I'd like to see it in the other colors offered first. If the husband digs it in red, we'll most likely be getting it to replace his.

The nismo is the "tastefully" modded version of the base z. If you bought this with the intentions of changing the exterior, it would be smarter to buy a base. Selling a top trim that needs to be modded to have appeal is counter productive.

I'd rather buy a 2014 nismo. They actually looked good. This looks like nissan slacked off on a redesign and thought they could fix it with some louvres and red stripes.

I like Mustangs. It's hard to beat 420+ hp for $30k in a car that looks good and handles OK. I only didn't get one because I see about 248 of them every day.

:facepalm: I am aware. I said if the husband likes it - meaning he's fine with paying whatever, doesn't feel like he needs to mod, etc. It's his decision, not mine. I've got my 09 that I am in love with.

ZKraken22 05-16-2014 02:41 PM

Yeah nissan hates us. Been asking for more power for years but they Keep trying to make cosmetic changes.

1. Nismo already had a body kit, what it didn't have is less weight and 400 NA engine. Because of the GT-R the Z will never have turbos

2. We already have aftermarket body kits.

The 350z and the GT-R both got horsepower bumps during production. Seriously?

That's all fine for ur hubby but I highly doubt the rest of the z crowd will be clamoring to buy a nismo that doesn't look good right out of the factory. Being a limited production car with a unique look is why no one wants to visually modify it. I just don't foresee your scenario being probable.

I'd be totally cool with 400NA. It just needs 400, I don't care how. 400 NA would be sweet.

2011 Nismo#91 05-16-2014 02:49 PM

You're not going to get 400NA without a much larger displacement, which for tax reasons won't work for japan.

ajperretta 05-16-2014 02:49 PM

And it needs an exhaust that actually makes it sound like a sports car. The nismo exhaust is better than the base but it still sounds weak and is super raspy.

People are getting about 375 hp at the crank right now with bolt on mods. There's gotta be something they can do to push 25 more.

I don't know if that qualifies as "special" enough to warrant the coveted "Nismo" badge on looks alone, but I wouldn't be sad to see the Z35 kitted as such.

More pics here...

Love the wheels!!!

Why are the door handles still silver?!?

Jimmyz34 05-16-2014 03:09 PM

Idc Ya'll can hate me but I Somewhat like it. Now it is not worth the price and doesnt warrant a trade-in but it does look good to me. The steering wheel is nice aswell along with seats like everyone else is raving about

Jordo! 05-16-2014 03:09 PM

Hey, could somebody photoshop one in a convincing sold red? :D

Ran outa red paint?

Super Werty 05-16-2014 03:10 PM

I actually like it! The front bumper will be mine...without the red, just black

and Im about 110% positive the seats will be mine soon too!

7speed 05-16-2014 03:10 PM

Maybe it will be a little quicker

"..............with a shorter final drive ratio for better acceleration feel - are also standard on the 2015 370Z NISMO".

bigdog1250 05-16-2014 03:14 PM

Those Recaros look incredible in there! That's the best part of the car. Wish the pics showed them better.

Also, why the Automatic in the pic? Should have been a manual.

Super Werty 05-16-2014 03:19 PM

anyone notice the red ring around the engine start button?

Not while keeping any type of cat. And HFCs stock won't fly in Cali or any heavily regulated state/country.

Limeybastard 05-16-2014 03:25 PM

Also wheels are sticking out further. Anyone else noticed that.

im not a fan of those wheels... :ugh: looks like some cheap enkei's or something.

3.7 ZPA 05-16-2014 03:28 PM

Damn, tough crowd. I actually love it. I think it looks leaps and bounds better than the current Nismo. I'm obviously disappointed that there aren't any performance enhancements, but if I didn't already have my '09, and were looking for a Z...I'd take it.

To show folks you can get the 15 Nismo with an automatic, a little marketing ploy.....:icon14:

Zteve 05-16-2014 03:29 PM

looks ok, like the fact they got rid of that ugly spoiler. not to keen on the wheels though like the current 5 spoke ones rather than those, too bad the seats are leather though they do look nice.

the flippin seats touch the ceiling? wtf nissan?

cinellipro 05-16-2014 03:38 PM

From the pictures, the car looks more sophisticated and upscale. They dressed up the front grill and toned down the back spoiler. It';s more curvy and has lost the kit car look by eliminating that drooping front lip and cladded rear. Recaro "leather" seats definitely moves it up too.
Wonder what the cost will be?

:icon17: the interior looks good, i like that.

Limeybastard 05-16-2014 03:40 PM

Technically speaking no Z should be in auto let alone s nismo. All marketing.

Sounds good, when you get some time shop all the red to black (except the brakes, tails, etc) and door handles all black and maybe another one with color match handles. :tiphat:

evil_tt 05-16-2014 03:44 PM

Meh. I give them a C for effort. I think they did a much better job with the Nismo GT-R Kit. Also not feeling the wing, it just doesn't match in my opinion. Was also really hoping for some type of tuning enhancement, like they do every few years for the GT-R. I understand the GT-R is their pinnacle performance car, but give the 370 so more love! The wait continues..

yah, i prefer all the red to be gloss black on those areas. leave the matte finish areas matte, just the accents to be glossy black. should look better...well at least to me.

zeus37 05-16-2014 03:46 PM

I haven't seen any mention of this yet.:eek:

There are flared fenders. What in the **** was nissan thinking with this?

"Hey guys, let's give the car a more sophisticated look to attract more customers."

"OHHH I KNOW, RED E-TAPE, FLARED FENDERS AND A NEW BODY KIT!"

.....:shakes head::shakes head:

Red accents seems to be all the rage.... Check the jeep out here

So... how about a lift kit for your Nismo?

Love these two shots. Ground clearance looks good, this car would look great dropped a couple more inches.

fuct 05-16-2014 03:53 PM

did yall notice all the silver accents inside are black now?

Those Recaros will be on my '12 sooner or later
