What mods have you done or plan for your Nismo 15+

NefariousZ34

I've been running into a few barriers with finding mods listed for the 15+ so wondering what others have done or found.

So far I've been able to "easily" get my takeda CAI on and berks HFC. Working with a local tuner towards an up rev tune. Plan on getting the Garage line X pipe and midpipe since they seem to come as a pair and waiting to see how the m370 works for others before I tackle that. I already test bunnied the takeda not doing it for the m370.

Suspension - looking into wheel spacers to get a little more stability and maybe the swifts

Exterior - Trying to decide what color to make the handles on the MB Maybe white I just dont like the silver. I'm going to find a way to get the 14 down Nismo spoiler on. Change the LED on the Z emblem to White. And get my DRLS to stay on.

Interior - Have Llumar CTX all the way around, Other than that maybe a shift knob the car is pretty good as is.. Aftermarket head unit and speakers down the road maybe. For now AUX is fine since I rarely listen to anything but the exhaust and engine

I'll throw up some pics of the install when I get my bumper back off to relocate my outside air temp sensor.

So what have you done!?

So far, just the GTR start button .

I an drooling over the Amuse STTI Titan Gold Ring exhaust... and always a fan of K&N intakes, though don't think the Typhoons are CARB... might not be an issue if/when I get fed up enough to leave Ca. The Stillen is popular but not sure I want to have to take my bumper cover off to get at them.

Don't perceive any issues with suspension to want to tinker with it. Maybe it will as I get more used to the car.

Originally was thinking I wanted a 2013 white wing and/or Evo-R but now thinking I'll leave it well enough alone. Perfectly happen with the NISMO rims, as well but those are so easy to change I might yield to the desire to get some Volk ZE-40's... could enable some interesting tire experimentation, as well since I am curious if there would be any performance improvement with 18's (less rotational mass), as well as tire selection at the cost of some handling perhaps. The rear fog also tickles the ricer in me and I may pop one in there. Probably JDM though the EVO-R looks pretty good, too.

After aftermarket sound in my last couple cars, I was most interested in the integration of the Tech model, which is why I wanted the NISMO Tech... which all works perfect for what it is (last generation). I might ponder a Mirror Link / Car Play capable head unit at some point but that appears a bit dicier with OEM Bose setups so maybe not. We'll see.

Really I would think the K&Ns would be emission compliant being that it's just short ram. Though I stayed away from short ram due the heat soaked engine bays we love. Could always do Silicon Post MAF Hoses and Drop ins like a lot on here are doing that shouldn't effect anything except a little increase in air flow plus dress up the engine at the same time while retaining stock air boxes. Just a thought for ya.

Unfortunately passing the sniff test isn't as important to the smog nazis as the pound of flesh they demand from the aftermarket guys in $$$ for testing and justifying their own existence.

NefariousZ34

Ya I hear that one of the reasons I don't think I could live in Cali even though I was born there. But the Silicone hose and drop ins are just eliminating the accordion type hoses and adding higher flow air filters surely that wouldn't throw up a red flag there?

Uxi

Technically anything in front of the cat converter(s) can flag you (so cat back exhaust are fine, for example) but hoses, drop in filters, etc and dress up stuff probably cool.

15NISMO

Here is what I have done so far...

K&N Typhoon CAI
Spacers - 20mm Front and 25mm Rear
Door Handles and all emblems dipped - matte black
Window tint
3M Clear Scotchguard all front and up 18" of hood and quarters
Weathertech mats

Things I want to do...

GTR button
Hood struts
Interior LEDs
NISMO shift knob
Tune

I may look at an exhaust but really not sure yet.

Have pics of your handles? They really should be metal if they're going to be that silver color. CF covers doesn't seem right though...

Interior LEDs sounds cool, too at least to replace the map lights along with the clear GTR covers.

What are the DRL and Headlight mods?

NefariousZ34

Daytime running lights. Keeps the leds running all the time. Not sure what headlight mod he's referring to maybe halos which I am interested in.

Zipper how difficult was the drl mod? I saw a base or touring model description but I'm definetly not good with wires.

My pics of Berks and Takeda (I painted of course they are supposed to be polished) Oh I almost forgot I have weather techs aswell I just don't really use them much the Nismo mats are soo nice

Zipper1

Sry, that sounded confusing. lol I meant the DRL with headlights on mod..like you said keeps the DRL's running all the time. Theres a DIY somewhere in here. I followed it exactly and i have to say it was pretty simple.Took me about 30min with all the tools and parts needed on hand. Looks real sharp at night with the DRL's on. Should of been like that from factory.
