2015 Nismo - Aero and Suspension Concerns

bodhi · 06-05-2015, 08:24 PM

I really like the new design of the 2015 Nismos, but I am hearing some complaints about the suspension at high speeds.

Could it be a combination of new suspension changes and aero / downforce that would be causing the looseness at high speeds?

This Nismo 2015 review suggests this...

I've driven a number of pre-2015s and love the feel of the car and never felt loose at high speeds, but I have yet to drive a 2015.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It was just him it appears to me.

I say decide if you like the 09-14 NISMO look or the 15+ NISMO look and buy based on your preference. I doubt you're going to be driving the car at 150+ mph so who cares?

To be honest, it probably had the shipping spacers still in the front coil springs allowing air to get underneath the front end. He just doesn't know anything about Z's.

I'm sorry but his input is so vague...I would place no value on that crap. If you googled GTR, Z06 and Viper he probably has the same responses for those too. Drive it for yourself and decide.

Will let you know next week when I get mine back from the 2015 conversion. I had a sport, at 125 she started to get noticeable loose, 140ish steering is numb, 160 it takes almost 30' wide of asphalt and sit in the middle and just wanders back and forth. Rear felt really stable.

Guy drives like a ***** and shifts like a grandma. User error. He probably DDs a minivan.

I don't know, but he needs to lay off the estrogen therapy.

Look at his t shirt. Lol. That is probably what he drives. And he likes the feel of the clutch? Nobody likes the 370z clutch feel. Lol

I think I read something g some where that the 15 has more down force then the earlier NISMO

JARblue · 06-06-2015, 09:46 PM

My 2011 bone stock (had intakes) felt absolutely planted at 140 mph at COTA

blueborat · 06-06-2015, 09:48 PM

He's scared because Honda cannot do 140mph lol. Also lol on the heavy steering.
