My thoughts on the new NISMOs..

1slow370 · 02-12-2016, 09:46 PM

They are both stupid re badged money grabs over the sport model. F the seats i want factory turbos.

Also none of the production nismos were ever built by autech only the 380rs's were. I have ripped an 06 350 nismo to the frame and counted the welds exact same car as an enthusiast only with the hr motor that became standard in 07. At least in 2006 that was enough of a justification to actually make it worth it.

Edit: i actually have a really funny storry about going to branson z fest where a guy who had an 06 nismo drove my car and then told me that even though my car was faster his had better feel thanks to his (non) seam welded chassis and (almost identical to a base) tunned by autech (again nope) nismo edition suspension.

I would say that the new gen Nismo is an upgrade except for the spoiler. The wheels seem lighter but it ain't as pretty as it's older sibling. I could not find info to compare how much each weigh so it is conjecture. Nissan missed the perceived value of numbered Nismos. Clearly, their intention is not to have limited edition pieces. Hell they're pushing their bumpers for cheap. Much cheaper than the previous gen Nismos.

I love the new Nismo but personally not worth it for me. It's 12k more than the base with insignificant performance improvements. If money isn't a factor, I'd get the Nismo in a heart beat.

You have to take a ride on a new Nismo to appreciate it. The money is on suspicion, body works and interior. The base car is perfect one for the ones that wants to modify it you do not pay for upgrade will not loose money. Also remember that you will get that money back wen you sale it.
My self i love the new Nismo.

I like them, but not enough to trade my current Nismo for it. Not enough changed and too mild in the aggressive category IMO. If it had came stock with the Carbon Signal pieces on it with a more aggressive rear spoiler, I'd be on it in a heartbeat!!!

All they had to do was throw FI at it, but no... can't have anything nice when the bean counters are in charge.

No regrets on my 2010 Nismo purchased new. Still enjoy driving it and received many positive comments over the years. No plans on trading it in any time soon.

littlejuanito · 02-14-2016, 09:04 AM

Now, will we ever see the Nismo roadster? Or was it just a concept? Now that's a Nismo I would love

b15 · 02-14-2016, 09:10 AM

The current Nismo was the model I was hoping for when I bought my 2010 touring/sport/navi. The old Nismo was way too boy racer looking for me with a base model interior. The pre 2015 still has the best looking wheels though, specially the silver ones.

TriNismo · 02-14-2016, 11:41 PM

I love everything about my 14 Nismo over the 15+ models, except the seats and headlights. I installed the headlights (nice contrast of black on white), and if I ever get those seats my car would be the ideal Nismo for me.

now dat is one happy looking nismo.

cchheett55 · 02-15-2016, 05:59 PM

The only thing I can really care less about is the spoiler. Well that and they stopped numbering them since they expanded the NISMO to other models. I like the older nismos but the new ones are just... Wow. Especially the interior and when you lower them.

The BlueMax · 02-15-2016, 10:38 PM

I like the new Nismo over the old one except I would trade someone for the earlier Nismo wheels and White with red interior is the only color I would get in the new car
