It was a golden Sunday in LA, we went to Supercar Sunday where we saw golden cars, I met up with a friend and subscriber I met on Instagram with a Nismo 370Z and we went to the canyons to do some golden driving where I finally drove the Nismo. Spoiler Alert, it is a completely different car from the standard 370Z.

370z nismo owner here, after driving both it’s definitely worth the extra money. Not only for the extra power and better suspension but the beauty of the exterior as well. Not to mention the recaro seats and rays nismo wheels already make up the price difference used. So everything else is a bonus. Not to mention resale value and the exclusivity of driving a nismo and not just a base model with a nismo body kit

ProDrift 86 what if this dude idea is to fully built this car for show and racing purposes. I would take that base model any day for upgrading, 2 carbon fiber racing seats, the panels will have to go and put some racing type with strap handles.

Sorry but you are wrong. I have a 2014 sport model and have driven the 2015 Nismo. There isn't much of a difference. My car with KW suspension, Tomei exhaust and intake is faster than a Nismo. Corners better as well. The Nismo is nothing more than a bodykit/exhaust/tune. Those Recaro seats? They aren't real Recaro Sportsers. Only the top half. The bottom cushion is still an OEM 370z seat. I have real Recaro Sportsters in my car and there is a big difference in holding capacity. There is no "exclusivity" with a Nismo 370z. They aren't a limited production run like the Nismo 350z was. They don't come with a seam welded chassis like the Nismo 350z did. They aren't a full blown raw feeling track car like the Nismo 350z was. It's way too watered down and civil to be a Nismo.

ProDrift 86 Salty? Lol I don't think so. Just stating facts. If you don't believe me go on the forums and see what thousands of owners say when comparing the two models. Also mine isn't a base model. It's a touring sport. With upgrades that puts a nismo to shame.

The Nismo definitely felt special compared to the regular sport Zs I test drove. It also felt quicker in the mid RPM range, most likely due to the lower final gear, lightweight wheels and 18hp extra. However, the looks, seats,suspension and exhaust sound is what really made it feel special. It felt like 80-90% of the Lambo that I drove once, and it's only a fraction of the price. Plus it has other track ready additions, such as track pads, high temp brake fluid and stiffer brake lines.

open diff on the base is not good for any kind of spirited driving. that being said, if you are going to mod the car starting with the base model and "upgrading" or modding with the parts you like, def start with the base model. Otherwise you are paying extra for parts that you are going to take off...

Sway bar, shocks/springs, body kit, seats, various aesthetic changes, badging, exhaust, wheels and tune. Amongst others, but what you're feeling mostly is suspension differences, it's much stiffer.. I did a 100% NISMO conversino with all NISMO parts, there are changes - they aren't huge but they are there. Although I don't have an official NISMO, it's quite hard to tell mine apart. That being said I went with the 2013-2014 gunmetal rays and the larger style nismo spoiler, much nicer imhp.

The (almost) $20k price diff is tough to accept............until you test drive one then the other. Did that recently and made the Nismo purchase for me a no-brainer. But will be buying a 2019, low mileage Nismo for about $33K, so a BIG chunk of the $20K price diff is eliminated.

the 09-14 nismo is noticeably more rigid than the base, making it perfect for track use out of the box (just get an oil cooler). the 15+ nismo went away from that and i'd argue is not worth the extra $$$. However, if you're gonna mod your Z, get the base sport. Comes with the big brake kit standard. It's also worth noting the non-nismo has lower insurance costs.
@GrayFox370
@GrayFox370 6 жыл бұрын
Not to mention you can add in your own exhaust, KW suspension and tune on a base model and make it faster than a Nismo. These aren't like the old limited production Nismo 350z's which came with a seam welded chassis and were full blown track cars. The Nismo 370z is way too soft especially the 2015+ models. Also IMO the 09-14 Nismo's looked way better with that body kit and wheels.

I've heard more prior 350z nismo owners who now own a 370z Nismo say it was an upgrade than those who thinks otherwise , hence them upgrading from 350z nismo to 370z nismo. I'm NOT speaking for you but most people who say the 350z is better is because they can't afford the 370z or they like its "bodylines" better.
