In the Land of the Rising Sun, the Nismo ALWAYS had the 7AT option...

Given the difference in price point, it probably would not have affected my own actions as a rat-race running consumer, but given how well the 7AT performs, I don't see why it shouldn't be (or, more to the point, "have already been") offered as an option, especially if the manufacturer already went through the trouble of building it...

Don't know why anyone is thinking that the next gen Z will be a 2015 MY. There's been no indication of that anywhere. Not long ago there was an interview linked by someone here in a thread in which the Nissan design chief said that the next gen Z was being designed, but it was clear from some of the design tradeoffs he talked about that the design was far from being finalized.

So IMO, given how long it takes to go through the various design/approval/testing phases for a new car model, the odds aren't even very good that the next gen Z will be available as a 2016 MY (but maybe/hopefully by the end of 2016 as a 2017 MY).

I'm just happy to be a Z brother. What should be my first mod? Oil cooler? Anything recommended?

I want to get a pair of Bride seats and a Borla/meisterchaft exhaust. That's something that's will be down in 3-6 months though.

Supermade, You sound like a young man with some class

. Don't lose focus on purchasing your house, so mod wisely and drive safely.

My idea of cost efficient modding is to decide what you will use the car for (track, 1/4 mile, autocross, daily driver) and mod accordingly.

Example, mine is a daily driver and I plan on keeping it for 5 years so I don't want to pour a lot of money into it but make it a little more comfortable and fun. Also I did not want to do anything to void Nissan' warranty and make it as attractive as possible for a future buyer, too many mods, may give the impression of abuse whether it was or not.

So my mods were simple and achieved my goals, RJM clutch pedal, tinted windows, dynamatting doors/hatch and an exhaust. No external mods as I think the 13 sport is a very nice looking car as is.

Don't think you'll need an oil cooler unless you're tracking and I'd go with the exhaust before seats. Congrats again and happy driving

There's no way I'll give up my seats with airbags for a daily driven car.
