Base to Nismo
 
I understand that the Nismo 370z is that base with some added features. If I were to put the Nismo body kit on and upgrade the various parts to perform better then this Nismo could I officially claim the title of the Nismo?

Econ 03-16-2011 01:31 PM

no

if it doesnt have a nismo production number itll never be nismo...just a poser

toxik 03-16-2011 01:42 PM

Mythbusters prooved you could polish a turd. So it may look Nismo, but in the end, you know it's still ****.

what exactly do you mean by "claim title of the Nismo".... like tell your friends and other people that you have a Nismo 370z? How old are you?

You're just mad, because if he upgrades his Z to Nismo, it's faster than a Mustang

So it's even better than a regular mustang, right? More is always better.

I bought a 2011 GM 370Z NISMO. Then i took off the bodkit, swapped the interior, ECU, gauges, wheels, exhaust, brakes and suspension with a base model. I kept the production number and rear Nismo badges. I'm going for the stealth look......FTMFW

Guard Dad 03-16-2011 02:09 PM

Years ago I had a 66 Mustang 2+2 that was channeling a Shelby GT350, in some ways it was actually better (faster and cornered better) than the GT350. I intentionally did not put any GT350 graphics or badging on the car because I didn't want to spend all of my time explaining to people that the car was not a GT350 but a 2+2.

Be proud of what you are building, a Nismo EQUIPPED 370Z, but please don't try to pass it off for what it is not. The Nismo 370Z name belongs to those folks who put up the substantial additional dollars for the Nismo package. Anything else is dishonest. Call your car a Nismo at your peril, I can think of almost nothing that will anger the members of this forum more than misidentifying your car as a Nismo when it isn't.

XwChriswX 03-16-2011 02:09 PM

Buys a base...
Wants a Nismo...
Thinks, he'll just get the body kit and parts...

Little does he know, the world is on to his deception.

don't IMPULSE buy a base 370z if you want a nismo, as you can see these are the problems you run into.

lol.

toxik 03-16-2011 02:15 PM

only in the straights, the stang would kill it in the corners:bowrofl:

I wanted a Nismo edition 370Z. But I also wanted a Blue Z. I thought about it for a while and since I was going to mod it anyway, I just got the Base Z in Monterey Blue for $10K less. Got the Nismo body kit and my upgrades and will have a "Nismo" 370Z in MB. Don't care what people think. I wanted Blue more than what you people think about my Z. :)

mick 03-16-2011 02:25 PM

you can trade with the guy on the other thread who has a nismo and wants a base :)

m4a1mustang 03-16-2011 02:26 PM

You better not put NISMO badges on it, or we'll have to hunt you down! :bowrofl:

And definitely don't put Nismo plate frames on it when it's not actually a nismo.

Who in their right mind would get a NISMO plate frame anyways. :shakes head:

mark_taba85 03-16-2011 02:31 PM

I guess the OP should change his screen name and remove the nismo since we all know now that he doesn't have a nismo ^^

Um thats not fair. Lots of people with Nissan cars put NISMO license plate frames on them. Like 240SX, 300ZX etc. Do they all need to remove them since they don't have a "Nismo" ?
