The NISMO redeems itself...ish

Kinda the same reason I bought the American version of the Mustang because the block and internals are built out of Unobtanium so it cannot break

That being said. Rip out ur airbag system. Add more carbon fiber/titanium n aluminum parts and u hav a japanese Z. That can change the dynamics greatly and wouldn't be surpised if the japanese Z is 2900lbs.

After extensive Intrawab research I have come to the conclusion that Chief is absolutely correct.

It's Japan's way of payback for the 2 nukes.

JDM and Europe (not 100% sure) Nismo's get most of the options the std Z's are offered. Leather, mp3, Nav etc. etc.. It was the same story with the Nismo 350. We always get shafted here in the states with this no options Nismo enhanced base Z nonsense.

Great stuff! I love watching Best Motoring. Sucks the Nismo Z34 didn't place as high as some of us would have liked but oh well. Entertaining to say the least.

Canada doesnt even get the nismo at all. THe 350 nismo never made it here. The handful of 350 nismos here were all imported american models. And so far, there's no indication the 370 nismo will be here either

Fun looking track to drive. Not sure about the "bumper" car driving though. I'd like to see individual lap times (ran solo) to see what car/driver could put down the best times.

need4speed · 10-12-2009, 09:29 PM

370z's in japan are not held to the safety standards here in the US. This Z May Possibly be 200 or 300 lbs lighter and may be using better quality internal parts. My friend in the service lived in japan 10 years. In that time he owned a bluebird, skyline and fairlady. He said the nissans in japan are a different breed. Much much better than the ones shipped to america. So for our soil. This article is extremely subjective.
