Default Crowdsourced 370z

Similarly, the Crowdsourced 370z - converted from a sport version 370z to a Nismo Body kit didn't badge it with anything, not even the 370z on the left side.




Does it look kinda empty without any badges?

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.

Like I tell the G37 guys that put Skyline badging on their cars.................We don't live in Japan.

Then next, you didn't want a Nismo because you would have thrown the performance parts out, once again you didn't REALLY want a Nismo.

Why does this thread even exist?

Would I put Nismo badging on my Sport because I wanted the auto instead of the 6mt? No, not even if I went to all the effort to make it a Nismo wannabe.

Wow, you're a pretty closed minded person. If I did really wanted a Nismo and actually bought one, I would still throw out all those performance parts as I would want to upgrade to better ones. It doesn't mean I didn't want a Nismo version. People mod their Nismo 370z with the same mods I have on my car ALL THE TIME.

You're not making any sense anymore. Did I get an AUTO? It's like IF I did started off with a NISMO 370z and started putting all the Touring Package stuff back in (because it wasn't offered) then are you saying I never wanted a Nismo 370z to begin with? What I really want is a Touring + Nav and not a NISMO? - That makes no sense at all.

I wanted both the Nismo body kit and the Touring package, in the end of it, regardless of which car I would have started with, it's the same result.

Honestly OP, I wouldn't do it... There are to many badges and emblems on the Nismo Z as it is. I debadged mine, so if you really want it I'll sale it to you, lol.

hi scruffy- i think the nismo is more of an all driving car, not a daily driver type...meaning, bare minimum convenience things and light as possible. i would not have been surprised if they released a stripped version like the s2k CR with a/c and basic stereo as an option.

your goal is to have all the luxury of the touring and the nismo styling. it's one of a kind.

mr. gurney converted his 40th to nismo body kit with nismo wheels. looks fantastic. very original.

now going back to the nismo badge... that's completely up to you.

Maybe I will take it. The back of my Altima could use dressing up.
