Aesthetics are subjective, so I'll leave it to each individual.

You're paying for the Nismo logo, the dealer markup, and, maybe some other fluff.

The same wheel is basically available from Rays directly with some color and detail differences, in whatever size you want, with whatever add-on (Center caps, valve stems, etc) you want.

Track people will want to downgrade to 18's and perhaps a lighter or more fungible wheel package.

Show people will be upgrading to custom 3pcs

This is, I suppose, a cute package for people that don't modify their car?

But so is the Z34 as far as comparisons go yet folks buy them.

Central20 does some wild stuff. I love the badge on the spoiler though. I am very tempted but the new TypeR has my attention and would make more sense for me given i am not wanting to part ways with my Z.

NISMO Z Prototype Spied Testing?

i think more than a new bumper would be ideal

get some wider fenders in there too

the Nismo GTR has i believe 20mm wider fenders or thereabouts, plus basically some TE/CE variants

Too bad ‘ideal’ and ‘realistic’ are very different things. I think we’d all be shocked if the Nismo Z ended up with a wider body kit and TE/CE variants. I’m just hoping for a bumper redesign that isn’t overstyled, maybe something like the V1 370z Nismo.

If you look at the proto Z that was showcased in the Tokyo Auto Salon I think that is a very good indication of what the Nismo could look like with the fender flares, diffuser and everything shown. They’re probably only using the bumper to test it’s cooling capabilities.

agree... missed that more muscular look from the 370z. wider fenders and wheels would be ideal. Also tune the motor to work with 91 octane fuel as 93 octane isn't available in some states.

So far the performance and look is good, but not great.

The regular z already has optional Gram Lights so I don’t think some forged wheels are asking much

Rays already makes 370Z wheels and GT-R wheels so the relationship is there

Speaking of which

This is a long shot but for anyone that’s sat in the Z at an exhibit - is there any change in headroom? I’m guessing not since the interiors are so similar but that’s the one thing that might tempt me to switch platforms

I don't even think the Supra and Z should be compared anymore. It's clear the Supra is in another class. More modern, more power, more tech. 400whp stock

...jebus.
455ish crank hp . Wtf, they advertise it has 380crank hp lmao

They said that Toyota down plays the power of the supra. Man I didn't realize there was this much a difference between the 2.
And nissan should of made the engine a closed deck at least. Kinda of disappointed.
Z still looks good.

I'll be in my bunk!

Watching savagegeese video about the 400z vs the bmw supra, I c why the supra is more expensive. They mentioned the supra is a closed deck whereas the Nissan is open deck.

I'll be in my bunk!
