Questions for NISMO owners

Unexpectedfar · 09-19-2012, 04:09 AM

Hello fellow Houstonian (well im from Cypress but close enough) I was looking for leather seats too but knowing the weather here in Houston where its summer 9 months out of the year leather was out the window for me. My Nismo is not my DD more like for going out hanging with friends or date night but I love to drive that thing.

I purchased mine last September 7, I test drove a base 370 AT transmission took about 15 minutes but I already had the Nismo reserved for a test drive I just wanted to compare, the base had leather interior because the previous owner had one put in, after test driving the base It was time to test drive the Nismo and WOW the overall performance was noticeable..

after reading your post if you plan on keeping the car stock with minor mods and if you have the extra cash go with the Nismo, just them being limited production for each model year is nice to know. But if you plan on changing a lot of things suspension/motor etc.. etc.. get the touring sport.

You should check out this thread when you get a chance! Welcome to the forums!

There is just something very special about a Nismo.
I was in the same boat, and just fell in love with this car.
For one, the car at any speed, in any situation never lets you forget what it is (you're never going to think you're in a Honda).

Is there a good amount of road noise? Yes, but IMO - respectable for what the car is.

Is the suspension stiff? Yes, but I would never call it harsh like some review sites. It's extremely well planted and controlled - the car (as far as chassis and suspension) is sooooo capable.... The speeds at which it can enter corners are crazy.
