I'm guessing the nismo pads are standard, not up to track use.
If the OP LOVES OEM upgraded stereos and slightly dark wheels vs silver, then the 13 nismo is right, if not, then save $$$ and get the 12.

My bad... for some reason I thought I. Read brake cooling hoses. But its rigid brake hoses and high performance brake fluid. I found that here.

But I did read another article where they said they are redesigning the NISMO pads for better track use in 2013. in that article though they didn't specify if it was for the car, s tune or r tune... I guess I just assumed it would go on the nismo. Again my bad... either way though. Even the line upgrade is a huge safety measure and is far from insignificant. Since there are no styling changes... I would wait and see how much they will really do. Nissan never says everything.
Like the oil cooler. We found out 2 weeks before the car was released. When the future spec sheet hit the nissan website 2 months earlier. It stated NO changes. It turned out we got the oil cooler. And I do know of a lot of tweaks on the Z most don't know about.
Having had an 09 and now an 11. I can tell you there's a big difference in ride quality and engine harshness. So I would wait.
