ok how much is it after being installed and painted?
at the minimum its going to run you 7k and thats probably if you install it yourself...

the nismo Z is about 10k more(give or take) then the base(assuming you pay msrp) and you get the functional body kit(150lbs of downforce @ 75mph), the rims(which cost 1k/rim brand new no tires), nismo exhaust(~1k but the one on the nismo has an H pipe not a y pipe), better suspension(which for basic coilovers that will run you about 1k give or take), sway bars(~500), front and rear dampers, and the nismo strut tower brace(its a bit different then the base/touring)

if you're talking about straight line racing and living your life 13.1 secs at a time then yes they are the same but the nismo shines on road courses, it just a bit better then the base/touring W/sport, very neutral with handling in my opinion

to be honest if you are the occasional track day guy, then buy the nismo, its practically a turn key race car off the lot(just needs an oil cooler) plus all the money someone would have spend on wheels, a body kit, suspension, ect. can all go into modding the engine and brakes
