My New 2013 Nismo

DavidB123 · 09-02-2012, 03:55 PM

I just used Meguiar's Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner to clean my new Nismo rim. It cleans ok. Does anyone have cleaning and polishing product recommendations?

I've used Meguiar's rim cleaner also but find that standard car wash shampoo works just fine. I typically use some quick detail cleaner on the wheels at the end to provide additional protection against brake dust.

Be careful with what you use on your rims; they are painted. I just use carwash and water. I then follow-up with some spray on wax/quick detailer.

heard unsettling news of a highly possible RS model of the nismo which will have:everything IMO the regular nismo SHOULD have had for its asinine premium that has already been mentioned. as everyone here knows, they made a RS 350 called the 380RS which as the Nissan engine naming convention goes indicated it has a 3.8l v 6 with some pretty wicked suspension and break improvments. as well as the Aero kit inspired by the "race spirit" car and the engine supposedly made upwards of 400fwhp. and could be yours for a pretty penny. this was, and will be again in my probably shared opinion a
D I C K move on Nissan's part. I for one would be particularly pissy if I was one of the thousands that will blow their load buying the 13.....o wait, I was

honestly I hope 1 of 3 things happen. they make it and u can't buy it. they make it and its 10 quadrillion dollars. or they never make it at all.

Not highly possible, it's been out for a while now. Just do a forum search and you will find pictures of it somewhere... goes for over 100K.

I inquired about this last April when I ordered my Nismo and the regional rep said that it was not available. I had read about it online and wanted one.

The fogs are for non-Nismo's only.

congrats, man.

dont worry the RS 370 Nismo will be very expensive. You did good getting yours now.

DJFLIPSIDE · 09-04-2012, 06:00 PM

Congrats...Awesome! looks great in black.

Nice looking car! I have the same color on my Nismo. I love the black chrome wheels/red calipers. Factory murdered! Dealership had my car sitting on the floor, didn't have to order and wait.

I didn't get the Bose package...so no Bluetooth. I'm planning on adding an aftermarket headunit with dvd player though.

The body kit on the 380rs is ugly! i would not want one. Although, I just took my Nismo in for an Oil change and they had a new 2013 GTR sitting in the room... I do want that..

I test drove a charcoal gray one (GT-R) before I picked up my Nismo. Very fast but the Nismo felt like more of a sports car. The GT-R had so much power but it was an automatic. For $129,000 I wouldn't buy an automatic. I am hooked on my 2013 Nismo!! The last Z I had was my first car and it was a 240Z!

I got the chance to drive one at a track and I know EXACTLY what u mean. 100% honesty it ROMPS my z around a track but its not as fun. yes it glues your face to the drivers side window on right turns and u will be wearing a neck race after 2 weeks of owning it. but its SO good that its boring. its nearly impossible to make the car go wild or even come close to losing grip unless u r just retarded and go into a 50 MPH turn at 120. in that regard it reminded me of a go cart. by the time ur in it for 30 minutes and your on lap 20 the smile u had is now gone, your bored. YAY CONTROL. and don't dare turn off the traction control (which doesn't change anything) otherwise Nissan is chomping at the bit to void your warranty. don't even get me started with launch control. if all u care about is numbers? by all means be dumb and surrender your 130k. if u wanna have FUN save ur cash and get a 370. toss 20k at it and it will be right beside the gtr.
