Yeah, seems like a great product. And I really like the fact that they are trying to support their design by getting proof of it's performance. Then posting it to the forum. Many of the big companies do their own numbers and that's the last you hear from them on it. But honestly I would wait till they have a few more people driving with them. Those maf sensors have been proven to be be very temperamental. I know it's a whole other ball game, but intrigue had issues with his single turbo setup and the maf sensors because of the piping design (even with tuning).

Absolutely to both Zbeast and DJTodd!

Already ordered my first mod- Tommy Kaira shift knob
Day 1 the entire car minus the rear bumper is getting clear bra wrapped.
Then Sparco Evo seats in Red and then the list goes on and on!
I literally have a list in order of mods to do..

Have you confirmed if it is going to look just like the 09-12s?

Should have red calipers and (option?) gunmetal wheels. Other than that I don't think anything else has changed cosmetically.

Hey Chad,
Who are you getting to do the clear-bra install? I've been looking around for a good shop in the area.

Yeah there is a thread on here that showed a pic of a 2013 NISMO.
Same body but red calipers, gunmetal wheels (same wheels), GTR brake lines and race brake fluid and i believe thats it..

You can now get an optional BOSE system with 2 subwoofers but thank God its just an option i opted to get one without so i dont add any unnecessary weight with the subs...

Thanks! I will be sure to meet up at some point... Im not going to overwhelm myself with mods for every weekend projects but it will be all completed probably 6 months or so after i get the car.

I decided to do the TK shift knob and Sparco seats first

Anyone know how to make the resistor for the airbag light for when i yank the seats?

Also is anyone interested in the NISMO seats before i post on the forum? I would hook up a fellow SC Z person over having to ship them... Hell i will even install them if you want

I'd love those wheels but probably couldn't afford them
