Default Does nismo 370z come with different engine?

Today at the Jim Ellis Mazda, a service rep argued with me that 370z nismo has different engine from regular 370z(sport & none sport). I told him that there is no difference from the two engines and he insisted on 370z nismo have to use synthid oil. Am I wrong or he was just being a DB

Why argue with a Mazda service rep about this anyway?

Reminds me of a 'vette owner I was talking to who swore the LS1 in his C5 was different than the one in my WS6. Almost as bad as the Z28 owner who tried to convince me their car was special because it came with a corvette engine.

Some people just cannot be swayed. Ignore.

The Nismo has a different exhaust (h-pipe) & ecu tune. Other than that, the powertrain is completely the same as a standard Z. The cost upgrades are the result of the suspension, body and other Nismo add-on's.

his wife drives a mazda speed 3. so i assume they took that there for some service and he drove his Z.

but yes.. he needs to stop servicing the mazda speed and upgrade the z.. at least until he can drive it faster than his wife can her MS3..

But in his defense, back in the late 80s when the LS1 came out, they did rate it as lower power in the F bodies, although the dyno didn't show a real difference.

Reminds me when I went to the Honda dealership asking about the S2000 right when they came out. The salesman told me it had 13:1 compression and the redline was set to 9000rpm for "legal" reasons.
