Here's the plan
 
Going to test drive the Z this week, hopefully minus the bounce! Having a hard time finding a black manual Nismo anyway. So, we'll see what happens and hopefully it's a little smoother. That way I won't have to get the girls reduced. :p

there is a extremely high chance that the spring spacers are still on and that you will have a rough ride on your test drive. Once those come off it is much much better.

I'm picturing those girls bouncing

Thought the spacers were only on the Nismo?

Be sure to check the tire pressure as well. It should be 35PSI cold. My NISMO came with it set to 45PSI all around and after being lowered the car felt smoother. I can only assume dealers set it high so if a car is sitting on the lot for a long time they don't have to worry about it being under inflated.

yah, psi is one of the key areas to check for stiff ride.

i would keep it 35-37psi cold.

if you have a hard time finding a black nismo, local dealership to me has one. Can get you in touch with them if ya need.

Where have you looked in Houston for a black Nismo?

Gosh I don't even know... But I did drive the Z today and it was much smoother than the Nismo! Absolutely loved it. Now have to decide whether or not I want to spend $29k on a car.

Appreciate the help everybody!

It's ridiculous you can drive a car this fun for $36k. If you can get it for cheap, it's a no brainer. :p

Did the car you drive have the Sport Package? I would imagine not - most likely why you preferred the ride.

Do it!!! :tup:

spend money help stabalize the economy
mortgage is just a fancy term for "im paying for a garage for this awesome car"
Kid in high school? wtf get em out and get em to work to help pay for toys for this new ride.

The ride is the same aside from the different tires, slight difference for sure but not all that much. Stiff Nismo with spring spacers, well that's going to feel like they forgot to install suspension.

qbblitz 09-29-2010 02:02 PM

They're down to $28,450. $30,621 w/TT&L... Ugh... I wish he was old enough to work! Not much longer!!!
