Hello from Ontario

Hi everyone, my name is Craig and I'm new to the forum. I use to own a black 1974 260z years ago, the buyer may actually be on this forum as he also owned a 370z.

I still have the Z bug and I'm thinking of buying a 16+ Nismo. I test drove a few touring and base versions but I'm partial to the appearance package of the Nismo.

I hope to find some good info and insight here. Thanks.

Welcome to the 370Z forums. Purchasing a sport or Nismo model Z may save you some money in the future or you could get a base model and mod it to your liking. Check out the forums here Craig there is a wealth of knowledge on this wonderful forum. Shop around you will find the Z you always wanted. www.ebaymotors.com www.autotrader.com www.cars.com

Welcome to the club

Loads of helpful people here, and plenty of info to be found!!

Welcome!

If you plan on modding your Z in the future (exhaust, intakes, maybe turbo at some point), you will save money just buying a base or sport model. If you aren't planning on doing anything to it, go Nismo for sure.

Just my 2 cents lol

Either way though, again, welcome!

Buy the Nismo! Besides the excellent Recaro seats and body package, it comes with a lot more handling goodies than most people realize. Having driven both a sport package and a Nismo, there is no comparison. The Nismo feels like a different car. Best handling and visceral car I’ve driven so far (in stock trim). Plus, you’ll be driving a much rarer car.
But, I may be slightly biased so take my advice for what it’s worth....

Welcome, and good luck on the search for a Nismo. They really are special cars.

Welcome to the forum!

Cannot help you with the NISMO, but I have a decent 2013 Sport Touring 6-speed advertised in the Canada section here. Near Strathroy (London) Ontario.

Otherwise, good luck in your search!

PS: the Recaro's aren't heated - mine are (from one Ontarian to another!) ;-)
