Default Whos car is this?

Hey guys, i joined this forum a few months ago when i knew i was going to get a 370z nismo in august. My decision is still the same and im already talking to a few dealers about it. (though, i should wait until the 2013 model comes out so the older models drop their price a bit)

Anyway, i am looking to do big stuff on this car and leave it with almost no OEM parts. I really dont know a LARGE amount about cars but i love learning and always talk to people about them. So, I was looking around the internet for some modded 370z nismo's and i came across this one. This is honestly the nicest car iv ever seen in my whole life and i really would like to know where i can find the whole spec line up and exactly what this person put in to the car.

If someone knows whos car this is and if they have posted about all their mods, please let me know!

Welcome future Z friend! . Question for you: if you are really set on modifying your car, then, why get a Nismo? You can buy a base model now for a fairly good price and mod the **** out of it!

This is not a NISMO. It has Amuse bodykit on it. If you are planning on heavy mod on the Z, I'd suggest you not to get the NISMO version so that you can save some money on the mods. People get NISMO mainly because of the look and few performence upgrades out of the box.

Im mainly getting the nismo because of the order in which im modding my car. Im starting with the interior (roll bar, sparco seats, sparco stearing wheel, repaint a few detailed parts, ect), then moving onto the engine and preformance (might get the stage 2 or 3 GTM twin turbo kit this, double dual exhaust pipes, some suspensions leaned towards the drifting side, ect.) and only THEN work on the exterior looks of the car (100% getting amuse body kit, Voltex GT wing, smoke out the head/tail lights, Varis hood, ect.

id also like to add that i dont have money prepared for this and im only going to be doing these things on-the-way so its going to take 2-3 years for my car to be complete.

The only things im probably going to do within the first year of getting the car is the interior things i listen, right after that im going to be saving up for the stage 2 or 3 GTM twin turbo kit (any reviews/advice/feedback of this btw?) which will take me 8-12 months to gather the money for.

BUT back to the main question, noone knows whos car this is? im dying for a full list of everything this person did to the car

I know you love the 370Z but for the amount of money you will be putting into this car with these EXPENSIVE mods you could really do much better than a 370Z. Have you considered getting something else?

He doesn't have all that money right now.. it's going to take him 2-3 years to buy all those mods.. so in his current financial situation.. 370z > all

Also.. what can you get for the price of a TT kit and suspension upgrades that, stock, would be 'much better' than the 370?

Nope, you aren't missing anything.... the OP is stating that he wants to start with a Nismo, and then put the Amuse body kit on it and then do some other mods.

I personally feel (as a LOT of other 370Z Owners here do) that this would be a complete waste of money because a majority the people I know that have the Nismo got it for the body kit (and the "20" extra HP, lol) that it has.

The OP did NOT know that the pictured car features an Amuse body kit, and although it is a very nice looking car, I have no idea why that particular owner would also feature the Nismo stripes and logo on a car with an Amuse body kit, but as the saying goes, "To each, his own"

I knew there was an amuse body kit on it because thats how i came across it online, after looking for a few pictures of the body kit. But the main reason im getting the 370z nismo rather than the standard one even though im putting in all these mods in, is because the engine and performance upgrades, such as the GTM twin turbo stage (2/3) kit, that im getting will take me about a year to gather the money for so "22 hp" is something id prefer having. Also, the exterior things, such as the amuse body kit, varis hood, and Voltex GT wing; will take even longer for me to get than that, and i really dont like the standard 370z look, so i will be using the 370z nismo bodykit itself for a bit before i change it.

Last but not least,

im not quite sure what you mean by that but id like you to explain. Are you saying that it seems kind of foolish to leave the nismo badge on the back of the car and leave/add the nismo stripes on the side of the car because it has an amuse body kit on it? i dont get the relation? or do you mean something else?

If you want a Nismo get it. If you want to put a body kit, then the Nismo is not the way to go b/c people that get the Nismo do not put a body kits on them. Get a base 370 plus sport package.
