The thread is titled is the NISMO worth it? Yes it is from what I and others have proved, can the performance be outmatched, yes it can. Can the performance, and exterior and extensive parts list be outmatched for the same value NO!!

Anything can be outmatched.... Perform we agree upon but exterior you said NO.... A beautiful set of 3 piece forged wheels from HRE 19's or 20's are outmatched and value hold great. I have never seen a set of USED HRE's sell under 5 grand but yet they are fairly close to the msrp.... NISMO doesn't compare. Exterior is opinionated as many do not consider the NISMO kit as the most attractive, me included. Looks good but definitely not top 3 kits for the Z for me.

I know what the thread is titled as I stated multiple times, in opinion form of course, its NOT worth it. Based on my post, I obviously know what the topic is labeled. You are basically favoring your side, just as I favor my side in this argument. BOth of us are responding or defending statements the exact same way. You are pro nismo and im not. You make points, I make points. You mention flaws, I mention flaws.

Some dude wants opinions and you think the whole world is going to agree with your statements? Obviously since this is posted on the form, he is somewhat unsure if the value or cost is worth it. Which in return is shows us that another person has doubt in the NISMO package.

PS: Just saw a guy on the forums wanting to sell his NIsmo brake set, from NISMO 370z for better brakes... WHY NOT buy the base or sports, and then build on from there? eliminating NISMO parts is the whole reason you drive a NISMO. Sad when you see NISMO owners replacing nismo parts. They dont even believe there the best out there.

To answer your question, I had three sugar free rockstars, 16 oz and vacation mode for 1 week and a half. Work and evening classes return next week so Im enjoying my time off.

And if NISMO were to make an energy drink, I would argue that its the best bang for your buck lmao...

BTW this should be a sticky for new non-z members looking at buying a nismo.... They need to view this valuable 11 page book of information on nismo worthiness

It's a free country, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just wanted to clear up some facts.

FYI, the NISMO has Akebonos just like the Sport model, there is no such thing as NISMO branded brakes.

Forward me the link, I may want to buy those brakes

Carbon_z · 12-28-2010, 03:08 AM

I know they are called Akebonos as you can see on page 8 or 9 or maybe 10 lol. I acknowledged them as Akebonos

Used intakes, exhaust and etc. Somebody buy a stillen exhaust for 1200 grand and I PROMISE YOU can sell it for 50-70 percent return. 600-800 on a used exhaust. Quick sell, make 50 percent back and sell for 600 and thats a DEAL

Anyways....im going to call it a tie

All I have been reading from you is how much money you can save by making a regular Z into a nismo or better. If you want to really go down that path then you might as well say that 370z is not worth it and you should get a different car if you want to save as much money as you can with gaining as much performance right?

I see a dozen Z's everyday where I live, but I have not yet to find one nismo. Maybe im unlucky, maybe I am not, I like the fact that its rare and a special edition. Touring sport and the nismo price difference is not that big.

This is the way I see it, do you want to keep your car stock? Go for the nismo, if you want to mod the car then don't because you will be replacing the parts. This is not a very hard decision.

Carbon_z · 12-28-2010, 10:43 AM

All I said, again, isn't how to replicate a nismo but how much of a modded Z would relate to the nismo. A nodded 370z and nismo are not so far apart... Both are paying the extra bucks for additional, not required, performances.

mick · 12-28-2010, 01:08 PM

you guys aren't going to convince each other

i was sold on the car the moment i read that it looked like 'an angry catfish'

No its not the nismo exhaust, i got this exhaust off my PW 09 370z sports touring that i TRADED for my Nismo

I modded that 370z with almost everything that you have on your list but at the end of the day it is still not a NIsmo. No offense I used to sound just like you when i had my PW 370z

always looking for Nismo's imperfections dont get me wrong i love my 370z but every time i see Nismo it made me feel like there is something missing to the car, im not saying that Nismo is better than 370z but to me there is a lot of things that i like on the car that nismo has and 370z dont that is just me. so i went ahead and trade it in for Nismo and I tell you what

I am so much happier now.

billet370 are you just trying to justify the price you paid or what? you sure do care alot about this topic....

wishihadnav · 12-28-2010, 04:47 PM

base, sport, touring are not "better" than Nismo's...it just depends on what direction you want to go...for what you get with a Nismo stock its definatly worth it IMO.
