Is Nismo Really Worth It?

vipor · 10-07-2009, 07:39 PM

If I could go back and do it all over again I would be able to justify the Nismo for the Body Kit and Wheels alone. The suspension is too stiff for some (not me,) and the custom stitching is just a nice touch.

I say if u want it and can afford it, sure its worth it!

Also,

Nismo 350z > Nismo 370z

That is how it should have been done (at least performance wise).

No, gains not worth the money.

Plus, aftermarket suspension isn't tuned to work with all the other parts like Autech does with the NISMO. That is why my NISMO still kicks 350z's with coilovers and race suspension setups at the road courses.

I learned a long time ago from experience that I'm never going to add a bodykit or exterior parts to my car as I will never be happy with the fit and finish. I went with the nismo because the body kit is oem fit and aftermarket aggressive. So that's just a check off my mod list, no body kit needed. The rims are the same. So now just engine, stereo, interior. Tada.
