no, its not worth it. buy a body kit and some coilovers and you'll be good

I think it is worth it if you bought it from the get go. But you didn't. You may end up wasting more money trading it in. You mind as well keep what you have and just mod it.

i agree the nismo needs a nice set of coilovers and thats it.......

what body kits out there produce 150lbs of downforce? heated leather and nav are def not missed in my car. the nismo seats actually breath. my back sweats like a pig in the summer and these seats keep things fresh. everyone who sees my car says "MAN THE NORMAL Z LOOKS BORING AND NOT VERY AGGRESSIVE COMPARED TO THIS MODEL!"

i cant get gas without someone gawking and asking questions. to each his own, but i say do it!

How much would you lose in the trade?

i'm glad you like the nismo and get so many compliments on it

i think if the line of features it offers you as compared to the Touring/Sport Z are more up your alley then i think its a great buy. however, the buying new car, selling new car for a different version of the same thing=bad idea/ waste of money. you love your nismo, i love my Touring/Sport, but i wouldn't tell anyone to trade one for the other if they already have one.

I agree with you if the OP is going to be in the red financialy, but if not then switch!

Thanks guys for the advice.. I went to the dealership yesterday just to see if what would happen if i tried to trade my car in (numbers/prices wise). It turn out that my payment only goes up $50 dollars so i was very tempted to do it.. My PW already has FI exhaust coilovers and black out headlights which is the dealer is willing to give it back to me..

thas awesome that they are willing to give it to you. your monthly payment only goes up $50 how much of a down payment did you put into your current car and how many monthy payments at what $/ month have you put in so far?

fuct · 11-06-2010, 01:19 PM

50*12=600
600*5 YEARS= $3000 extra for the nismo....

id do it especialy if you have an exhaust and coiloves lined up. gl!

only if the nismo was brand new with very low miles.

stunner253 · 11-06-2010, 01:21 PM

Yea its pretty cool that they willing to do that.. i got my car february this year.. and its gonna be 5yrs term. i know $50 may not sounds much but in a long term it ads up, but man like i said $50 is not much lol!

The nismo only have 3200 miles on it its pretty low for that year, the car is clean

I say keep the car you have and add the Nismo bits you like. Used Nismo suspensions go for cheap, body kit is easy. You'd be the only "Nismo" with Nav!

As far as the trade goes I wouldn't be willing to pay a penny more, your car is worth more than a Nismo.

tjlazer · 11-06-2010, 04:50 PM

Just buy the nismo body kit for it and get some rims. But it will cost you more than the increase per month...
