I love it. They did a great job of making it look upgraded w/out being too ricey and in your face.

My only complaint is that I want to use paddles to shift gears. I've just watched too much Formula One in my life.

Also, is that the same Brilliant Silver that's available right now? Looks much better than I've seen.

Yup shame they went the same route this time round as well...

Oh well other than that I like the new Nismo. It has a great look, not over the top at all. Aggressive with class. :tup:

another thing is while the akebono calipers look pretty good. the wheel spokes are so thin it exposes the rotors so much, im thinking a drilled or slotted rotor there would help with that area of the car.

something im sure can easily be addressed in the aftermarket.


all i know is im gonna be first in line to test drive one in june

It's just the Nismo exhaust. Minicobra1 already has it and there are pics of it posted it already.

Two Tone you say?:icon17:
Here's a quick one.

yes please! exactly like that

I have the S-tune Nismo exhaust as well and it's not an H-pipe design as the article is stating, just bigger piping than the stock Y-pipe catback.

My sentiments exactly. I'd love to have the nismo with leather and NAV.

I chose a z33 GT over a Z33 Nismo for that reason. However, I have always secretly lusted for a Z33 nismo when I hit the twisties.

Anyone else notice the extra bracing on the strut-tower brace near the strut towers?

EDIT - lol, that statement sounds very redundant...

You could always Net the nismo and have the seats upholstered And buy aftermarket Navigation system. That's what I would do.

Yep - and go aftermarket Nav...

But I really like the way the factory nav integrates into the steering wheel adn how it is voice-activated. Also, the HDD music storage in the touring/NAV package is cool.

Definitley doable...

yeah of course.

im just sayin its one thing if you are trying to get into a 370z and 29-30K is where you need to be to make it happen. so no leather no nav thats fine... but if your buying the most expensive trim on the coupe at atleast 10K more you shouldnt have to sacrafice anything. and its not just the NAV its the interface screen in general with the driver info and the radio station display for me it adds alot to the overall feel of the interior instead of that door.

not complaning at all its just i dont understand why it has to be an either or situation. why cant for 3.5K more you have the option to add that as a package to your nismo. in japan the NISMO 350z came with NAV standard and these beautiful leather and alcantra seats. it seems it was a marketing decision to not offer it in the US


if i didnt have a GT-R june 1st or whenever they hit showrooms i would be there in line for one. i would want this over a carrera cayman S or M3. but i would want a 45K if it need be car with everything the touring has that would compare with the other cars i mentioned.... that would still be by far the best value

Amen and Amen, brother! Nissan, When? Why no love for the US market?

Oh, and in Japan they get DVD playback on the screen too... and a backup camera!!!

I want it all...

tell me about it my GTR even has an AUX video screen option on the display with no DVD playback and no optional backup camera. aftermarket has solved that but still.


yeah the 370 in japan gets optional back up camera

Japan and Europe always gets the goodies. :shakes head:
