Suspension upgrades are about the only thing remotely worth it to me, and thats a stretch. I'd just upgrade it anyway.

HP upgrade? We'll see when it hits the dyno, but replacing the stock cat back will yield the same if not better results (seeing as thats the only part they "upgraded" for the Nismo version). And either way, I bet most will swap it out for something better.

Rarity? Yawn. So in the end thats what people are paying for here - to say they have a Nismo Z, and if they plan on keeping it stock. Which will be blown away by base 370's with minimal mods heh.

So for me (someone who actually wants to go fast on a track, and have the satisfaction of modding his own car) and many of the others on here who feel the same, the Nismo is an unattractive waste of money.
