Almost every test I have seen shows very little improvement in any performance category with the Nismo, and many tests show it does various things worse than previously tested Touring/Sport models. |

yea i'd say you'd end up replacing everything about it being a nismo if you got one. i'd just get a touring sport and go from there

the body kit is entirely personal preference. I think it looks cool. i have a sport package though and i like the understated look. |

Ideally a 40th anniversary.
Since there is none left in Canada, I want a 2010 Black 6mt fully loaded. Since there is none left in canada in the above specs with nav, I may have to either: 1) go with out nav and install aftermarket, or 2) go blue or gunmetal. The dealership is now checking the inventory for blue or gunmetal for me and will call me back today or tomorrow. |

I agree, I simply meant that to option a Touring with the Nismo rims was not cost effective from the dealer. Even $2K is way overpriced for a factory set of rims that size imo. |

Yeah given your past hx of modding, the nismo would be a waste of money
W/ the 40th you still get the cool factor of a limited/collector edition but aren't throwing money at stuff u will probably replace.

I personally like the color-scheme and that is the only way to get the red seats in a Z unless you find someone with a 40th who wants to swap you for some wierd reason. I love the color-scheme.

Come on man. You know exactly what he means and theres no reason to fish to get him to say it. If you had a GTR and didn't get "stuck in mud or snow" once in a while then you're not doing it right.

Which is why I refuse to buy one. I don't want to void my warranty doing something known to break $20K components. I want to buy a car I can drive without fear of that. I suspect most people do, but settle for the GT-R as it has other features they like and they take thier lumps if they break it.
