First pic, not liking the red.

lul, side by side with a '13 model it looks like a slightly modded 13, nothing about this car stands out anymore from the pack. Just blends in. BORING.

not a huge fan of the changes, I like the seats only. but I dropped the car a little (no PS at work, lol)

the wheels have to go. but the red to black is :tup:

I hope Nissan is on this thread looking at all the posts bashing their "new" POS...

Nissan, if you are here, you now KNOW what were looking for, you now know that minor BS updates aren't going to appease us. You're losing Z customers hand over fist to 5.0's and oddly enough Corvettes. Learn, not for my sake, I'm a Toyota guy and I learned my lesson to never buy a Nissan again. But learn for the other guys that are from Nissan families that are just over it.

I like it but still won't buy it :icon17:

I personally like the paint scheme, it's different than any thing else out there. I would buy it
I also agree with everyone else and I expected more from nissan, I was hoping for the next gen Z!# Seriously Nissan, please read these forums you guys can get a lot of free opinions and input without paying for those stupid surveys!! The actual owners will tell you everything you need to know! If you listen and read you can make so much more damn money as the public and owners are more educated about what's out there. I have to admit I WILL NOT pay over 40k for this car, as it's just cosmetic upgrades. Im still looking at the stingray vette or audi s5 or even mustang. For the price you can get more hp and style!! Smh I will wait a little longer till I see it in person to decide.

maro 05-16-2014 06:44 PM

Man these pictures makes me think I want to buy kit more and more
Any more real life pics for rear ??
If somebody make decent front lip its a winner! I have evor high wing so it will definetely look good with rear bumper for sure

They should post rear view too then

Niche79 05-16-2014 06:58 PM

See, the back end needs the wing to make it just look aggressive. Make it stand out from the pack! The 15 just blends in. :shakes head:


http://www.zercustoms.com/news/image...0Z-Nismo-2.jpg

Front needs more aggressive looks too. Just want it to stand out IMO. Not just have LEDs in the front, the 13's and 14s already do that.

I'll take this with the 3 cylinder turbo 400 hp without any weight reduction all day.

lol 3 cylinder turbo, at that rate by the time your turbo kicks in the girl ur dating would have ovulated, twice.

TheBoomSpoon 05-16-2014 07:11 PM

Why does everyone have a boner for a big wing? Strap a big purple dildo on the hatch, same effect.

I dig the new wing better than the current sport wing and it will cover all the holes being a big overlay. Also the blacked out interior is a step in the right direction and the only one. The seats damn near touch the roof and the cover quality is horrible where it wraps over the top compared to a normal Recaro Sportster CS. I wanted the front bumper from the teaser pic, but that was before they showed the whole thing. Maybe in one color it would look decent

Jordo! 05-16-2014 07:18 PM

Although I am less enamored with the new look from straight on in the front (mid lip thing sticks out further than the lower lip?), all in all I like all the cosmetic changes (variant wing, new wheels, kit, tinted lenses, seats).

But... the only real performance upgrade (alleged aero improvements notwithstanding -- lets see it in a wind tunnel...) is the final gear ratio.

Otherwise there is NOTHING new about this car.

My only fear is that this IS the Z35 with a snazzier body kit and nicer seats... again, see further the "new" Q60, which is really only a slight update of the G37.. :icon14:

There are parts of the update that I really like but I dont like the full package. For example, they almost got the front correct but swished the lip up and in so it looks too much like the fish fangs that we don't care for. They were on the right track but needed the lower lip/splitter to follow through. They had a good aggressive start but couldn't quite tie it together. Its almost great but not quite right. The fenders have a good look. I even like the wheels in the real life pics. They appear to stick out farther. The back is almost good but they stuck a sport spoiler on it. It's like every part of the car looks like they started with something great and screwed up the finished piece.

2004YZFR1 05-16-2014 07:25 PM

I think that the new style looks good, but we really need some more power. Six years of the same motor and HP when almost all of the other cars in the class are at 420 + horse. And all we get are different front and rear bumper covers and retuned shocks?

Classy.

I think the problem comes from the fact that the Nismo has always been easily distinguishable from the standard coupe, even more so with the Z33 version.

This new model really should have been the 2013 upgrade for the standard model.

Any change for the Nismo should have improved the aerodynamics of the current model (if practical) and added RC brake ducts and grille along with some HP/Torque, and most definitely brake improvements.

New rims are okay, but probably could have gone to 20" rims.

Adding nav and the Recaros are the only positives I see here.

It sure seems like a lot of money and effort expended on a model that supposedly is going to be changed in (now) 2016. It makes one wonder if there isn't going to be a new Z anytime soon if at all.

ajperretta 05-16-2014 07:28 PM

Yeah, nissan, if you are watching this thread, we want power! Seriously, i sold my current z 2 weeks ago to prepare for an awesome 2015 nismo. Needless to say, I'm not buying this old oddball.
I'm going to wait another year and see what they do. If they can't get it right, I'm buying a c6.

Drex 05-16-2014 07:39 PM

im liking the new look. i could never stand the old nismo or z33 nismo because of the wing. too boy-racer for me.

front looks good. new led drls are better than the 2013 refresh imo. not sold on the rear. rims are ok. interior is nice.

regardless, ill be keeping my 2011.

they should have put a more aggressive wing but I like the aggressive unique look. As far as losing z customers I would never get a pos 5.0 rustang the vette on the other hand is a consideration.

kenchan 05-16-2014 09:13 PM

now imagine putting a cf splitter on the front. then it's probably near complete.

MC 05-16-2014 09:16 PM

ok just got home. I spent the whole day helping Nissan hanging out with my friends from Nissan. I got to help debut the car and then rode in it and went on some photoshoots with it and the other NISMO GTR and JUKE RS that was there.

I got some real time with the car today, so If anyone has any specific questions let me know and I will try to answer them

kornflake7 05-16-2014 09:22 PM

When can I buy the recaros? Will they fit my 2013 nismo and how much

kenchan 05-16-2014 09:22 PM

how was the suspension. is it firm like the 14 nismo? or was it softened up? which tires does it run, the new s001?

The fact that the seats hit the headliner is a no-no for me... I'd want those seats if they could adjust them though

Is the front Nissan emblem embedded in the front bumper like the current Z'z? Or is it just sitting on the bumper like the 370z emblem on the rear?
