lol 1500 bucks a piece? it IS the sportster CS tuning seat!!!! and here someone was trying to sell a pair of juke nismo seats for 2600 for the pair. just go buy the ones nissan picked to be in the 370z. and pay a couple hundred bucks to have "nismo" embroidered on them. beats the retail price of 9000.... :roflpuke2

rims are terrible, whale tail looks ******* stupid, body kit was an after thought, seats are a markup commercial of the shelf item, navi just adds weight USE YOUR PHONE, and auto is for pansies that wanna be part of the real man sports car club :eekdance:

It shocks me every time I see it, then I laugh for 20 minutes. Nothing about this car is a win. especially after they release the 48-50k price tag before tax/title/license/gap/warranty. No thanks.

The way the front and rear fender have that lip, is that a new standard thing?

My thoughts are the new z will have some details found in this car. More angular lines rather then so smooth like the base z.

You know Nissan they fire out the 40th anniversary wow gunmetal wheels and red brakes... oh wait a year or two and all will have that. They did the same thing with the 35th anniversary 350z and the special wheels which became standard the next year.

This my friends is a future look into the styling of the new z. They use this to get out thoughts on the new bumper sides rear. And tweak slightly on people's knocking it.

The real trick for the new z would be to have a true track based z that is lighter. Better brake package. Minimal accessories to keep weight down. Lighter exhaust better more efficient aero package that actually focuses on down force and lift.

I will be the minority and say I like the Nismo. Granted the price is ridiculous but I do like the looks of it.

Not a fan of the new Nismo so I opted for the '14, although I should have waited because there are a few unsold ones at dealerships and I bet I could have gotten them for 37K new!

I wonder how long before the prices do drop.

I suppose it really depends how people respond to the new bodykit and automatic option.

1500 for the sporster CS is for a cloth base seat.
You want nicer material like in the Juke Nismo RS or Nismo Z seats that will be 2,000 per seat. Throw in rails for each seat and now your total is probably 5,000 minimum (including shipping to wherever).

Also if you look at the 2015 Nismo Z seats they are not full Sporster CS, only the back portion is, the butt piece is still the 'normal' seat base all other years have had so you do not even get the full seat.

Technically I never caught it, 12nismo did when we were talking about it a few weeks ago.
I missed the launch (on my honeymoon) so he was giving me all the "new" additions, and when I asked about the seats he showed me the picture of how they are half-a$$ing it. I mean, even the GT-R Nismo is not getting the proper seats because of airbag rules in the USA.

Honestly, for anyone who wants the new seats just buy them from recaro and have a shop upholster them the same color (they will match perfectly).

sad nissan, sad...

Any word on when the new nismo is coming out?? Heard in the July, but nothing here yet.

All press releases say July, but could be July 31.
Might call your local dealership and see if they have any details.

Press release by Nissan from July 8, so packages are out, pricing will be due soon.
The 2015 Nissan Lineup: Charting the Changes - 370Z Coupe and Roadster - Nissan Online Newsroom

As of this morning, the Nissan dealerships in my area claim they still can't preorder the vehicle. I tried prying if they knew any NDA info, without actually needing to reveal it, but was told they knew as much about the NISMO 2015 as I did. The largest dealership still had about a half dozen new 2014 coupes (with and without the sports package) still in stock, and admitted they didn't know what pricing plans for them was going to be once the new model was out.

As for the 2015 NISMO: they're already expecting it to be more expensive than the 2014 NISMO, as it's hard for them to sell manual cars in general, so only intend to acquire the automatic version. Also was told preorder demand wasn't as high as they expected. Only two other people aside from myself, have been asking around. They get more questions on the upcoming Murano. Not sure if that means Nissan needs to step up their advertising blitz or that fewer people are interested in the new model. Maybe it's a bit of both...
