that huge of a factor. If it was some thing I was worried about the NISMO wouldn't have been a choice

And ppl are saying the spoiler from the 14 is better thats actually not true i made my research they actually redesigned the whole trunk and spoiler, turned out that the 15 spoiler gives better aerodyanmics then the 14 does..
Idk bout all of that....over here lots of people say that the 15's kit look like a
slightly spiffed up Sport/Touring model....Unlike it's predecessor which clearly stood out from the other models

This was my thought exactly which is why i decided on getting an pre-15' Nismo. The 14' is a little more raw and race car like while the 15' seems more refined and luxurious.

Nobody mentioned performance. Is the '15 quicker? With the taller rear gear? The seats are probably lighter too.

kevinpantz 08-27-2016 09:40 AM
I like the 2015 interior more, but where I live it was an $8k difference in a 14 vs 15
