New to the Nismo life

For starters - you'll be able to use the side rear/small windows to look out unlike (at least to me) the touring where the seat headrest gets in the way. I believe the gearing is different in the Nismo - 3.92:1 rear axle ratio (according to another thread).

Basically it'll be the same car (at least to me - came from a 2010 Sport to a 2017 Nismo) but the recaros are some of the best in my opinion as well as I love the bodykit compared to the current sport and base Zs. The interior has darker colored parts for the doors and what not, and the exhaust was slightly different sounding. Overall, if you love the Touring - I think you'll love the Nismo. The suspension is tighter when comparing stock Nismo to stock touring/sport Zs but if you are already used to your current Z - you'll be fine.

I'm sure I'm missing things that others will fill you in on - also - I would do a search to see what other people have to say etc. Where did you wind up buying it from? DFW area or more south like Austin or San Antonio?

Thanks for the reply! I'm getting it from a dealer just outside of Dallas.

I'm gonna be taking my Invidia catback off my Touring before I trade it in and putting the original back on, will it fit the 2015 nismo and is there any harm in doing so?
