Ok since you don't want to click specZ's links, let me summarize:
-Both cars have identical VQ37VHR engines.
-The nismo has unique bells and whistles including bigger wheels, a stiffer suspension, a really nice looking body kit + wing, and a nicer exhaust.

This isn't like say...a mustang or a corvette where different trims have entirely different engines and are built differently.

All Z34s are identical deep down. You can replicate/exceed the nismo's performance in a base with a few bolt-ons. Those same bolt-ons will provide the same gains in a nismo (assuming you don't replace nismo-specific parts) and the Z34 is fun because it lends itself easily to modding.
