My New 2013 Nismo

chii370 · 09-04-2012, 02:54 PM

heard unsettling news of a highly possible RS model of the nismo which will have:everything IMO the regular nismo SHOULD have had for its asinine premium that has already been mentioned. as everyone here knows, they made a RS 350 called the 380RS which as the Nissan engine naming convention goes indicated it has a 3.8l v 6 with some pretty wicked suspension and break improvments. as well as the Aero kit inspired by the "race spirit" car and the engine supposedly made upwards of 400fwhp. and could be yours for a pretty penny. this was, and will be again in my probably shared opinion a
D I C K move on Nissan's part. I for one would be particularly pissy if I was one of the thousands that will blow their load buying the 13.....o wait, I was

honestly I hope 1 of 3 things happen. they make it and u can't buy it. they make it and its 10 quadrillion dollars. or they never make it at all.

congrats, man.

dont worry the RS 370 Nismo will be very expensive. You did good getting yours now.

DJFLIPSIDE · 09-04-2012, 07:00 PM

Congrats...Awesome! looks great in black.

Nice looking car! I have the same color on my Nismo. I love the black chrome wheels/red calipers. Factory murdered! Dealership had my car sitting on the floor, didn't have to order and wait.

I didn't get the Bose package...so no Bluetooth. I'm planning on adding an aftermarket headunit with dvd player though.

Not highly possible, it's been out for a while now. Just do a forum search and you will find pictures of it somewhere... goes for over 100K.

My bad... just remembered it's actually RC that's out.

chii370 · 09-05-2012, 10:03 AM

wonder what motor it will be? at the time the ported 3.5 aka the 3.8 was the latest and greatest thing. but now its common to find most 3.7 ported to 4.5. so maybe it will be called a 450RS? who knows. I don't remember the 380 ever being 100k.....maybe I'm mistaken but I thought u could get it for around 55k didn't do any research on it, this is just what I think I remember seeing back when they were new lol. so don't consider it a viable source lol. but do consider this....who in their right mind would pay 100k for a 350z with a body kit, 400 fly wheel HP and some suspension mods

I inquired about this last April when I ordered my Nismo and the regional rep said that it was not available. I had read about it online and wanted one.

Armhunter · 09-06-2012, 07:45 PM

The body kit on the 380rs is ugly! i would not want one. Although, I just took my Nismo in for an Oil change and they had a new 2013 GTR sitting in the room... I do want that..

I test drove a charcoal gray one (GT-R) before I picked up my Nismo. Very fast but the Nismo felt like more of a sports car. The GT-R had so much power but it was an automatic. For $129,000 I wouldn't buy an automatic. I am hooked on my 2013 Nismo!! The last Z I had was my first car and it was a 240Z!

I got the chance to drive one at a track and I know EXACTLY what u mean. 100% honesty it ROMPS my z around a track but its not as fun. yes it glues your face to the drivers side window on right turns and u will be wearing a neck race after 2 weeks of owning it. but its SO good that its boring. its nearly impossible to make the car go wild or even come close to losing grip unless u r just retarded and go into a 50 MPH turn at 120. in that regard it reminded me of a go cart. by the time ur in it for 30 minutes and your on lap 20 the smile u had is now gone, your bored. YAY CONTROL. and don't dare turn off the traction control (which doesn't change anything) otherwise Nissan is chomping at the bit to void your warranty. don't even get me started with launch control. if all u care about is numbers? by all means be dumb and surrender your 130k. if u wanna have FUN save ur cash and get a 370. toss 20k at it and it will be right beside the gtr.

forza370z · 09-08-2012, 12:35 AM

Year I heard GTR is all computerized. It's just like you playing GT5 with all the aids turned on. It gives you perfect launch and perfect cornering. Even a noob can drive it like a pro. On the other hand, the 370z will keep you so busy inside cockpit and not everyone can do well on the track. In this sense, yeah the Z is more fun.

chii370 · 09-10-2012, 12:56 AM

omg...... fatal and RETARDED flaw in the 13 nismos. I was reading weight reduction tips and thought I would take out the spare. "only applies to Bose package"

so first thing I find odd is that it has an extra trunk mat with sound material on it. then once I got to the spare I found out why and face palmed so hard I almost killed myself. guess where that extra woofer is?

that's right. its a big black plastic disk that says Bose on it and it sits ON TOP of the spare.
normally this might not be an issue. but after I took out the spare I put the woofer down in its place and what do u know....... as suspected the screw down thing bottoms out before its tight enough to hold it. so I thought SURELY they put a disconnect for the woofer back here......NOPE. its wired straight into it and there is no disconnect as it runs back between panels and the frame.

I ask u this. what happens when I NEED that spare? that woofers just going to wildly bounce around in the empty space? who's ******* stupid *** idea was that? I think this is petition worthy.
