14' Nismo vs 15' Nismo?

I understand that 2015 has more options coming in automatic, new seats, includes navigation, etc. But from the looks of the 14' Nismo and 15'/16' Nismo, which do you think

But from the looks of the 14' Nismo and 15'/16' Nismo, which do you think is better, and why?

Red specifically

I personally went with the 14 for the more aggressive body kit and suspension. I also wanted the 1 year color combo.

I stared at the pictures for 5 minutes and still can't decide which one I prefer. They both look aggressive in their own way. Is there a significant difference in price?

I like both, but with the exception of the two tone Nismo wheels, the 15 wins out by a hair.

Imo its just little things, the recaros in the 15+ are amazing. The front end alone did it for me vs the 14. The slightly bigger final drive, doesnt matter if you are going 4.08. I think its personal preferance on body style

Ima say the '15/16 (for obvious reasons... body kit, recaros, etc.) but I will say that I struggle with the two different red tones in this particular color. In this case that's the one department where I think the '14 gets a win...

Default 14' Nismo vs 15' Nismo?

What I like about each one:
14- better wheels, stiffer suspensions, more aggressive spoiler, 1 year color combo, last year of Nismo limited numbering.
15- Recaro seats, blacked housing headlights, DRL.
Can't go wrong with either, but me being OCD, the 15 in red looks off with the the different shade of red accents.. Imo

agreed with TriNismo and i was in this same boat back in april..but unless you get a hell of a deal off the 14 id just go with the 15, because the recaros alone are worth like $6k EACH from dealer(seats are sold top and bottom separate pieces, brackets, tax, install etc). Suspension is bit more livable for day to day and if youre into performance you will probably get coils anyway.

I also recall reading the body kit on the 15 is like a few inches shorter than the 14..6 inches i think?

I recently purchased my pearl white 15 Nismo. Love it! I like the look of the 15/16 a little more then the 14. Get compliments almost every day I drive it. I like the wheels on the 14 a little more but the Recaro seats and exterior body just won me over.

When I bought mine they had the 15 NISMO, 14 NISMO, Standard coupe, and roadster all lined up. The 14 is noticeably longer. The NISMO's stood out from the pack with out a doubt. My wife actually thought the 14 NISMO was a completely different car than the other Z's. Probably one of the points that sold her.
