Considering a Nismo!!

nhbpcivicsi · 11-12-2013, 08:51 AM

Too late I already paid the $500

turns out it will count towards the original price if I end up buying it, but I sure will be camping by thr dealership waiting for it to arrive

Good luck man! And keep us posted!

the nismo finally came in today! gotta say exterior and performance wise the nismo definitely wins, but I was kinda disappointed at how poorly constructed the interior is for the nismo compared to the sports touring :/ . Guess i'll still be going for the nismo for the sexy looks, also there was a couple red flags with the car, first the front skirt/spoiler was unclipped from the corner, and paint fading in another area.. will be posting pictures soon hopefully!

I went for The Nismo for the exterior looks. If I wanted a nice interior, I'd just get a new Hyundai for half the price.

As for the exterior, just tell the dealership if they fix those problems, you will take it. The skirt issue sounds like it's just missing a clip. Faded paint on a 12? Are you sure it wasn't just dirty?

I showed great signs of frustrations when I saw these problems with the car, which made the dealer announce right away that they will be fixing everything for no charge

plus a detailing/wash/wax job lol

but wouldn't it be nice to have both exterior sexiness and interior luxury

as for the paint, its probably not faded.. for some reason my phone won't allow me to post pictures, but I will do so as soon as I get off work

Agree. This is why i didn't get the Nismo. I couldn't stand the interior and to an extent, the rear spoiler. The non-US Nismos could be had with nav, if only they offered it in the US.

Either way good luck with the purchase!

Yeah its a tough decision. I still want the Nismo more though because although the sports touring looks good, the looks of the Nismo is just pure sexiness! I cant think of a better looking car within that price range honestly.. the spoiler isn't that big of an issue to me, I was a little bothered by how loud the Nismo exhaust is when ur over 4K rpm

I wanted a Nismo briefly. If I was a young man I'd have gotten it. As I am not, I chose the creature comforts of the Touring and had to have the sports package as well. This package has worked well for me.

Good luck.

Just ignore him.

Oh wait... Maybe he is right?!

Basically, the washer mod is people adding extra washers to the exhaust pipes to create a exhaust leak making the exhaust sound louder and better. Elanshimoto washer mod is just a fancy name for the washer mod.

Hopefully my premium washers hit stores this Christmas! Get ready everyone!

Gains should be 15whp per washer!

It could have the actual Nismo CBE on it. Are the pipes/muffler stainless steel/shiny?

Oh that definitely wasn't the case, didn't see any leaks whatsoever

to be honest, I don't even remember what it looked like lol, if you show me a picture of the actual exhaust on another nismo i'll probably be able to tell you if it was the same one or not
