14' Nismo vs 15' Nismo?

sandersd

I went with the '14 because I didn't like the four color choices of the '15 or the loss of the rear spoiler. I understand the '15 actually gains more down force with the new aero but it loses aesthetics (for me). I do like the side skirts and front aero treatment of the '15 and would love to have the seats.

Idk about that one... i have the 15 nismo and i pulled up next to a 14 nismo guess wich one was getting more attention the 15 and no im not just saying that cus i have the 15 i also stay in south cali and theres alot of competition out here but tbh this car stands out ALOT way more then the 14 due to ppls reactions and comments, i remember when i saw the 15 in pics i didnt like it at all so i waited to see it in person cus i also didnt like the rims either but when i saw it in person i fell in love with the 15 the rims look way better in person trust!!!! 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..

Thank you all for your opinions.

I'm thinking of going with the 14' Nismo (Red) and changing the seats to the Recaro's. Also I would change the rims, install coilovers, etc..

What do you think?

I think that you're going to be spending a LOT of money. Those Recaros cost a fortune.

I had a Sport/Touring originally and my '14 NISMO didn't feel like it justified the price tag relatively speaking, with the cloth interior, base radio, no Homelink mirror, etc.

When the '15 NISMO came out with the Tech package + Recaros, I knew this was the combo I wanted. The lower final drive was a welcome bonus. Also, I liked the new body kit.

It's red, which I also like because the red accents blend in with the car a little.

That's just me though, so buy whatever the hell you like. I never understood threads like this, we aren't the ones who are going to drive your car, why do you care what our opinions are?

I like the body kit on the 14. Its quite a bit more aggressive than the 15 IMHO. kinda boils down to how aggressive do you want you exterior to look. The recaro's in the 15 would be nice but I don't have a problem with the seats in my 14 so that's not as big a selling point to me.

You don't have to purchase those seats from Nissan, prob can get them cheaper from Ricaro (without the Nismo embroidered) or buy another brand like Bride.. Etc

I would choose the 14 over the 15. The 14 has everything I loved about the 09 and two tone of the 07-08 (which is what I was really after when I got the deal on the 09).

I acknowledge the "improvements" on the 15-16 as well. There is more downforce with the 15-16, but that wasn't a weakness in the NISMO. The addition of 7AT and TECH options are attractive, but I run an aftermarket audio setup and prefer 6MT. The seats are the only thing that make things interesting in my opinion, but I can live without them (just won't be as cool).

While this is true, you will be a few grand richer at the expense of missing couple airbags.

Really, it's about what you want to do to it.

There is an argument for both years. If you're looking for something that is near perfect as-is, go with the '15. If you're looking for a track bish that will be altered go with the '14.

Granted, I still track my '15... but it's hard to justify $4k on new suspension when the stock stuff is pretty amazing as is.

Are the 15 Nismo Numbered and if so Where? Thanks

They stopped numbering the Nismos a couple years ago...

My 2014 is #336. They stopped numbering with the 14s when Nismo was limited edition exclusive to Z only. 15s and up no numbering because now it's another trim, available for Zs, Jukes and GT-Rs, and prob more models later on. Correct me if I'm wrong..

I think if I was going to switch over to racing buckets rather than go with the '15 recarros I'd get the Bride Stradia Venus II's that wiggins as for sale. Than again if I had the coin laying around they would already be on the way.
