Does the Nismo feel better in the corners, etc? My 370 Sport always pushed. A bit of suspension change might fix that, so I am wondering if the NISMO is nicer.

A while back, I was looking through a car catalog and there was a section that said "Cars 50k and under" and I found the Nismo 370Z. I want to learn everything about this car and found this forum. Perfect. So here's my first question: What is the difference between Nismo 370Z and just a regular 370Z?
Nissan website. Dear lord... :rolleyes:

A Nismo is a Sport package 370Z with a body kit (different wheels) and a bit of tinsel (chassis dampeners)

Now... It has an extra 18hp... If you plan on changing your intake/exhaust, which you will... You'll gain MUCH more than 18hp to the WHEELS


In my opinion, unless that look is what you yearn and die for... Save your money...
Also the extra 18 hp is compensating for the extra weight and over-sized wheel/tire(grip) pkg of the Nismo.

i think base sportpackage + nismo wheels is THE way to go.

Just be warned that an authentic Amuse kit runs north of $5k after paint and installation.

Also plenty of other kits around to choose from. The Amuse kit looks great, but with a lot of knock-offs, there's too many around. (website may not display correctly in Internet Explorer, try Safari or Google Chrome)

stiffer swaybar, different springs, and dampers and wheels and tires. that's quite different.

The Nismo has some performance advantages but for a daily driver they make little or no difference. I do find them to be hideously ugly and they scream Boy Racer/Fast & Furious wannabe driver inside. How old are you OP ?

I hear Priuses are nice

This always turns into a heated debate about trim. It's true, I could have saved a few $k in many different ways, like paying for base, or for older model, but I'm content with my car and in the end that's what matters. I've had two Zs in the past and I always wanted the NISMO, but convinced myself I could do better from scratch, which I did but I never failed to catch myself drooling over a NISMO.

Nothing better then the factory bodykit. All aftermarket bodykits need some extra work on it and if you don't do it right then it's called rice. And if you do get Amuse kit, make sure you figure out how to change oil first.:ugh2: Bottom line, if you like the Nismo look and not planning heavy mods on your car then you should get a Nismo.

No need to defend your choice, the Nismo is a great car with some great features!

Some love it, some don't, but at the end of the day you still have a Z with a limited production run, no shame in that. And like you said, whats added already is enough for you.

I got the modding bug still so it wouldn't have been a good choice for me

But I heard knock-offs had trouble fitting perfectly on the car?
