Nismo in Monterey?

tjlazer · 02-02-2012, 09:31 PM

Thats my car in the video. I, also, was HELL bent on a BLUE Nismo Z, but they do not offer one in that color! So I determined I would get a Base Z in blue and mod it like a Nismo and better. I already knew it would cost $10,000+ to repaint a Nismo Z, and I thought that was SILLY on a brand new car.

If you want one in Blue, you are much better off going the route I went, and you can mod it as you see fit too. The only thing I am missing is the rear wing, and I was thinking of getting the Seibon rear replica, as the Nissan one is $2,500 unpainted/uninstalled. ($600 for the replica)

Remember the Nismo gets is +18 HP from an exhaust and tune. You can do better than that with aftermarket stuff.

So the responses verify what I already believed but I figured it was worth asking incase there was a way. Guess it's back to my original route of ordering a base/sports with an s-tune.

And Tjlazer I absolutely love your car.

Don't believe anything a dealer tells you. BTW I love Tjlazers Z. That Nismo kit looks really good. I would really like to get the Nismo kit on my Z.

Not all dealers lie, but most do!(present company excluded)!
