2015 Nismo

DPE G

I ordered one already, and it is a little disappointing they did away w the numbering. I just talked to a guy I met at Zdayz who works for corporate nissan. He said they did away with the numbering due to the Nismo edition not being exclusive to the Z.

Yeah, I figured since almost all Nissan models are now going to get a Nismo trim, that was the reasoning for not being numbered anymore.

Its not special anymore. Nissan ruined "nismo" now. It used to be a prestigious and rare thing and now its the difference between getting an s maxima and an sv. Reduced to yet another Uninspired basic trim level. Probably even assembled in the same place now. Now u can take all the nismo parts and put it on a base and pass it off as a nismo. No one would be the wiser without the serial number plate matching a VIN.

No offense to those who bought one its just my opinion that its uglier, heavier, probably performs the same and is more expensive with less exclusivity and sentamental value. Reminds me of those OZ rally mitsubishi lancers, pretending to be be passed off as something comparable to a real evo. Seats are sweet though, +1 for that.

Even the 370 nismo 09-14 were a slight backwards step to what the old 350 nismo had, and all the previous japan only Z's and the r32-34 nismos. At least those had structural chassis changes, more welding, and a significantly different overal performance and value. Nismo has really fallen from grace in the past decade.

yup thats why. I guess their logic was they would need to do it for every model or something


I had the #33 NISMO 350z by chance and always thought that was cool since it was Z33. so yeah I really liked the serial # thing.

you think thats bad.... Im taking delivery of #1 GTR NISMO ever built for the US in a couple weeks and it doesnt have a designation on it. the VIN is just a generic #1608. I did get Nissan to have me a plaque made( not for the car but for like a wall) made so thats better than nothing

Hello, everyone!

I've been lurking this forum for the last year or so without posting a single thing, so I thought I'd at least fulfill my civic duty and share a few pictures that I have taken at a local dealership...

**Please forgive me, my post is a bit picture heavy. **

^ It's true...no special serial number plate.


^ Addition of a fender lip (if that's what it's called) is a nice touch.


^ Stickers.

Other than those and the lack of the large Nismo rear wing, I like the car. I even went to the extent of calling Nissan USA and requesting to special order a 2015 Nismo with the 09-14 spoiler, but the guy who I spoke with stated that there is nothing that they could do. He went further to say that I could always " go aftermarket", but it may "possibly void the warranty". In my opinion, I don't like how Nissan went with a smaller rear wing. The duckbill spoiler doesn't compliment the aggressiveness of the new front fascia. And maybe I'm the only one, but I never had any issues with the large Nismo wing in the way while driving/backing-up.

Now regarding the Recaro seats...I'm 5'6, 150lbs and the seats felt a little too snug on my body. Then again, that's probably because I'm not used to sitting on Recaros.
