Attention 2015 and 2016 Nismo Owners

Davey

I hear you. I think the only thing I really disagree with is the level of difference between the two. I really feel only a little difference in stiffness. A big gap between either NISMO version and the Sport 370Z, but not much difference between the NISMOs.

I would really like to see the spring rate numbers but I can't find any - Nissan is still quoting the same percentage stiffness increase front to rear that they were for the '14 and all we get as far as details from the magazines is "re-tuned suspension."

Personally I'd rather have the best suspension I can live with daily and I think Nissan did a great job with it, for my purposes. Like it's dialed back just enough I can stand it for 3+ hours.

I think what people expected from the NISMO varies. I expected something like a "Sport+" 370Z. I expected it to be harsh and stripped down, and it was. And, I liked it...

Except after a while I missed having the better stereo and seats, because the interior just doesn't say "This is a 40K+ car." It was great on my 50 mile round-trip to work or go go driving for an hour or so, but once I drove it back and forth to my friend's house 2 or 3 times on those rough northern Indiana highways and wondered if I still had my fillings or if I would ever be able to sit fully upright again, I began to wish for something a little more liveable.
