*thread highjacked* if you were to upgrade from a 350z to a 370z with TT build in mind, does it make sense to go for the Nismo edition (hoping the few extra HP will make a difference once the TT is installed) or not worth the extra money?

thanks guys!

I'd rather get the nicer interior...part of the Nismo's extra power IIRC is the CBE, which would be changed to do a TT anyway.

The main thing the Nismo probably has going for it as far as raw power is that it most likely has a different VVEL tune, which as of right now, no aftermarket product can tune (that will probably change within the year -- I know GTM and possibly others are working on this)

So, really, you've got some suspension mods, all of which can be obtained aftermarket and a (very cool!) body kit and extra nice wheels.

If you want the body kit, then go for it. Otherwise, either a base or sport package Z will probably be the best starting point for an all out radical build (Base over sport if planning on an aftermarket LSD).

All the nismo gives you AFTER a F.I. install of any kind is cosmetics, suspension, and wheels.

The HP it has before with the F.I. setup will not matter...for instance:

-Base model/F.I. (same as nismo) exhaust/tune...same car....nismo just looks better and costs more. Im confident that if you got the nismo you would change out the $1,400ish exhaust, that is part of your car payment, for another one once you get boosted. know what i mean?

If you have the money then by all means do it, i know i would...but i dont have it like that so i just went with the base knowing that i would change out alot of parts.
