not everyone bought the nismo because it was sooo much faster than the base. some just like the exclusivity of it

in addition, resale value for a moded base model will be WAY less than a stock nismo

Totally agree

Actually I'm 28. LOL, I was speaking with a co-worker and he said if I where to mod my Z with everything that makes it a nismo that I could take it to Nissan and have them certify my car as a nismo. But if this does not exist I'd rather save myself the money and go beyond nismo.

This is like turning a MR2 into a Ferrari 355 and asking Ferrari to bless it and baptize it and say yes it is a 355 now. Its just not going to happen

Not quite on that level.

if you put the badge/body kit/ seats on a base model, i bet you could sell it as a nismo to 95% of the population....

not trying to spark any ideas...

Nismo450Z 03-17-2011 11:12 AM

Since its not possible and its confirmed my co-worker maybe full of hot air I will not attempt to make my car into something it is not. However I do have plans on installing the Nismo bodykit and rims, as for suspension, breaks, interior, and performace mods I do plan on going way beyond what Nissan has done with the nismo. Thank you all for you insight. And I am not changing my Name lol, so you OP name changers can kick rocks, I'm keeping my name.

Sorry to everyone on here that thinks Nismo is the ****!
But unfortunately it's not, just overpriced for being Nismo and the body kit (which is great).
Other than that it comes with intake, exhaust, tune, sways, rims, tires.
Not worth 38 or w/e the asking price is.
If I were you I'd get a base and just mod or get a used 09 nismo and mod that.
Cheers!

Overpriced?? i think not but theres plenty of other threads that can explain that one to you...

Only if they're loaded/fed properly. Otherwise they just stay empty and quiet.

KaienZ34 03-17-2011 01:23 PM

I can just smell the DEATH love in the air around this thread.
You can do whatever you want and put as many stickers/bedges on the car as you like but, nissan won't do a thing in terms of "nismo cert" or whatever your bootybuddy co-worker called it. They make the base model that you can add the sport and or the touring pgks too, and they make the nismo model that's it. :tiphat:




ps: your co-worker is completely full of sh!t.

jubei 03-18-2011 10:43 PM

You can also but all the parts and make a Shelby Mustang, but it's still not signed. Love my Nismo, worth every penny extra I paid for it!!

Jordo! 03-18-2011 11:31 PM

Just get the S-tune body kit, tune it and call it a day.

You can even put a Nismo badge on it -- in fact, one comes with the S-tune front lip.

I wonder if this co-worker has a "Nissan Certified" Base-to-Nismo Sentra?

sigh.... I've noticed the quality of our forum lately and the responses to the OP's. Rarely are the responses on topic anymore, nor are they helpful responses to the OP. Please try to keep on the topic guys and tone down the sarcasm. I don't want to see this forum go down the tubes like the others. That's been the reason why I joined this forum. Contributors were knowledgeable and respectful of others.

Now in response to the OP's first question, my answer is no, it will not be a nismo. It may "look" like a nismo, but will not actually "be" one. But the choice is yours, do whatever floats your boat. I like both the Nismo and the base model, but I chose the base model due to price... I just couldn't afford the Nismo at the time.

Good luck with your decision.

KaienZ34 03-19-2011 10:24 AM

If you notice, they only give sarcastic responses to people who don't use the search before starting new threads and/or making ridiculous posts.

It's just like this

I usually like to give a useful/meaningful response before I begin any sarcastic derailing. Although, I'm not usually the one who starts it.

Man I missed out on this thread. So I'm just gonna say to the OP is why would you want to slow your base model down to the NISMO's performance?
