I will try to upload some soon when I get the chance

How did you end up with two 2013 Zs to begin with?

Zerocool · 11-05-2014, 03:32 PM

I'll trade ya my base 09 solid red for the nismo

If you are going to beat down miles keep the base. If you dont keep the Nismo. Not many Nismos out there and listen to Riptides post.

Notk · 11-05-2014, 04:34 PM

I really am leaning toward the Nismo I just don't know how I driving manual in college town will be

Riptide67 · 11-05-2014, 04:45 PM

Where I went to college, I would have hated having a manual lol.

Notk · 11-05-2014, 10:00 PM

Yea, as i'm looking at the opinions Im leaning towards the Nismo. I should become confident with manual soon right?

When I first started driving my 370Z, it was my first manual too. Its only been two months.
The first two weeks I was so worried that I would never get it right. But you will.

Go for the Nismo as they look awesome. You will regret it if you don't.

ZeroZeta · 11-05-2014, 07:51 PM

I would keep the base. Sell the Nismo only since you will get more money from it. If you recoupe some of your money back, save that for a rainy day. I am also assuming going back to school means working less. So having a little additional savings could be good. I am saying this for consideration. Either way you get to keep a nice car.

Your lucky to even have a NISMO. Many people want but can't have the car and have to settle for the base or sport. Keep the NISMO keep the luck?

I don't think there is anyone that will truthfully not choose to take a NISMO over a base or touring for that matter if they were given to them. I'm not saying that they would keep them for long but if someone out right gave you or anyone else the choice to pick one or the other, most will get the one with the big wing.

Neither. I recommend you shop around for a sport package you like, then pick up a "take off" Nismo exhaust from someone else.

Finish it off with a tune and any other suspension mods that you'd probably wind up doing anyway no matter what Z you buy, and you're set.

One of them a Nismo, which only comes in manual, yet he's not good with a manual.
