Is There a Comprehensive List of '09 - '14 Nismo Model Year Changes?

So, is there a list of '09-'14 Nismo model year changes? Thanks. Last edited by hey32g; 08-06-2017 at 10:47 AM. |

The most obvious things...I remember are:
Gunmetal wheels started in 2013 and were on the 2014 also. Two tone color was on the 2014. Performance and suspension honestly mean nothing on these cars ...based on all the mag rags a Nismo does not really have any advantage over the rest... We just look better ...way better IMOP.

Handling characteristics is different in the nismo vs sport. lap times will be virtually the same, but different suspension setup, stiffer rear/stiff front, quicker turn in response, corner entry/exit oversteery characteristics which is then stabilized by the rear spoiler at mid-high speed corners may be beneficial to advanced drivers is probably what you pay for. it is very difficult to know this until you drive both cars back to back at the limit on track, not public roads. On papers it does not show, so it is difficult to quantify, but autech actually put time into developing the handling characteristics of 09-14 nismos. '15 and up i cannot comment since the suspension tuning changed.

I don't believe the suspension changes will show up on the stock tires. Put RE71's of the same size on both and the stiffer tuning would be advantageous. The stock rubber is breaking loose before the party can start.
