Future resale and value of a collector is there on a Nismo, where on any other base + mod's don't plan on ever seeing any of that money again. You have to revert it to stock to recoup best return.
Aftermarket always gets better, therefore any part you add is worth less in around 5+ years expect cents on the dollar.
Where as a stock Nismo will be worth the most.
I get so frustrated seeing where folks call "spending money" on their rides as an investment.
Oh, I spent 36k on my Nismo! So, that math you used earlier to calculate what you could build using inferior parts get's even worse off over time.

The resale of the nismo is the best either. See what a used 09 nismo gets. The reduction in price is almost as bad as a base depreciating. Used nismo over used Base...depreciates more. The factor of nismo parts being on the car does no good. U still see deprecation just like any other car in the world... EXCEPT AN ENZO cause that was an exception lol 600k now worth 2.5 million.... damn....
also what inferior parts? Stillen? HRE? yea right... i see nismo owners selling their wheels for 3 piece forged wheels. THATS CRAZY TALK IF YOU THINK NISMO WHEELS ARE BETTER THAN 3 PIECE FORGED WHEELS....NO WAY.... anyways... if your in the market for investment than the NISMO is a FAIL.... It loses your investment just like any other car and its not even like NISSAN used the best parts possible. They are SEMI OKAY....
