New NISMO model 370Z?
 

I was bombing around on Nissan Global's website/Facebook when I ran across the press release for the Juke NISMO (Insert comment here:_______________).

Anyway....Nismo Japan has just opened a MASSIVE new NISMO facility near Yokohama. Which is unbelievable looking. The reason....NISMO is going to be releasing a whole new model line of NISMO vehicles like back in the '90s. Old news to many, but I spotted a comment in this article that is interesting.

"This is the first chapter in a production story that will later unveil a range of models with motorsport DNA and engineering honed on the track, and the next in line is the 370Z, on sale later in 2013."

Anyone else seen or heard anything about this? Or is Europe just FINALLY getting a NISMO 370Z model?

Here is the link to the article: Nissan Global:Blog

Thoughts?

See youtube Link: NISMO Europe Debut

1:07 in in the 2013 NISMO is shown. But I dont know if it is anything different aside from some cosmetic touches. The top wing section is gun metal along with the lower areas like a NISMO 350Z. These may only be Europe-spec changes too.

I wonder if Nismo and IPL (Infiniti's performance line) will become more prominent in-house tuners for their respective brands...just like BMW's M division.

Nissan corporation may focus on allowing Infiniti to pursue this w/ IPL models since they compete more directly in these high-performance, luxury segments~~~

I would love to see the Japanese really show the world how their engineering can be applied towards high-performance products. Lexus surprised quite a few enthusiasts with their IS-F sedan...

Yeah this is the 2014 Euro Spec Nismo 370z. I haven't heard any major changes(power/performence wise) except few cosmetic changes. Love the steeling wheel tho. Not sure if the US Nismo will have those cosmetic changes too.

Cool. I'm interested in the RS models.

2014 Nissan 370Z Nismo gets tweaked

Looks like the same changes are coming to the US.

Personally, I think the gray body kit looks hideous. It reminds me of the kids with modified Civics that haven't gotten the funds to paint their add-ons.

I know some people are into this, but I think it detracts greatly from the look of the car.

AAHHHHH man.....looks like I am going to have to bit the bullet and get a 2014 now. LOL.

fog light on the rear bumper. gross. the only reason i got a nismo was to get the rear bumper WITHOUT it

but that steering wheel :yum:

Don't like the rear reflector, hope that is not for the US. Not digging the red stripes, when you look at the pictures it is easy to see its just a sticker. :mad: Not sure how I feel about the 2 tone, but wonder what Gun Metallic looks like. Is it just one color then?

No tangible benefits, and the paint scheme may make it harder to like. Not sure this is a benefit to the car...

-Red stripes are stickers.
-Rear Fog light does not seem to be an integral mold with the bumper. separate piece most likely be purcahsed at the dealer as accessory.
-Yokohama advan sport now changed to Potenza

Ill need to see it in real life to decide. I wonder if it will look badass in black? It would be a total blackout except for red calipers and red stripe.

Isn't that just a Mag. black Nismo with stickers? :icon17:

oh yea i forgot the '13 has red calipers. Damn. Well, ill have to see it in real life to see if i like the white/black! That sucks its only stickers (supposedly), they will peel off/ not last . For the 45k they should get a paintbrush out

The two tone part is grey, not black.

I just noticed that via new pictures...

I'll def take that steering wheel!

Is there an option for twin turbos?

:icon18::icon18:......


Remove that stupid stripe.... :facepalm:

i just want the emblem on the back and the steering wheel...

The same two things I would want. That steering wheel is nice.

It's pretty bad when the only thing people like is the steering wheel. LOL :icon17:

My freind who works for nissan as a dist ribution specialist said the stipes are paint.

I bet that emblem is going to be STUPID expensive. The NISMO badge on the rear of the current NISMO is something like $200.

Steering wheel reminds me of the one in a gt3rs

I really like the two tone spoiler. I think I'm going to get mine done like that.

After seeing that I'm glad I bought a 13:icon17:

Actually, I just want the "O".:tup: So it's like $40? Hmmm, still kinda expensive.:icon17:

Right. I would hope they would add more HP instead of stripes, steering wheel etc. I think I'm in the same boat with everyone else when I say....WE WANT MORE HP FOR THE NEW MODELS!!

GTM tookover where Nissan left off.:tup:

What's funny is that car is at about its maximum of HP it can effectively use in 1st and 2nd gear. Nissan would have to redesign the car if they made much more than 350 hp. That's why they aren't upping HP. I always laugh at these guys sporting 500 plus hp twin turbos. Most of builds don't support use of this kind of power. Probably why you only see vids of twin turbo cars WOT in 3rd or forth gear.

Time to retire Z34 platform.

I hope they will re-release the NISMO LTHs for the Titan!

...as well as other high performance NISMO parts. I would love to have some NISMO offroad wheels too

Ummmm , yeah they can handle the power. My last Z put down 481hp and 427tq on a stock engine and a stock AT7. I didn't have a tranny cooler either. Hell, I just finished putting the car back to stock yesterday and it runs just as well as the day I bought it. That kit was on my car for over 17,000 miles. I might of had problems with the kit but for the most part I was putting way more than stock hp down. So yes these car CAN handle more on stock parts.

I wouldn't mine seeing that....If that happens I might have to dump the 10' ranger and look into a family of Nismos:tup:

I'll definitely pick up the mirrors and the steering wheel when available. The rest is honestly pretty ugly. That two-tone body design is pretty awful.

I guess most of you guys didn't like the Nismo 350z? I love the two tone :tup:

I like that dual-tone look ... reminds me of a 350z Nismo, for sure. yea, it's way cool

i agree, but i think it'll only look right on white and red, black and gray, not so much.

Yeah it looks just like the 350z flavor. I wasn't a huge fan.
I'll add those mirrors and the steering wheel though.
