While I don't like the new 370z nismo much, the new GTR nismo is a different story. I totally in love!

I like everything they did to this model except the wheels.

The red on the NISMO Z front lip is actually painted( sides mirrors and rear are decals like whats on the NISMO GTR and juke.

alot of GTR guys are using pinstripe to replicate the look ( cant totally get down with that mehtod) If you wanted the look it will cost you about $5

I was in the camp of not being happy that the red was a decal but after seeing it in person atleast on the GTR there is an indention the red goes down in so its not just stuck on. another thing to keep in mind and this never occurred to me until nissan marketing brought it up...but if you have damage to that area a decal is much easier to replace than having to repaint and match parts of a stripe.

I was curious of the quality so I picked at it lightly with my fingernail and it seems to be stuck on there extremely well

MC,

Is the gearing in the 6mt changed as well? I thought I read it was now 3.91's. If so, did the srm get tweaked?

What do you mean tweaked...why wouldn't Nissan have it working as it should. This isn't some aftermarket retrofit.

Ok so that is a new change. I suppose you don't know if any changes were made to keep srm happy with higher final drive ratio?

na didnt get that technical. I was quite distracted with the NISMO GTR being there..so you guys are lucky you got any Z coverage out of me lol

So if the 2015 uses fd of 3.9, i wonder does tjat mean we can upgrade our 3.357 fd auto to 3.9 without needing the diff from a manual transmission. Thats a worth it mod if the z35 first year isnt appealing

I'm just going to get a PW roadster and buy the new nismo kit to add to it plus the wheels. Any objections?

this probably has been discussed pages back that I missed since its so obvious but this NISMO kit is almost identical to the NISMO Sentra concept. I was going back looking at some stuff on my PC and after seeing the Z in person it clicked that its literally the exact same just applied to the Z

MC · 05-17-2014, 09:22 PM

are rotary phones for calling enthusiasts then?

just saying there shouldnt be a stigma for auto as its down to personal preference and has no relevance on someone enthusiasm for a car. Nissan purposely added the Auto option for the very reason to try to get more people into the NISMO brand of cars and with this push of all things NISMO they wanted it to be more accessible simple as that its an option they arnt forcing it on anyone.. they just didnt want someone to be in the market and the lack of that option ultimately be a reason why they didnt end up buying the car

all that being said Im on the fence if I would go auto or back to manual if I got one of these. Every Z Ive ever had was manual but the 7AT is pretty good. only bone to pick I have with the Auto is from a design standpoint as the shifter knob and poll looks too large
