If you are debating on trading it in, at least try and hold out for the next generation model. As many times as I have switched cars in the past, I switch cars for a newer model, not just a newer year. I would hate to pay all over for the same thing, or just about the same thing.

I always think why the Z doesn't go FI? It's been in NA form for 10 years! I wouldn't trade in my 09 nismo for 12... not until the Z comes out with turbo charged...

I heard they added more boost to the 2012 model.

I think you're right... doesn't the 2012 have 4 turbochargers and make 1500 rwhp? Definitely a better car

Don't do it.......................

The only thing my car has over any other previous year is the paint chip in my front bumper

Oh, and the oil cooler. Which I'm not convinced yet is all that great. Works now in the winter(ish) time, we'll see how it holds up in the summer.

you must have had an oil consumption issue on the factory motor. hows your syncros and tranny holding up?

Just so that you know, I posted a thread about selling/trading my 09 NISMO and getting a G37 IPL (Link). I need a back seat so that I can accommodate kid(s)/car-seat(s)/boost-seat(s). In the end, it is not really worth letting my NISMO go. I am going to pick up a sedan (at some point), keep my NISMO, and call it a day.

As far as issues with the 09 NISMOs, your dealer should cover all of the little quirks under warranty. The hatch springs, window motors acting up, oil consumption issues (if you have that, but I didn't), and hopefully the electronic steering lock

(not holding my breathe though). Bate's Nissan even took care of the stuff that BMW Window Tinting jacked up when they did my windows and chopped up my stereo system install

(I had to go in behind them and reinstall everything, so I basically paid them to **** my car up) UNDER WARRANTY. If your NISMO puts a smile on your face even similar to mine, you should keep it. Just wait for the Z35 (or whatever). They may actually release it with the turbo V6 that they have been working on for quite some time now. From what I understand, the 2013 NISMO will be just like the 2012.................for what it's worth

Everything went blurry after reading the part about you even thinking about getting rid of your SR TT to be Nismo. Thank goodness you refrained

I know.....I know. Won't happen again! PW/SR Brigade still rollin wit da BAWS!

mick · 03-09-2012, 11:32 PM

i believe the 2013 has a better stereo system but it's still not worth it, (to trade the old nismo for new nismo). so i vote no for the 2012

nismochiq · 03-10-2012, 09:18 PM

well i did have the low oil consumption issue and everything just went to crap after that. so seeing as I wasn't upside down, I did it because I am paying the same for what I already was paying, and with 0% financing. so honestly I made out good with it. plus with all the issues I was having...it might have been a stupid move, but seeing as it was the same amount but no interest rate, I kind of made it out good.

roplusbee · 03-10-2012, 09:30 PM

well alrighty then. Pix of the new beast?
