Thanks for the love...really enjoy you guys, always put a smile on my face. Thank you for that!:tiphat::tiphat::tiphat:

That wasnt an insult man, that was respect, I only hope I can be so successful to say that I've owned a Ferrari, or a 100k+ car! As for now, I am but a lowly foot soldier, but my best years are yet to come!

Damn right Brother! Stay passionate and goods things happen! No one gave me a penny and remember, if you get in a pinch, look me up and I'll see if I can find a spot. I always have things going on and love hiring great people.

If this Shop comes through this weekend I'll really get into cars again. I just don't have time and these two guys are AWESOME and down on their luck. They are going to have one of the premier shops in the OC and I'm thrilled to help them get on their feet.

(nothing to worry about sponsors, nothing to compete against my friends on the board, more classics and Hot Rods including my old Roadster)

PS. Thundercats rule! I used to love that show...HAHAHA

I kinda like the new Nismo 370Z.

I also like the Nismo V2 bumper on the 350 (since I have one). :)

I guess I'll have to continue looking at pics of the Z34 and see what the big deal is.

Why is that some reliable sites have listed the Nismo tires' width to be smaller than the base one?

They coudn't put a gt-r motor in it. Those are hand made and theres a waiting list for GT-R's here... >_<

They aren't really that reliable? :confused:

Here is another example. Not the one with the Nismo being smaller though.

2010 Nissan 370Z Coupe | Specs | Nissan USA

Track Width (inches)
18" Aluminum-alloy wheels (front/rear) 61.0/62.8
19" RAYS® forged alloy wheels (front/rear) 60.6/61.6
19" NISMO/RAYS® forged alloy wheels (front/rear) 61.2/62.2

Why would the base model have a bigger width than ones on the sports package?

I have the 2010 factory Z brochure, and the "Track Width" matches your numbers. If you look at a car with 18" wheels closely, you will see it actually fills out the wheel wells (width not height) better than the sport rays. The offset of the 18" wheels is wider for some reason.

Alright I read this whopping thread so I get to contribute my useless opinion :tiphat:

For the record, I like the regular 370Z body style and wheels over the Nismo so spending less was a no-brainer (s'why I bought one), but if you're into that and/or the parts then hey, it's already assembled, better warrantied, and a bit harder to find than a regular Z so go for it. Personally the Nismo spoiler is the only part I'd consider.

Are the upgrades worth the money? Probably not but depends on if they're exactly what you want. I think that the fact we are starting with THE BEST cheapish sports car on the PLANET and talking about value is tainting the discussion. Improving on perfection is a tricky business.

No matter what compromise Nissan came up with for the package lots of us would still not think it was worth it (unless we can get that GTR engine!).

My bottom line: As long as it has a Z on it, it's okay in my book :icon17:
