Disclaimer: Not claiming any year(s) are better than others, it is very subjective.

The pre 2015 Nismo had the same seats as the regular Z, just with a nismo logo

The 2015+ Nismo wing is not the same as the sport spoiler, to the point where if you pull it off you can see how the rear bumper is extended to accomodate its thickness

Front facia "shared by Sentra"? The Nismo Z facia debuted in 2015. Nismo Sentra in 2017. Sorry

Anyways, everyone is being defensive about the pre 2015 Nismo when it's simply reality what it is.

The bottom line:
All the Nismos from any year don't really add enough to justify the difference in MSRP.

The gap shrinks when you go to the used market, where it's down to condition and mileage.

The 2015+ Nismo literally offers more stuff, such as the seats and shorter gearing, or the tech interior

The pre 2015 Nismo has a much stiffer suspension, this is well documented. Whether its "better" or not is dependent on the individual and what they want

No matter what, anyone modifying their Z is tossing the suspension, intake, and exhaust ANYWAYS, so really what it comes down to is which body kit you want and whether you care about the seats.

Pretty sure I can purchase Recaro (or any bucket seats) for my 14 Nismo, or Honda Fit for that matter

Indeed you could, no one's ever said otherwise

But the point remains, the 2015+ nismos come with them from the factory.

If you're just talking about throwing aftermarket parts, then as i pointed out . . . it doesn't matter which year you get. Just get the best condition one you can for your budget, with the body kit you want. Toss the suspension, interior, exhaust, intake, etc away and replace all that junk.

False. You obviously haven't sat in a pre-2015.

Front facia "shared by Sentra"? The Nismo Z facia debuted in 2015. Nismo Sentra in 2017. Sorry

...and they are still shared front facia. Sorry.

I disagree, totally worth the difference in $$$.

Not finished yet, painting the calipers to match and adding purple lug nuts.

Looks great! Love the matching pin stripes, side blades, exhaust tips, and it looks like matching purple nuts on the caynards

Thanks Tick64. Looks much better in the flesh. I cant seem to get the photos to do the car justice.

The Sanitation Engineer cleaned up the sewage.

Guess he used a plunger.

Carry on!

Just finished lowering the car on Tein S-Techs and throwing on some meaty 265/305 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 6s. Figured it’d be worthy enough for this thread now lol!!

Car is still basically stock. Besides the mods mentioned above, it has a Hotchkis front sway bar, Z1 camber arms, Z1 2-piece rotors and EBC red stuff pads. It’s a great platform!

NismoSpain · 09-30-2018, 04:49 PM

After four days of intense detailing on my '14 Nismo I could say... it's enough! The outcome is awesome from my point of view. The detail process consists of:

1. Full body polishing using DA polisher for paint correction
2. Full body gloss enhancing using DA polisher
3. Some touch-up paint
4. Wheels sealant

And many more things!
