OP,

don't let us rain on your parade. :). At least, it's a Nismo and not a Toyota 4-Runner. :) :)

Heck, I am looking at the cab myself at the present. They are looking for a black for me to replace my blk coupe. Hopefully, I can join your parade soon.

You probably test drove a Nismo with the spacers still on :) The Nismo is stiffer than stock but he had coilovers on his car. Other than the minor suspension changes (and lateral damper) the chassis are the same.

Anyways, congrats. Will be interested to hear an honest review of the differences once you've had some seat time.

Wrong the Nismo suspension is harsh as hell! I had it on my base for 2 months and it was too much. Great for a track car though!

most coilover kits have harsher spring rates than the nismo kit, and plenty of people DD with them.

But I also bet they have set the settings lower to allow the non gut wrenching ride quility too. Remember the Nismo springs are linear and are evenly harsh, as my Swift Spec R's seem to not be as linear (coils are not evenly spaced, which a true linear spring will.) and seem softer and OEM like but are overall a lot stiffer spring. (stiffest spring on the market for the 370Z)

Hey guys thanks a lot for the advice/input about this matter. I got her now and im about to start moding her here in a few days. Ill post some pictures as soon as I got here cleaned up...

I haven't seen you in awhile, I'm surprised you're even still into the z.

My Hayabusa and work kept me busy all summer I didnt get to drive my Z for a while.. :)

Interesting this topic came up, I bought a base last month, no Nismos supposed to come to island until next year....LIE the stealership lied!!!! Anywho, I have about 900 miles on my Z now and was thinking about taking the couple thousand dollar loss and getting a 2011 nismo only one on island that just came in this week. I researched the cost of setting up a base to Nismo and very very $$$$ it would be much cheaper for me to just take a hit and save $$$$ in the long run. My payment calculated would go up by about $50 as well but thats at 36 months. After reading this thread, I hope to be lucky one who gets to pick it up, and yes I will use it as a DD....I dont get this whole DD thing, cars are meant to be driven I cant drive it when I am 110 so why not enjoy it while I can, I wish I could get a GTR and use it as a DD:driving::happydance:

Update, went to stealership LIARS, I checked online in their inventory, yes 370Z Nismo in Stock!!, Called because my drive is from the top of the island to the bottom to verify they have. Salesperson response, "yes we have NEEZ MOE" would you like to schedule a test drive? My reply "yes yes please!!" Get to stealership 45 minutes later...(yes Hawaii is small takes about 45 minutes to drive from top point to bottom) .....to my surpise Nismo not in parking lot,...sales lady response "Oh you wanted a Nismo, we dont have Nismo.....but we have this nice sport package etc etc would you like to look at it....My delayed response...ummm yeah why not....thinking to myself this damn sales lady, I am going to scare her now!!! So get to test drive the Sport and with 29 miles on it I went crazy with it, unfortunately the lady tells me "now this is how this car is meant to be driven" she gets all excited and etc etc....damn you Nissan Sales LADY!!!:worship:

Sorry to hear that brother.. but if you can get the Nismo go for it its just so worth it! I just got my F.I. and coilovers installed and she just looks so sexy! lol im just lovin it. Good luck man..

Here she is guys! I got her lowered with BC coiover installed F.I. exhaust and some spacers on the way..
