theDreamer · 12-20-2012, 08:20 AM

Interesting.

diego@vossen · 12-20-2012, 11:49 AM

Very nice and interesting.

MJB · 12-20-2012, 07:52 PM

Nice. I like the two tone paint. Wish the Nismo came stock like that.

KERMIT · 12-20-2012, 09:05 PM

I am typically unimpressed by Nismo upgrades. Marginal improvements for significant $$. They really need to step it up

JungleZ · 12-20-2012, 09:21 PM

Sick

It looks so sick! But I really hope the car doesn't turn on because it has the steering lock issue.

A wee bit bitter, are we?

not to get off topic but you guys couldnt have had it worse than the steering lock issue in my 09 GTR.. i had one of the first cases before nissan did a tsb/recall for it. it locked up in my garage and 3 rednecks came out to tow it but had to put it on crash jacks to swivel out of the garage.. well every time he was jacking it up the handle took the paint off all 4 of my wheels.

but back to the car.. all you nismo owners are gonna see this and run out to autozone/pep boys and get a roll of red pin striping for the front grill..dont lie

i see its sporting 2108E nismo motor oil and 2189E Diff.. thats the same diff oil im using!

YES! In the last month with the CSC Failure and Steering Lock I'm down $1,700 dollars! I really wanted to Tint my Windows, Buy some Rims, and get the Nissan sport Brakes.

Either way Not to get off topic like the Mod said, Car looks Sick and I still love my 370Z.

I find it funny that people complain about the cost of "Nismo upgrades" when I see a fair amount of people spending thousands of dollars to look, drive and sound different on their base/sport/touring cars.

This car is sporting Volk G2s which are $3000 alone for a set. Consider the Nismo wheels made by Rays, which also make Volks, are comparable in look and weight. Then the body kit, the suspension, the exhaust, engine tweaks...

kenchan · 01-11-2013, 12:47 PM

^^ im struggling to understand what your point is?

MC · 01-11-2013, 12:50 PM

in addition to the Volk G2's this car has Advan Neova AD08 tires GTR brakes a carbon limited slip diff and copper twin plate clutch
