Chage color to silver- less of a cop magnet then red
Automatic - I can eat and drive at the same time
Nismo has too much road noise.

thought you said white?

I'd totally trade mine for a Nismo, not even joking!

this makes you sound like you belong in a camry than a sports car

So you bought a Nismo knowing that you are the type of guy who wants to eat in his sports car and avoid road noise?!

Dynamat and a vinyl wrap will solve 2 of those problems for under 2k id say stick with it. Its alot better then taking a 5k loss

"eat and drive at the same time" .....Folks this guy needs help!....I'm not sure if "we" can help him though.

Good luck OP.

At first I was thinking maybe I'll lose like 2 k, but five is a bit much, most likely I'll end up keeping it and adding progressive springs.

And to the comment about thinking before buying. I fell in love when I saw it on the lot. It was just too sexy I couldnt resist

shadoquad · 03-15-2011, 11:45 AM

I own a manual and can eat and drive at the same time. Did it on the way to work today, in fact.

And road noise will be an issue in any Z. If it bugs you, get dynamat or something.

I don't mean to be rude or offensive, but those are some lame reasons for trading. I can understand a Nismo---> Touring or Nismo--->G37Coupe. But Nismo--->Base doesn't make sense at all. Except for switching to an AT, you can modify your car for a "softer" ride. Swap the wheels for 18" and get a fatter tire and change the suspension. The Nismo is a cop magnet no matter what color. Don't give the cops a reason and they won't pull you over. Honestly, I've seen more Toyota Camry's than sports cars get pulled over.

If the offer was an even trade for a g37 coupe I would do it. But i didn't want to dump any more money into it.

Any Z will attract attention if it's doing something illigal, just like any other car. We just have the problem of 'looking' fast. Color is of little concern.

If you're going to be eating and driving, please tell me on which roads so I can avoid them.

Z's by nature will have road noise. This can be lessened by getting different tires, dynamatting, turn up your stereo, roll down the windows... nom nom something. It's meant to let you feel the road through all your senses...

It's meant to be enjoyed. If it's not something you like I have to ask, did you even take it for a test drive???

Remind me never to bring my woman around you...

Yet you're going to anyways no matter what you do. So the best thing you can do is hold what you have which is a little unique, and adjust the ride to suit you. Instead of taking a loss, then changing your mind later on and wanting a PG or Black Z.

I would try and arrange a private transaction with another person. That's the best way to do this.

shadoquad · 03-15-2011, 03:05 PM

upon further inspection, I was mistaken. You can only return it if it's a lemon.
