In sum, if you plan to mod your car the Nismo may not make economic sense for you. The performance gains of the Nismo are primarily due to the larger 60mm CBE and stiffer suspension along with a body kit which can be easily matched on the Sport edition with a modest investment of a new CBE and springs. With that said, the Nismo is a beautiful car and no one who buys ever regrets it, so if the Nismo speaks to you, get it.
