Nismo Badging on a Nismo Conversion?

If I still had them sure! But I don't : (

A Nismo is a series of overpriced parts... who cares??? do what you want. Nobody will be saying 10 years from now that the Nismo was any better than sport pkg base/touring cars. Intake,hfc exhaust and tune on a reg Z will net you a 50hp. for $2600. $1200 in suspension parts will kill all that makes a nismo suspension anything worth talking about.

The body kit is the only truely nice thing about a Nismo, but it's more rare to have a Amuse or Fujimura kit...

Do what you want. Nismo has no value over time over any other Z, unless badges really become that meaningful in this country over time???

I have a G37 IPL and I get offended by non IPL owners putting an IPL badges on their cars. I am sure I would feel the same about a Nismo. If you wanted a Nismo why didn't you just buy it in the first place instead of playing make believe?

cause he wanted all the options the nismo cant have like heated seats, nav option, etc.

Then he didn't want a Nismo in the first place end of story.

Not true at all. I wanted all the luxuary features with amenities just like the one straight from Japan. If you do a search on the JDM Nismo 370z, they even have a front 180 camera as an option.




I just decided to convert a Fully loaded Sport/Touring/Nav one to Nismo rather than to spend my first 3 years driving in a bare minimal standard features as my daily driver.

I've actually researched a lot to see what separated the Nismo trim from all the other Base/Sport Models and how much I would have to spend in both situations, created BOM of parts I need to order, etc.

Turns out most of the Performance related stuff even if I have gotten a NISMO 370z, I would have thrown most those things out and have upgraded it. (I.E. Suspension -> KW V3, Sways -> Whiteline, Exhaust, etc, etc)

Back in 2008 when I first saw the 370z in the car show room floor. I fell in love with the Alcantara/Leather seats with the integrated Climate Control to the nav. I'm not trying to talk down about the Nismo but the Nismo they sold here lacked all of those features.

I am here just to correct an error, the Nismo in the US is a POS version of what everyone else gets.
In other countries you get all the options of the other models, nav, leather, heat, etc. if you want in a Nismo.

Carry on....

I did a full Nismo conversion and I installed an eBay Nismo emblem! But I don't give a DAMN what others think about that, it's my car and it looks sick. LOL
