still a no-go for me.

Asheth · 07-11-2014, 09:39 AM

I like the front actually I might hold to see how conversion is

7speed · 07-11-2014, 10:14 AM

Looks pretty good in black.

himmy33 · 07-11-2014, 10:19 AM

Love the black! Wonder when these will be hitting the dealer floor?

Volk Z · 07-11-2014, 11:24 AM

Personally I owned a 2013 black Nismo and 2 changes I went to make right away was black out the headlights and new seats... This is a win on the new Nismo. Also I didn't want a large wing for personal preference reasons.
That 2015 to me looks better. Truly needs suspension drop and a set of better looking more aggressive forged lightweight wheels and exterior looks wise is done.

KaienZ34 · 07-11-2014, 11:55 AM

Any part numbers on the front bumper, or if it reuses the 09-14 nismo undershroud and fender liners?

They basically took in every complaint about the nismo and changed it: limited rear visibility because of the wing=no wing, scrape the front lip=no lip, stiff ride="re-tuned" suspension (softer suspension), only comes in manual=auto option. They basically took all the things that make it a nismo and threw them out the window. The only thing that I like are the seats. IMO it is no longer a nismo, but rather a V2 sport. If you put the 2015 nismo next to the nismo sentra concept, you will see that they literally just transferred over the front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts and made them fit the Z. I highly doubt there was any wind-tunnel testing for this kit like there was on the current kit. It looks to be purely aesthetic with no aerodynamic benefits. Just my 2 cents though.

All old Nismos will lose 25% of their value now.....

Clearly this new one is 1 million times better.

I agree. Total let down.

^^boo this man!

I hope this car isn't severely watered-down but then again I kind of do so I can say I had the last good year.

Shadezz · 07-11-2014, 02:03 PM

Read this and I like they gave the auto + new gearing..
While no changes were made to the NISMO’s 350-hp 3.7-liter V-6 (which puts out 18 more horsepower than the standard 370Z), Nissan has shortened the final-drive ratio for the manual version from 3.69:1 to 3.92:1, ensuring Usain Bolt–like reflexes when blasting off the line. At 3.69:1, the automatic’s final drive is also shorter than the standard 370Z automatic’s 3.36:1 rear end.

Couple more pics this was from a cars and coffee in Tennessee. I'm just taking them from the Facebook page.

Guy said dealer told him the seats are 9k for both seats. They are alcantara trimmed.

Thanks for linking the pics. Did he mention if the car is still a go for release in July? Or is there a chance it will be delayed until August?

***EDIT***
Nevermind. I just saw the official Nissan press release that was dated July 8th. Car is still targeted for this month.
