2015 Nismo

chii370 · 07-08-2014, 05:03 PM

also keep in mind that its getting a lot of hype this time. the 09 nismo launched kinda incognito with everyone just responding with "huh, neat didnt know that was coming" but nismo is really stepping up their game with advertisement. starting with that whole 14 nismo vs wing suit thing. So unfortunately this may increase the price even MORE due to the fan fair. Same thing happened with the R35 launch, the 13 GT500, and the C7 corvette. All of them blew past their projected/pre promised MSRP by quite a bit due to pre orders.

Those recaro's are expensive, and we already know how much the navi costs...... my guess will officially be MSRP 45950 at least. makes me sad really, the Z might push itself into price extinction like the NSX/SUPRA/RX7 if this keeps up. Is a 370 really worth almost 50 grand?

People are saying the same thing about the R36. Price extinction. Dodge did the same thing with the Viper, along with the ones that you mentioned. Who know's?

It's not the entire platform just the top performance spec. That price point is fine imo. There is always a market for something like the nismo it's not meant to carry the sales of the Z.

Guy on Facebook group got a photo of a black one

still a no-go for me.

I like the front actually I might hold to see how conversion is

7speed · 07-11-2014, 10:14 AM

Looks pretty good in black.

himmy33 · 07-11-2014, 10:19 AM

Love the black! Wonder when these will be hitting the dealer floor?

Personally I owned a 2013 black Nismo and 2 changes I went to make right away was black out the headlights and new seats... This is a win on the new Nismo. Also I didn't want a large wing for personal preference reasons.
That 2015 to me looks better. Truly needs suspension drop and a set of better looking more aggressive forged lightweight wheels and exterior looks wise is done.

KaienZ34 · 07-11-2014, 11:55 AM

Any part numbers on the front bumper, or if it reuses the 09-14 nismo undershroud and fender liners?

12nismo · 07-11-2014, 11:56 AM

They basically took in every complaint about the nismo and changed it: limited rear visibility because of the wing=no wing, scrape the front lip=no lip, stiff ride="re-tuned" suspension (softer suspension), only comes in manual=auto option. They basically took all the things that make it a nismo and threw them out the window. The only thing that I like are the seats. IMO it is no longer a nismo, but rather a V2 sport. If you put the 2015 nismo next to the nismo sentra concept, you will see that they literally just transferred over the front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts and made them fit the Z. I highly doubt there was any wind-tunnel testing for this kit like there was on the current kit. It looks to be purely aesthetic with no aerodynamic benefits. Just my 2 cents though.

All old Nismos will lose 25% of their value now.....

Clearly this new one is 1 million times better.
