Gotta love the nismo even in stock form

Welcome to 370.com
You just purchased my next car!!!
Post your opinion about it.. I'd like to know what you think of a few things...
I had an 09 6 MT...currently in a last G37, I'm going to the 7sp auto.. I've changed my opinion on the fun associated with those sweet little shifter after test driving a M235i..
I leave the gear changing to my ZX10R..
I'd love to get the Bimmer but the Nismo is just do damn sexy..

anyhow.. I'd like to know how stiff the ride feels and if you notice road noise..

Hi,

Thank you. The car is a great looking machine first of all. You are absolutely right. Damn sexy.

The car is stiff but not extremely stiff. I don't find it uncomfortable to drive at all. The complete opposite, I love driving it around locally.

The only other two seater I can compare it to is a 1986 Corvette my friend had when we were younger. It was worked and had over 360hp back in the early 90's. The corvette was stiffer than my Nismo. I've been in newer Mustangs but really don't consider them true sports cars since they are not two seaters.

I haven't noticed any real road noise. Nissan says they added more sound dampening for this Nismo. I haven't taken it on the highway but have done 60 on the side roads plenty and it never came to mind.

Any other questions, let me know.

Nick

Odd request.

Can you take a picture of your muffler? Actually a picture of the metal tag (plate) that is on the bottom passenger side?

I have a curiosity. I went and test drove a 2015 NISMO at a local dealership in STL and noticed that the stock NISMO muffler was made HKS. I got a hold of a NISMO catback from a 2010 or '11 and i believe the tag was stamped AUTECH or something else. Can't remember.

Here is a picture of my car:

I have one from mine and it does say HKS.

DAMN THATS AWESOME :tup:

Same here.

Looks like you've got the hang of parking it now. I was really worried when I saw how close your nose was to the curb in your first picture ;)

The car's not particularly low, but the front and rear aero bits mean that in addition to keeping away from curbs, you have to approach inclines much more cautiously than the other 370z trims. And of course, if the car's ever towed, it has to be placed on a flatbed.

I saw a black one at the dealer. It even had the cargo privacy cover!

I'm curious to see one in black. I think white would still be my favorite but there were like no black in the state when I bought mine.

Mine, just before I picked it up, ready to go home:

Very nice. Can't wait to see one in person. The interior with the black exterior must look sick.

Black looks fvcking siiiiiiickkkk...

Beautiful ride brotha! congrats :D

:iagree:

Love how looks in black man!! :drool:

Isn't that standard equipment? It's basically just a sheet of vinyl on a roller, like really cheap window shades.

Mine came with one and I'll be damned if I ever need it, considering I have the rear windshield tinted.

Coral, beautiful Nismo man! I have an 08 Nismo 350 (27k miles) right now and I'm thinking of doing the trade for the new one. I still wonder if the whole re-design was as they claimed for more "downforce"? I did see that they re-used the same yamaha dampers on my 08. How are you liking it so far?

I think it depends on the year. Mine didn't have it and I have a touring =(

Thanks. I Love the car. I know people are annoyed because they didn't upgrade the engine but the car handles amazingly and the Recaro seats make it look so bad azz from the outside I'm almost thinking of not tinting the windows. And I'm in south Florida so tinting is must.

The car definitely seems to stick to the ground and you can almost feel the downforce. They only thing I can compare it to was going 130mph in an 86 Corvette and that car felt like it was about to take off and fly. I had my car up to 110 for a quick burst and never felt as if there was to much air under the car.

The interior is just beautiful with the alcantara and stitching. This car is really classy. My neighbor whose had tons of sports cars and has a 1000 hp Turbo AMG SL just loves my car.

I'm not sure why a lot of people hate on the wheels. They look sick on the car. The contrast on the pearl white is awesome. The wheels even have metal flake for a nice sparkle.

The only thing I want is a tune and some test pipes to get another 20-30 hp out of it and It will be perfect.

Thanks for your feedback Coral! I still like the old body style, but I'm sure this new style will grow on me. That's good to know in regards to the overall feel of the car.

Why do they use finishing nails to hold that piece of trim around the fenders ? My Nismo doesn't have the same nails holding that piece in place

I dont mean to be that guy but nismos need 15mm spacers all around anymore and you will rub or need to mod fenders or camber. I have swifts with 15mm all around, rear has -1.6 camber and its close to the fenders. Gorgeous color hope you get some mods on before winter!

Ill give you some black pics too :phttp://i63.tinypic.com/2wqhlyb.jpg

Is there a plug already there to plug into for the kick plate.

Very hot!
