2015 Nismo

Davey · 07-11-2014, 02:59 PM

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.

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.

I like the look in Pearl White... other colors don't seem great in my opinion.

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.

that dealer had to be blowing smoke out his ***, there is no way those seats are "over 9000" dollars.... if i had a scouter i would crush it.

Malm · 07-11-2014, 07:07 PM

its nice.. but it doesn't look like a "nismo". Looks like a base with nice wheels and a sweet body kit.

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.

I agree. Total let down.

haha knowing nissan, it very well could be. its just hilarious because all the seat is, is a customized recaro sportster cs. goes for about 1500 each without the NISMO logo:

Wow I like the 2015 Sports pac...

Oh.

Seriously every time I see pictures of the new "Nismo", I really get a good chuckle.

Elan · 07-12-2014, 04:59 AM

On another note, I Photoshopped what I think the 2015 Sports Package might look like.

lpnaylor · 07-12-2014, 01:50 PM

It looks like a base model dressed upped to look like a Nismo

cv129 · 07-12-2014, 03:21 PM

I always read about ppl complaining the 09-14 nismo is just a sport with body kit, that it doesn't run any faster than base+sport in the str8 or track, that the stiff springs don't enhance performance...now that there are actual useful changes to the car, ppl complain the way it looks....lets just get a 991 GT3 and forget the Z

Zed-Hed · 07-12-2014, 04:00 PM

This is the best looking 370z in my opinion. The previous Nismo had an ugly front and the wing was overdone. To suggest that this is only an enhanced sport model is a joke. The power is the same with better gearing.
I do wish the wheels would come in all silver as well. Give us an oil cooler too!!

Asheth,
Thanks for the pics.
