I'm not sure, I just remember RB something swap... I'm not really familiar with those engines. He said he got bored of it after awhile, and that he has 2 Integras at the moment.

Maybe he ment RB20 or something, RB26 is the Skyline GTR engine, which is the engine of gods

A rb 240 that's enough to keep pace with a Z06....he got bored of it....then went on to a front wheel drive car?

Not looking down on integras but lol that's hard to believe

Lol IDK about that, but anyways...

His wife was sitting in the car and he says to me "my wife said to tell you awesome car! She said she seen you a couple days ago driving around and that your exhaust was so loud it scared the sh!t out of her when you passed by". I just started laughing. I told him, "yep, that was probably me".

It is possible that he had an S13 w/ RB2X swap. I would even venture to say that it was done on a budget. Which would explain why he has 2 Integras now.

Today I was on I-5 northbound in Seattle just cruising in moderate traffic; I looked over and a guy in an older Celica was either filming or taking pictures of my car. Haha, I probably wouldn't even take pics or videos of a Ferrari so I was pretty surprised that somebody took that much interest in a mere Nissan; my car is aesthetically stock excluding the gangster tint. He had his phone pointed at me for so long that I thought maybe he was taking video to capture the sound of my mean sounding exhaust.

Hotrodz · 06-10-2013, 08:49 AM

To funny, yesterday driving north bound on the I-17 I went to pass a white 350z and got stuck behind a slower car while making the pass and when I look over the passenger in the 350 was snapping picture of my car with his phone. They gave me the thumbs and then moved over so I could go by. Lots of compliments lately...even had a guy wait at the door of a drug store I was at to see who was going to get in the Z. When he saw me unlock the door he rushed out to tell me how nice my car was and he wanted to take a look inside.

It kind of funny how a lot of people think its a high end sports car like a Porsche or Ferrari.

NismoZ70 · 06-13-2013, 12:38 PM

I've had quite a few people at work ask me what kind of car it was even though you see Nissan on the front and back. One guy asked me if it was a Porsche. The car definitely has a different look from the base/touring Z, which is the reason I got it, so it seems to confuse people some times. I've also had people in G's give me the thumbs up or honk at me as I was driving. Not too many people wanting to race though, just admiration of the car

lrh805 · 07-06-2013, 09:59 PM

I've had quite alot of attention with my nismo in the 4 weeks i've had it. People on the fwy following me (vettes/viper etc). I think alot of people aren't sure what it is haha. A few have said it looks like a porsche, which it does look alot like a Panamera.. shape, bulging wheel arches, sloped rear, rounded front, just not as big and bulbous as the porsche. That's one reason i bought this car, there are harldy ANY running around on the streets. I looked at used M3's, prices are rediculous! and thought .. yah nice car but i see bmw's every 30ft, who cares just another bmw

KingJoseph · 07-07-2013, 02:25 AM

Same for me, it was actually between the Nismo and a blood red 2010 M3 coupe w/ black wheels. Looked awesome, but dealer wouldn't budge on his (over KBB) price and it had like 45k miles (in 3 years?!). It was an easy call to get a brand spankin' new Nismo over that.

I have gotten a ton of comments on my car lately since taking it out of the garage. Although it pertains more to the FI exhaust I have installed, a vendor at my work saw me in the parking lot and was like, "Dude, those pipes sound beastly!" and proceeded to ask all kinds of questions about the Nismo in general. It seems like it gets a lot more appreciation from guys than girls, unfortunately. My buddy's sister saw a bunch of our friends fawning over it and was like, "It's still a Nissan. I like Mercedes." wtf ever, I am still not sick of looking at my car and it's been over a year since I bought it.

Or shes asian. My wifes japanese and they have this predetermined ignorant bias engrained in their very DNA that having a merc or bmw means your successful. No other company, no matter the price. ESPECIALLY if its a japanese car its instantly looked down upon. Having the cheapest merc made would be prefered over a GTR or a LFA. Whatever, other people are allowed to be as stupid about opinions as they want to be, its still just an opinion. I know my nismos a sexy beast. Fact.

cv129 · 07-13-2013, 09:52 AM

My asian wife's list

Nismo 370z
911 GTX variants
SL550 or 63

But she drools over the Nismo the most, she loves that ***!

Gungrave · 07-13-2013, 03:08 PM

My girl loves Audi's. She wants the RS5 even though it's severly overpriced, in my opinion lol.

chii370 · 07-13-2013, 04:43 PM

see the connection? seems that japan has a german complex or something. 4 of the 5 listed. my wifes dad drives 3 bmws and a merc and always talks about how he wants a GT3 RS. I keep telling him to not waste his money, get a nismo which looks exactly the same and TT it...... and get the same results lol. 100k cheaper. I dont know how many times ive been at a gas station and have been asked "what year is your porche" I just roll my eyes and point at the big OBVIOUS nissan badge. But in their defense....... if you set the GT3 and the nismo side by side...... they look identical, with the exception the porches 2 exhaust tips are in the center, not on the outer edges. did nissan do that on purpose? even the rear break cooling vents on the *** are the same lol. which btw.... do nothing.

Are you really comparing a Nismo to a GT3 RS?

Come on dude. Even if you TT a Nismo, a GT3 is still 10x's the car
