2014 Nismo build mistake?

arkadiuss7 · 08-23-2013, 03:27 PM

Does anyone know if you can get full gun metallic colour in Europe? I'm from Poland and my dealer has told me that it's impossible.

Anything is possible with the right amount of money.

I am going to ask them about it. In addition, to be honest I don't think that black/gun metallic combo is that bad. It looks "stealth" in a good way.

lol im honestly surprised it took people so long to notice that. I noticed right away when I saw a "not white" 14 that all nissan did was take one look at the 13's rims and said to themselves "DERP THATS PURDY LETS PAINT OTHER STUFF WITH IT" and proceeded to do the lip, skirts, and wing. Instead of doing what Z fans actually want. for example, factory turbo.... like every generation of Z had till the 350, and its revised slightly upgrade the 370. and some god damn leather seats!!!! the JDM version had leather seats, sat nav and a stereo system since 2009!!!! sometimes I wonder to myself why I even like my nismo so much when I get constantly reminded by nissan they just dont give a **** anymore.

and no, for the record. the 14's new look is retarded. If you went to see fast and furious and said to yourself on the way out of the theater "I wanna be just like that one day" then its the right look for you. They are turning it into the stereotypical rice ball look that not every foreign car driver actually WANTS to be associated with. It just has that modded after markety look to it right off the show room floor. Its like putting a fart can on the back of a 458 Italia, you just dont mess with a car that looks this good already or anything you do just makes it worse, or makes it look like your a 15 year old.

New look? What new look? Have you seen the 350 Nismo? The only "new look" is that red stripe which I think is

chii370 · 09-01-2013, 09:50 AM

lol I meant the fake CF lip, side skirts, wing and yes that stupid red pin stripe on the mirrors and rear. Its almost like nissan sat down at a meeting with the intentions of fixing the horrendous sales of the nismo, saw a butterfly halfway through the meeting and all of them chased it except one of the new half retarded interns who then colored in parts of the car and put stripes on it......... who also probably got promoted for their stupidity.

If you look closely at the fugly Juke, the nismo version is EXACTLY THE SAME. lame CF and red pin stripes FTW.

The good news is our 2013 Nismos are the best out of all the 370z years and lineup

... Red calipers, Nismo aero without two tone, no cheesy pinstripes and gunmetal wheels.
I personally would have been pissed if I bought a 2013 after passing on the 2012 and then a 2014 comes out with more power, real carbon aero parts, recaro seats or a turbo... Nissan did me a faovr and solidified I made the right buying decision

Gotta look at the positive.

chii370 · 09-01-2013, 06:46 PM

haha good point. way to make some lemonade.

Couldn't agree anymore! I bought my 2013 late in the game and was so close to just waiting for the 2014's. I kept going back and forth on what to do and for the longest time I thought I would miss out on something by not just waiting a couple months. Thank god I didn't wait and go for a 2014. Not only was my 2013 quite a bit cheaper, everything you mentioned is what I like about it. So glad I didn't buy a 2014.

Geez, you guys are a little harsh on the 2014's. I don't really understand what is so bad about it... so the lower trim is painted gun metal, like the 350z Nismo... so that makes the 2014 Nismo crap? We all know that Nissan isn't going to upgrade the performance... hell they can't even sale 10k units a year. So was anybody really surprised when all that was done was cosmetic enhancements?

I agree. I personally not a big fan of the 14's 2 tone look. But why you guys hate so much? Looks are subjective. And it's not THAT bad imo. R8 has 2 tone why you guys don't call it rice. GT40 has stripes why you guys don't hate? 911 GT3 has a big wing like our nismo out of the box so it's cheap?? Come on guys you all know the nismo is a track version of the 370. Of course it will look aggressive. If you think it's rice and cheap, then you've bought a wrong car in the first place. Also, as long as it's a z34 you won't see a turbo v6 version of it.

I loveeeee the 2014. I have always been a fan of the 350 Nismo when I had my 350 so the two-tone with gun-metal rims and painted calipers brings back some nostalgia. I just don't like that dang stripe! Would I trade in my 2009 for the 2014 over a 2013? Absolutely.

There's nothing wrong with a two tone but the accent color should be complimentary to the main body color. The white 2014 Nismo is the only one that looks decent.
They should have done flat black for an accent off the Mag black BUT not do that much of the side skirt only the very bottom.
The pin stripe looks decent on the mirror but the front and rear do not enhance the look at all.

As for the cars you listed- R8 doesn't have a two tone, the Ford GT is an american car, and american muscle cars since the 50s-60s always used stripes etc so its common and accepted for that market. I didn't hear anyone say anything about the Nismos big wing either. ----

Well, my point is looks are subjective. Although I agree some of what you said, I am sure there will be a lot 2014 nismo fans out there still. Just like when the 370 just came out, the 350 guys called it a joke, a catfish a whatever but we still love it. Opinions are fine but no need to bash on the 2014 nismo.
