How Much Harsher is the Nismo Ride?

NissanGuy23 · 01-22-2014, 01:31 PM

The great stiffness of the chassis helps alot, hard to describe but when i drive over a really bad road in my '96 jeep, there is a ton of noise, like crashing and creeking and banging, makes me cringe. If i go over the same road i the nismo, its very quiet, you get a low 'thud' sortof noise, but in the nis you're physiclly bobing up and down alot more.

Its stiff but daily driveable, nothing extreme. Im in the weird croud that loves the stiff ride, and how it communicates ever dip and crevice in the road to you.

I have two Chevy 2500 (3/4 ton) pickups, one with air bags(2006) and a 2013 with no mods. I tow a 15K camper with it, neither truck rides as stiff as my Z.

My 2010 NISMO is STIFF, but I'm used to it and like the ride/performance.

Is it stiff?

After 12K miles I am starting to show signs of CTE.
