Future Nismo buyer with questions

JARblue · 12-16-2015, 10:44 AM

1. I doubt Nissan would change any significant interior elements before the new Z model comes out (or they discontinue the Z car).
2. Seat heaters on left and right. Fog light switch in the middle.
3. Fobgina. If you fob battery dies, insert fob into the fobgina and you can still start the car. There is a key in the fob that allows you to lock/unlock the car doors if the batter dies as well.
4. Sales dudes are fuckin stupid. If the car is new you can get a warranty through Nissan for a price.
5. Have fun - don't bother with the warranty if you're going boost. Do your research. Find an experienced shop.
6. Royal pain in the a$$. You basically have to take out the entire dash to remove them intact. There's one forum member who did it and has them displayed on a trophy case I believe.

Literally all of this is perfect ^^
The 2016 nismo is the same z34 chassy its not a different car just has some little extras on top of the sport package. You can bolt a stillen super charger kit on but I would get a shop and do your research before boosting.

I will update, agreeing with Terrible on two points.

5. Custom tune is absolutely necessary. The Stillen canned tune is garbage. Find an experienced tuner.
6. You can destroy the gauges to get them out without removing the entire dash. And you have to replace all three, as mentioned.

v6TT @ either 300 or 400hp trim to choose from for Q50, 2.0T as base.

And this is the sort of advice I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I'm a total rookie in the Nissan world, so none of the above has any meaning to me. Please break it down like I'm a four year old.

Cheers!!

Fog light switch in the middle? Not the OE one, Or that's just where you guys have been putting it? Canadian cars with the fog light it's on the left stalk with the headlight switch.

It is where the OEM switch goes for US models. JDM and Canadian models use the stalk. Not sure whether European models use the switch or the stalk.
