i think its worth taking an extra minute to make your post a bit more coherent

maybe also tell us your plans for the car

i dunno just saying if you want folks to use their time, use a bit of your own up front

I felt the Nismo package was worth it for a few reasons:

I like uncommon cars, and while 370Zs are rare seeing someone with the Nismo setup is basically like seeing Bigfoot... The Nismo body kit also really enhances the look of the 370Z - in my humble opinion.

And I tend to just drive a car, stock, for a year or two after purchase to make sure I know what I want to get out of it and have a solid plan. The Nismo package is about 80% of what the average Joe eventually does to their base-model - so, for me, it's a time and effort savings before getting to the good stuff like forced induction. ;)

for only 2100 more, yeah probably. especially if you don't want to mod it.

JC-Nismo 01-24-2017 04:31 AM

Whats the asking price?

Cyber370 01-24-2017 05:01 AM

Nismo definitely worth it as far as I'm concerned. You will rarely see one and in a few years when the Z car is no more, everyone will want one.

SS_Firehawk 01-24-2017 07:14 AM

The recaro seats, the rear diff, the wheel package, springs, struts, sway bars, black front lights, steering wheel, chassis dampers, front strut bar, exhaust and slightly different interior are all Nismo specific. If you find value in at least three of these items, yes it's worth it

The 2010 Nismo the OP is looking at would not have had the Recaro seats. I believe those were a '15+ thing.

@OP, Big question you have to ask yourself is the body kit worth the extra coin. There are better aftermarket solutions for the suspension and exhaust making the body kit what you're really paying extra for. If you do go non-Nismo, just make sure you get one with the sport package as that will get you the bigger brakes, syncro-rev match, and the VLSD.

too many miles for a nismo

not worth it

Chuckles 01-24-2017 10:36 AM

I would definitely go for the NISMO. Like everyone else said, they are quite a bit more rare which is kinda cool. the resale value will be better than a base and if your lazy like me most of the basic mods are done for you from Nissan and have a factory OEM fitment.

Runningmann 01-24-2017 11:34 AM

Thanks guys for the input gonna see the car this week will post what i think as far as milage goes 60 doesnt seem too high unless it was beat on which i should be able to tell whenni see it and drive it.I dont plan on modding but really like the body and havent heard what it sounds like i had a 04 350z that was my last z experience.

at that rate your car will have the same amount of miles as this 2010 Nismo when it reaches that age.... so you could say that your car has a lot of miles.

CCastro 01-24-2017 11:54 AM

I say get the Nismo. I had a 10 Base Sport when it first came out and had to sell it 5 years ago. I just bought a 10 Nismo, the ride is totally different from a base sport. The driving experience is well worth more than the creature comforts of the touring (if that is what you are looking for). The styling is also worth more in my opinion. You'll be among the few with a Nismo edition car.

SS_Firehawk 01-24-2017 11:56 AM

If it's a 2010, it still keeps the 3.69 diff, the wheels, body kit, numbered, chassis dampers, slightly upgraded front strut bar, uprated springs, dampers, and sways, dual exhaust, and a bunch of Nismo logos with red sticking on the interior.

For $2,000 more than a sport model, it's an easy choice. In 2010, there was no bose audio system or optional back up camera in the mirror.

There is still a lot of value choosing the nismo. I traded my 2011 sport package 370Z for my 2013 Nismo, but it was a combination of the color and it being on the nismo, I was in love

Just talked to original owner he has never had the issue with csv and had clutch checked out while under warranty because he said the dual clutch is louder than normal..He did have the steering column lock issue fixed.
He had a long commute to work and most miles are highway doesnt sound like he beat the car he is 57 and stored it every winter.
Cant think of much else the dealer who has it offers aftermarket warrany.So if i see it this week ill post.

VKNismo 01-24-2017 05:22 PM

Why settle for less? You'll be happier with the Nismo.

Having owned a 2013 and now a 2017 Nismo I would say my 13' was not worth it coming from owning a well done 350z enthusiest model.
The 2015+ is wellllllll worth it. I got the tech as well and this car is my favorite car I've ever owned and that's a big thing for me to say since my 350z was my baby!

Runningmann 01-25-2017 10:02 PM

Well to be honest both cars are incredibly beautiful but the widebody lool of the nismo is awesome.

Body should be the same? You mean the Nismo aero? But yes, the Nismo is very unique in that sense.

the nismo is not widebody

rwnielsen 01-27-2017 02:22 AM

Nismos have stiff suspension and steering and they're noisy. I absolutely love mine and wouldn't have it any other way. I had an '08 Roadster and it was more civilized but not the same on a mountain road.

Hotrodz 01-27-2017 08:15 AM

I have a 2010 and I have modded out much of the oem parts lol. Loved it then and love it more now. The body kit is sexy as hell and the wheels as well. Get tons of compliments and breaks necks all the time. The best is how many people pull up and take video of my Z as they go by. Go for it and don't look back...well I do because I like the look on the face of Corvette and Porsche owners when I go by them!:tiphat:

So why are you here? You again don't have a clue about the subject matter. The 2010 Nismo does not have red accents. :wtf2: :shakes head:
