You're assuming Nissan gives a **** about brake cooling on the Z. They don't, FWIW. So I'll eat my hat if those are anything more than cosmetic, just like everything else with the NISMO Z's.

Also, it's the fronts that get completely wasted, not the back, so it's a waste of time really.

:icon18:

I took a closer look at the "holes" on each sides of the front bumper and they aren't open. There's a black plastic in it.

Just looked at another picture and on this one, it seems open. Once I get back home after work, I'll post the zoomed pictures of both so you can see for yourselves.

You're probably right to be honest.

I took a closer look at both pictures now that I'm back from work and holes are definitely closed. Conclusion: they don't give a **** as MightyBobo said :shakes head:

i want the fenders lips hahaha!!!

God damn shame if you ask me. This car could have been a great track performer with less work required, with just a little more attention to detail.

Are these display cars for Nissan or have they been purchased already?

Dealership cars, I don't think anyone has bought one yet.

I'm liking it in black. As usual, it needs Swifts + spacers. The new headlights are :yum: Should've been that way back in 2009

:shakes head:

this is how a nismo should've looked...

looks amazing in black. would give anything to have it as a daily driver next to the NISMO GTR. I would literally drive it everyday

Where's the rocket booster thing in the rear? It should replace the European foglight. Batmaaaaaaaaaaaan, batmaaaaaaaaaaan, batmaaaaaan

Nismo batmobil :icon08:

pretty good crossbrand tie in I think. I dont mind the shared identity among the GTR and Z (even the Juke RS in black isnt bad)

Then they'd have to bring back the gigantic wing to keep things planted. Maybe made it three stories instead of two!

homedepot mod! :ugh:

they should bring it back

I didnt mind this more lip spoiler look when seeing it in person but I do miss the Wing look for the NISMO Z has I loved the one on my 350z NISMO
the front of the car has a more subtle less extended look so I get where they can be more reserved in the back but I think a wing is a big part of the NISMO DNA this car is missing



maybe they can borrow from the N attack Package on the NISMO GTR

Or if that isnt enough NISMO GT3

:rofl2:

Thats a damn wing my friends

ditto. i think ill get mine done to mimic it once better pics come out. anyone know if its a matte black? charcoal? black chrome?

+1,000,000,000,000 :drool:

In a few weeks check the other vehicles forum for all the pics and video you will ever want to see. currently its on a boat somwhere

These belong to Nissan. Each review you see online will have TN plates until it is released to the public. Also, these are the same plates that came on all the Nismo vehicles at ZDayZ. Nissan must have some cool facility in TN where they store all the cool cars lol.

Fairly decent numbers:
DIMENSIONS:
Wheelbase: 100.4 in
Length: 170.5 in
Width: 72.6 in Height: 51.8 in
Curb weight (C/D est): 3400 lb

PERFORMANCE (C/D EST):
Zero to 60 mph: 4.6 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 11.3 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 13.1 sec
Top speed: 155 mph

No quicker than the 2009 test of the regular 370 though. The looks of this car with 400+HP and 350lbs TQ would simply kick ***.

Damn i can wait to see it in person my friend... looks like a fcking dream :drool:

Your mission gentlemen, should you decide to accept it, is to locate and permanently relieve Nissan of these demonstration cars for your own personal use. As always, should you or any of your forum be caught or killed, this poster will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This post will self-destruct in 370 likes. Good luck.


***EDIT***
Ya know... I had two questions.

Does anyone know if the new NISMO ground clearance is still the same (i.e. same number of inches off the ground)? Also, does it still have a "front diffuser splash shield" to help protect it from scrapes?

Still amuses me that the NISMO is heavier than the ordinary version. You'd think Nissan would have somehow found (non-price increasing) ways to shave some pounds after all these years.

After reading the Car & Driver article and examining the pictures this is the first Nismo I would consider over the 370 with a spots pkg. The 2016 could have some different architecture as well as the Q50 platform.

They really didn't say anything in the article other than they felt the 7AT is dated and that the manual option would be better in the Nismo.

I don't see what in particular is in the C&D article that sells the NISMO over a Base/Sport, personally. Other than the aesthetic changes.

That's the selling point for me. I like the more subtle changes on the 2015 and it's got the touring + nav interior now. If this was out when I bought my 2010, I would paid the difference between my loaded Z. My issue with the prior Nismo was that it commanded the price of a touring/Sport/tech package Z with the base interior, minimal options and (to me) boy racer styling.

I'm innately pissed that I bought my 2013 in March. I would buy a 2015 Nismo in white all day and I'm trying so much to talk my old lady into letting me put a chunk of money down and trading as soon as they hit the lots.

This is, hands down, the best OEM version of the 370 to ever come out - interior and exterior.

Someone get me a VPP so I can march down to a dealer in Nashville and get one of these before I roll over 10k on my odometer. I'm gonna DD it too.

Also - someone photoshop an Amuse wing on this thing in white. I am a photochop-tard.

Lastly, the black Nismo GT-R wins the internet for the immediate future. Black Nismo GT-R all day, White Nismo 370Z all day, invisible Juke Nismo all day.

B15, ZBro, I have a 13Z, purchased in Aug of 2012. If I we're in the market to purchase a Z today. I'd get the new Nismo vs my base + sport. Good luck to the both of you :tup:

$41,990 / $45,490 Base / Tech Nismo?
