All I said, again, isn't how to replicate a nismo but how much of a modded Z would relate to the nismo. A nodded 370z and nismo are not so far apart... Both are paying the extra bucks for additional, not required, performances.

you guys aren't going to convince each other :)

i was sold on the car the moment i read that it looked like 'an angry catfish' :D

No its not the nismo exhaust, i got this exhaust off my PW 09 370z sports touring that i TRADED for my Nismo:) I modded that 370z with almost everything that you have on your list but at the end of the day it is still not a NIsmo. No offense I used to sound just like you when i had my PW 370z:) always looking for Nismo's imperfections dont get me wrong i love my 370z but every time i see Nismo it made me feel like there is something missing to the car, im not saying that Nismo is better than 370z but to me there is a lot of things that i like on the car that nismo has and 370z dont that is just me. so i went ahead and trade it in for Nismo and I tell you what:happydance: I am so much happier now.

billet370 are you just trying to justify the price you paid or what? you sure do care alot about this topic....

base, sport, touring are not "better" than Nismo's...it just depends on what direction you want to go...for what you get with a Nismo stock its definatly worth it IMO.

im pretty sure deep down inside he wants one...really bad to!:icon17:

lol i was bored and energized yesterday/early morning. vacation mode has no clock. It really started off as a basic argument, just to stir some **** but then, before it was too late, I convinced myself to stand up.

Its an argument like trying to choose between a Kia and a Hyundai..... Its a tie

:tup:

btw... after you see the picture of my carbon fiber dash, you will be jealous bwahaha posted

its not a tie...everyone know a Nismo is better!!..lol.

well. not exactly everyone :D

tie on basis that the argument was debatable both ways. I still stand behind my original statement but today I feel good enough to drop the topic.

I'm not scared of you guys with your mean looking cars :wtf2:

rawwr!!:mad::icon17:

that reminds me of a conversation i had with a friend after i got the the car.

"wow, big wing. can your car fly?"
"no. but it does sound like an airplane"

:)

haha..yeah i pretty much get the ricer treatment from my buddys as well..lol..

<----RawwwR! beats chest and jingles his nismo key fob meanancingly...:mad:






:happydance:

Did you ever get your car back from GTM for that SC testing? How is it now?

its still at Sams and he's tying in an oil cooler setup for me..the SC is done..put down 414whp/351wtq:tup:

Jealously and envy. Pure and simple. Ricer? Man no one I run into says it looks to Ricer. It's tastefully done not overboard. A lot of the other kits would look a little to overboard and I can see people say it looks ricer but not the Nismo in person. When I saw it in pics I could see where it looked to fast and furious but in person, not as bad. :driving: Good lookin car. Worth it! Haters gonna hate no matter what.

Are you Asian? Cause they may not say it to u due to hate laws and such bwahaha lol jk

I do agree with NismoRacer the Nismo is worth it for sure. I have had cars that were modified and one thing is for sure you never ever get your money back on a modified car. I don’t know may guys that are going to pay top dollar for used parts. Figure in labor time down and other crap involved. Really all in all I would say it’s a personal decision. And that's why a Nismo is worth it to me. OH and they are sooo sooo different!!

wow this whole thread sounds like the typical "WRX vs STI is it worth it"
At least between those 2 you get a bullet proof 6 spd tranny, Brembo brakes, suspension bits, way better wheels/tires, more differentials, bigger turbo and I still thought the STI wasn't worth the extra $7k.

Now knowing that the Nismo mostly gets a body kit with a small HP increase -that any exhaust can give you- and a stiff ride that most people seem to complain about I don't see myself ever even considering the Nismo.

just my opinion :tiphat:

woohooo... all 13 pages of this thread is worth it when One, and I just need One, to change his mind about the nismo then Ive done my job here BWAHAHAHAHA

Unsubscribing after fully proving my point and being the clear winner on objective not subjective assumptions.

Personally, I like the way the Nismo Z34 looks. I'm not stuck on creature comforts, as nice as they are, so I'd totally get the Nismo because of what it offers from the factory. It's got the styling I'd want on a Z, so that would be one less thing for me to 'fix' if I were so inclined.

:gtfo2:

you are doing nismo owners a favor :)
i would rather that people don't think it's worth it so there would be less of them on the road -- and that would make 370z nismo rarer/more special.

ahhh... :shakes head:... damnit your right. :iagree:

No I don't think they would hold back because of hate laws or whatever you're talking about. I've heard people say it about other cars. I wouldn't say it around an asian person unless they knew where I was coming from. Come on, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out it is a slightly racist term. Oh and my Nismo just seems to get faster and faster.

You know the Nismo is worth it. And yes on paper its a $10k difference. But with wheelin and dealin it's about &7k difference. Still worth it. You're mad you didn't get the Nismo that's why you keep posting about how its not worth it. We Know....... :icon23:
