A New version of the Nismo ?

kenchan · 05-16-2014, 10:22 PM

how was the suspension. is it firm like the 14 nismo? or was it softened up? which tires does it run, the new s001?

The fact that the seats hit the headliner is a no-no for me... I'd want those seats if they could adjust them though

I got some real time with the car today, so If anyone has any specific questions let me know and I will try to answer them

Is the front Nissan emblem embedded in the front bumper like the current Z'z? Or is it just sitting on the bumper like the 370z emblem on the rear?

Honestly im shocked. I do not like one thing about redone 15 nismo. In my opinion the 14 and prior nismo were both waaaay nicer. This new version just destroys the lines and has zero flow. Puke. Awful. Gross

Looks great. Just wish Nissan could have pulled a play out of the porsche handbook. (gt3 rs 4.0) like they did with the 380rs z33...

@MC since the rear end ratio has been changed what kind of performance increase can we expect?

Any increase in aero efficiency?

Any changes not stated in the press release?

Seriously no way anyone in their right mind thinks that looks great. The old one was is gorgeous. The new one has terrible wheels and a juke body kit. Just because its new doesnt mean you have to think its awesome when its clearly the biggest fail since Nissan discontinued the Z after the 300zx in the first place.

My first impression was I wondered why did they go with a duckbill style high lip instead of a actual wing like the NISMOs in the past. but as I kept looking at the car more it dawned on me that the more open front fascia gets away from the beak look of the prior nismo. That look really required a wing to balance the rear but the new design gives the appearance the car looks shorter and more stout so the rear lip sort of works. One detail you might not notice in the pics is the lip spoiler has a raised ridge at the top more of a design queue at the top but they said it was for a little little bit extra downforce. its a pretty cool detail put it almost looks like it needs to have the red strip on it

the front is indeed supposed to be more efficent. the two lower red areas remind me sort of like whats on the 458 ( although they dont flex and thus arnt as functional from that standpoint) but the design is supposed to channel air better working with the upper lip that reminded me as an evolution of what they tried to implement with the S-Tune bumper. The rear as i mentioned in the above post went to a lip spoiler instead of a wing. the wing has an additional raised area

one thing I will point out regarding air flow is the vents under the LEDs are fake they are an aesthetic choice and instead of mesh they are a solid plastic piece with a mesh type imprint on the plastic

not sure about the ratio. I didnt read the press release until I got home so I was just going by what was coming up in conversation. but speaking of performance I was told the Auto is quicker than the Manual and that the choice to go with an AT option aswell as NAV was from feedback and wanting to broaden the audience of the NISMO verison

Why do the seats touch the roof? Can they be adjusted lower? That's weird. Are they going to fix that for production models?

Article says there is a shorter final drive. Can anyone at Fontana confirm any one speed in any one gear at any one rpm and we can figure it out.

The JUKE RS ones ( very similar to these except the RS actually have higher thigh bolsters and feel more like a bucket seat) are about 4K each. i expect these to be similar

they are both in essence a OEM version of the Recaro sportster CS you could buy the generic ones much cheaper if that was what you were after

the perfect seat would be a mixture of both...I like the color scheme of the Z better and the design of the Juke RS ones slightly better because the bolsters
