I learned my lesson from my first 350Z. I wanted a bodykit, rims, suspension, brakes......well you name it and I wanted to modify it. I will tell you one thing...there is nothing like getting factory built quality. I even had the APS turbo kit on it.
I love how the Nismo looks and it comes from the factory. Additionally it is a pretty rare vehicle on the road. If you play your cards right you can get a Nismo for 36k+ tax and a base + sport for 30k. IMO, 6K isn't that bad for a bodykit that matches, sportier suspension setup and much nicer offset/lighter rims. No matter which Z I got...the exhaust would be the first thing to go so I didnt even include it in the price.... If you have plans to change the bodykit and rims than I would say don't bother with the Nismo. In my experience a really good bodykit and paint will run you upwards of 3k easily and high quality rims will easily top 3k as well. Those two alone are 6k. It's easy to say the Nismo is a waste of money, but factory quality, whether its paint or fitment, is nothing to joke around about. GL |

Completely understand where you're coming from with factory installed components. At the moment I don't see myself getting a body kit. I like the sleek stock look but some TE37's might be in the future. Having a rare car would be very nice as well and I do prefer the look of the Nismo over the sport but it's a matter of cost efficiency to me. That's why it's so hard for me to decide. Right now I have the dealers fighting it out.

Well said my man. A lot of people say the nismo is a waste of money compared to a base + sport and I completely disagree. I have driven both versions of the z and they do not look the same and do not ride the same. |

I must admit that as much as I love the nismo, it is not worth paying $680 a month. So if that is your only option, I would take the less expensive alternative. Good luck and I'm sure you will be satisfied with whatever you choose!
EDIT: Sorry just read that you would have to pay $680 a month for a nismo! Thats crazy Last edited by Ty Weezy; 10-12-2010 at 03:17 PM. Reason: Sorry just read that you would have to pay $680 a month for a nismo! Thats crazy |
