the Nismo is Tight!!!

Just like before, not worth it. Although the body parts look pretty.

Huh. The Nismo is supposed to be for the track, yet there is no oil cooler... on a platform that people have already complained has oil overheating issues. And you're spending 7 grand more than a Base/Sport (probably less negotiation room since it's a 'limited edition'), for as already stated, some body bits, some badging, and 18bhp. Wow.

To paraphrase James May 'What you have here is a car dressed up with the tinsel of high performance.'

Gotta say, if I was doing a Nismo, I would've done this for 7 grand (and of course Nissan gets all their stuff at cost or lower, so this is do-able): real limited slippy diff (Quaife anyone??), good sport bucket seats (hell, Nissan owns Renault and Renault throws Recaros in their Megane and Clio high performance models, so not THAT far-fetched), suspension, brakes (even just up-rated pads/rotors/fluid), an OIL COOLER, and a body kit... maybe a carbon hood a la the Megane R.26R. An exhaust. Painted wheels for some differentiation. And a couple of Nismo badges. If there's time.

Anyone else think about how they'd do up a Nismo Z?
