Is Nismo Really Worth It?

No, gains not worth the money.

base with sport package vs. nismo boils down to looks really. If you like the look of the nismo then it is worth it to you. I personally hate the look of the nismo and wouldnt be caught dead in it.

Exactly,People hate on what they can't have

Stop hating on people who know what they are talking about and realize that things arent worth the money. Everyone likes Nissan here, the 370z people WILL modify. There is no use in paying over 10k more for simple crap that you can get for half the money just because its Nismo.

The fact is most people who want a Nismo want it cuz of the looks and will modify it anyways. Its just a TOTAL waste of cash. Any moron could own a base Z....if you dont realize that you dont belong on the forum go hang out with the rest of your teen friends whos mommy/daddy pay for their cars.

You GTFO out of here with your 4,000 some posts. 14.7 posts per day? You either have a considerable amount of valuable information to share (unlikely) or are just a postwhore. I never asked how much you spent on your vehicle or what vehicle you will be purchasing in the future. My earlier post must have made you feel insecure about your financial well being. What angers me is you told me I don't belong on the forum and to hang out with my teen friends. Well for your information I have children older than teenagers and I served for this country likely longer than you've even lived. Why don't you get off this message board for a couple hours each day (I know, it will be tough) and do something with your life.

Plus, aftermarket suspension isn't tuned to work with all the other parts like Autech does with the NISMO. That is why my NISMO still kicks 350z's with coilovers and race suspension setups at the road courses.

I learned a long time ago from experience that I'm never going to add a bodykit or exterior parts to my car as I will never be happy with the fit and finish. I went with the nismo because the body kit is oem fit and aftermarket aggressive. So that's just a check off my mod list, no body kit needed. The rims are the same. So now just engine, stereo, interior. Tada.

But I don't know if OP is gonna want to mod.

I said I was going to be.

Also the MAIN reason people go base + sport is because the LSD. (Limited Slip Differential)

It is way more than worth it to go ahead and get the base+sport for the LSD,
there will be no need to replace it, the gearing ratio is much better than stock
and is still a good DD ratio. On the other hand if you are going to try and break
a land speed record you would want something with a much lower gearing ratio.

WTF are you talking about...the gear-ratios and final-drive is the same in every 6MT or 7AT, Sport package or not.

I dont know whats funnier - him being a post-whore or you finding his post per day... either time well spent... probably less well spent than the time i put into this comment...

TurboDreamZ · 10-08-2009, 04:35 PM

I thought for sure the gearing was different in the LS differential.
Learn something new everyday.

But my point is still true, sport package has LSD and revmatch says the web
site, I thought they all had revmatch?

If ur gonna go body kit your best bet is repaint custom color not color match. That's the broke road. And as for oem. Ur mostly right. But there a lot of good body specialists out there that are excellent at bonding body kits into cars and making them look natural to the car. It just takes a lot of time and research. The bodykit will be the one one thing that will take the most time in finding the right specialist for the job other than going aspirated.

So if one was to get a body-kit, their best bet is to repaint the entire car? Wow...interesting logic, there.

Perhaps some people aren't interested in rendering their brand new car a POS by re-painting it? Nah...they must be broke since they can't afford the $12-15K to properly re-spray a car, since anything less than that would just be ghetto road.

Anyone who willingly repaints a brand new car is a retard.

Agreed there is absolutely no reason to paint a new car.
