2015 370Z NISMO - Real World Pics

Nargrakhan

Well I suppose I'm glad I could be of service.

But yea, I do a lot of cross country driving, and identifying cars at a distance is something I do to stay awake on the long boring stretches across nowhere. Looking at the horizon also helps to avoid Highway Patrol and avoiding road debris/damage.

2015 Nismos are ugly!

Yeah, sucks they created more drag for the 2015 Nismo. (Note: The older Nismo has .29 drag which was the same as the coupe sport, but with the high wing generated more downforce keeping drag equal & more downforce is a win/win. The new Nismo lost downforce with the changed wing and generates more drag.)

Question is, does the changed gear ratio make up for it?

Since were on the topic of 2015 flaws: those "red lips" on the front bumper are position oh-so perfectly as road rock magnets. Unless you baby the hell outta your car and avoid the Interstate (who does that with a sports car), it's going to get pitted and scared. Because it's a shiny red color, those marks show up so awesome in bright light. I suppose it's a plus that they're plastic prepainted clip-on, but if you're OCD about car damage you might wanna stockpile a few in storage.

***EDIT***
The reason why scars show up so easy on them, is because the red paint is only a "micro-millimeter" thick over a gray plastic. When that paint is nicked off, the dull plastic underneath shows so well. It probably wouldn't be so bad if Nissan used a red plastic under the paint... but for whatever reason it's not.

***EDIT 2***
It was relayed to me that the aforementioned parts are colored Nissan AG2 (Aztec Red?) for anyone using the touch up option. See EDIT 4 below.

***EDIT 3***
I ordered some AG2 to compare with the "red lips" of the 2015 Nismo. While the red color matches, there's this "metallic" sheen to the paint that is not in AG2. Doing some personal research I've discovered a color called "Sparkle Red" by Dupli-Color. Supposedly Nissan calls this color "A15" in their inventory code... but I can't find anything like that from Nissan. I've ordered a sample of Sparkle Red from Dupli-Color to do some on-hands investigation... or possibly mixing a bit with "AG2" to see if it works. Will report findings ASAP.

***EDIT 4***
Experiment complete. Sparkle Red (A15) is the correct touch up. Has the metallic part to the color. Matches exactly.

Not only that, but the new Nismo went up in weight (3416lbs), even with the new gear ratio, it doesn't look like it has increased its 0-60mph or 1/4 time compared to previous model years. 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo First Test - Motor Trend

And no serial number? 09-14 Nismo FTW

As much as you are entitled to your opinion, you have to expect some back lash when you decide to criticize a body kit that is owned by 99% of NISMO owners.

Same battle occurred when the switch from 2012 to 2013 front facia happened. You can choose to get but burned or enjoy the humor.

Depending on which body colors, I might agree with you!


Cool. It makes sense now.


Yes I have.


In a car, from enough distance? No. I can't tell.

Also from the pictures, the middle car looks longer than the top and bottom. I know that isn't the case because it's cropped... but it does if I took them literally and never saw a Z before, just using those three pictures.


Sorry you feel that way. Won't bother me if you set your account to ignore my posts. I promise I won't say anything nasty about you. Seriously. I'm not that kind of person.

Wow 3 inches is significant, what about the rear bumper?

Nargrakhan

14 NISMO to 15 NISMO appears to be the same length for rear bumper.

I still believe the main body of the car is the same length for all 370Z's. That is to say parts like the fender, door, and quarter panel.

RicerX

That's what she said.

(that's all I have for this thread - all NISMO Zs are awesome)

I still like the 2009 original non-Nismo body. The early NISMO looks too long and the new looks too busy. I like the 2015 nismo interior and rear spoiler though

Looks better in white at least

ajperretta

Looks like someone bought a cheap front bumper and ugly rims, then put them on a sport model.
