Standard over Nismo?
 
Im starting to like the way the standard version looks over my Nismo. Is this wrong?..lol.

Togo 02-26-2010 04:45 PM
Why would it be wrong? The Nismo kit looks good.

tonybui 02-26-2010 04:50 PM
Nope, I like the non-nismo version better.

The nismo to me is ricey with that wing, and the rims don't look as good as the sprt package one. For an extra 18 HP and firmer suspension won't work on me lolz

But, to each his own !! you own a nismo

Togo 02-26-2010 04:53 PM
Wait i read that wrong. It's fine to like the Standard over the Nismo. The Nismo still looks good though.

Trips 02-26-2010 04:54 PM
They both look good, and it's just a matter of taste. conservative or aggressive

wishihadnav 02-26-2010 05:00 PM
actually i think the standard version looks more aggresive..dont get me wrong i like the way my nismo looks but it kinda looks like a 350 imo..haha..

It's the fangs right? J/K, I like the rear of the BASE/TOURING Z. It is simple and clean. Not so sure about the fangs though.

I have a hard time dealing with the rear valence on the S-Tune kit though. I just seems strange to me. I just bought the NISMO instead of spending money on aero. I would rather spend that money on performance upgrades.

The NISMO isn't ricey, but I agree that huge wing is kinda in the way. I am not going to say that I like one more than the other, but I like both in their own way.

Oh I wasn't talking or even considering the S-Tune kit.

Personally I think standard looks better. I didn't like the fangs at first but they've grown on me and now I really like them.

zfokaiz 02-26-2010 05:14 PM
imo im starting to dislike the spoiler on the sport pkg. idk just looks cleaner w/o it to me.

roplusbee 02-26-2010 05:59 PM
Oh my bad. I was a little confused.

What are the styling differences between the base sport and touring sport? I thought they were the same.

As for looks....I prefer spoilers over wings. (Except on GT3's.)

No difference between styling on Base and Touring

The Nismo rims look better than the Sport Pkg and they are hella flush with the fender also. ;)

galtamar 02-26-2010 06:58 PM
Is a matter of preference but i really didnt like the fangs, and the NISMO wheels are much better looking than sports one.

roplusbee 02-26-2010 07:25 PM
I think that is what infuence me to go with the NISMO, but really it just felt like the right choice for me.

NewlyIMPORTed 02-26-2010 08:03 PM
i like the simple look of the 370 without the spoiler but i love the nismo wheels and the break vents in the rear. and the performance plus with the sport package is a good deal i have the base but i would like to have either the sport of the nismo but all the looks have their own flair

Nismo extra 20hp
 
Hello new to the 370 page and looking to buy my 370 in the next month. Was wondering what was added to the nismo to get the extra 20hp? Also any advice anyone might have as far as options or whatever before I purchase my 370.

Thanks and love this forum cant wait to get my Z

I got the base with automatic and find it to be plenty car for my needs. Everyone's priorities are different but if you're on a budget, the base Z can be more than sufficient. Cloth seats are nicely done, beautiful wheels and plenty of power equipment are included. As I said, it's all a matter of priorities.

fatcat777 02-26-2010 08:38 PM
i was going to go nismo. I liked the body kit so much it was worth the extra 6k to me, then i fell in love with the non nismo. Luckily i was able to find a 2200 mile used 2009 fully loaded sport touring for 6k off invoice and the rest is history.

mick 02-26-2010 08:47 PM
that's why nissan makes more standard 370z than nismo 370z :)

kevr6 02-26-2010 10:38 PM
I don't like the NISMO for looks. Love the wheels but the car reminds me of the old Plymouth Superbirds of Nascar!

KillerBee370 02-26-2010 11:19 PM
Love the back of the nismo... hate the front. Hey wait a sec.... where does that leave me? :p

kdoske 02-26-2010 11:20 PM
I like the rear but the front kills me. If you can put the rear nismo on the standard Z it would look hot.

i originally loved the nismo Aero kit when i first saw it...I definitely didn't buy it expecting any major performance upgrades. However, the other day, I overheard one of my friend's neighbors saying "who would put a wing on a 350z?". I guess the fact that he didn't know it was a 370 means he doesn't follow nissan too closely.

I was happy to spent the extra money to have something a little different, I just hope the majority of people don't think I just tacked on a huge wing after buying the car.

Unfortunately there are a lot of non-car enthusiasts in the world today, so thats going to happen more often than not. Every girl I meet's initial reaction is "Ooh, you drive a 350Z!", makes me wanna stab a baby every time...

Nope, not unusual. Both look fine. I prefer the non-Nismo myself.

ahah...i know the feeling. It seems like no one knows the 350 has been discontinued yet.

I just don't want people thinking I haphazardly plastered a giant wing on the back of my z :icon14:

MightyBobo 02-27-2010 11:43 AM
My girl knew exactly what it was when she saw it. Im so proud :)

Likely not that good since you'd have to use the stillen side skirts to match the front or the nismo sideskirts to match the rear and miss matching body kits generally doesn't work because they don't carry the same lines. If the nismo sideskirts work with the stillen front end it might look like something.

i love the giant wing and wide body style because it looks like i am driving a racing car whereas everybody else on the road is driving mini vans and suv.

the irony is most of those people with the mini vans and suv drive faster than I do.

Montez 02-27-2010 06:14 PM
1= Sport package with either base or touring
2=Base
3=Nismo

That's the order that i like them.

xfrgtr 02-27-2010 07:55 PM
nismo=best looking Z

coaster 02-27-2010 11:32 PM
I, personally, went with the base model+sport package. I think they both look good. I prefer my spoiler over the Nismo one.

:iagree:

I can definitely see where some people would prefer the base/sports Z though. It has a classy look to it, while still maintaining aggressive lines.

To me, when I look at the base/sports, I see "sporty car". When I look at my Nismo, I see "sports car". :tup:
