2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO - General Discussion

[CodeRedR51]

Hmm.

"A special global NISMO debut will be made this Friday, May 16 at 1 p.m. ET at ZDAYZ in Fontana Village, NC, USA"

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Hmmmm. Nismo is self admittedly more of a marketing brand than a performance brand, but this could be good.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

I will be there for the debut!

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I can't wait. I hope they'll make a Nismo variant of all their cars.

 

[Badasp5.0]

So it will be more of a slight upgrade with a massive price?

The Juke NISMO RS wasnt "that" much more than the regular NISMO. I will be surprised if its much over 50K which would be a $7K premium over the standard NISMO. I could be wrong though but we will know much more tomorrow

cant wait to see it in person

Hmmmm. Nismo is self admittedly more of a marketing brand than a performance brand, but this could be good.

thats been sort of true in the past at least with the american variants. I had a NISMO 350Z and for the most part( excluding the japanese unicorn cars) NISMO has been a bodykit wheels and exhaust. The new NISMO GTR obviously broke that mold

I expect this Z to have better suspension some badly needed upgraded seats hopefully inline with the wonderful ones in the Juke NISMO RS. Power who knows. I would hope an additional 20-25+ but who knows whats been tweaked in that department. the big rumor is the Z35 will go to a 4 cylinder turbo. it would be a major change if there is something new under the hood instead of a massaged VQ


by the way you guys remember the 380RS NISMO Z from japan?

Did you take that photo?

No I'm not there yet but a lot of people arrived today. I'm heading up first thing In the morning

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oh, wanted to see if you got a chance to hear it.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

The exhaust in that pic looks almost identical the the standard NISMO exhaust so it will be interesting to see if its much different

Wow, what the hell happened to them? They used to be cool.

I still think they're cool...

It looks like a the Nismo Sentra concept.

Too bad it wasn't made cause I wanted it more so than my regular sentra

Nah, headlight is different. And the car under the cover that MC posted is definitely not a Sentra.

I wouldn't count it out just yet.

Well last time I talked to the guys at Nissan they didn't seem so sure of it, or the supposed Altima Nismo I heard about. But you work for Nissan, so maybe you can let us in on something...

And lose my job.

I'm just saying, I don't know what's going on with the project, but don't count it out just yet.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

And lose my job.

I'm just saying, I don't know what's going on with the project, but don't count it out just yet.

Now you know I wouldn't want a fellow resident to lose their job. That aint me man. Hints though, hints everywhere but I'll take that as a hint.

 

[CodeRedR51]

To be honest I think the NISMO cars are all developed at the new NISMO headquarters in Japan, so I'll never even lay eyes on anything until everyone else has.

 

[RocZX]

I was talking about the the general design of the body kit (what we can of it)
The front has the same red bar, vent and led bar light. And the side skirt is exactly the same. It looks different then one on the Juke and GT-R.

Yeah I know that now, I think you missed my post acknowledging that two posts up...

 

[CodeRedR51]

No RS, just a refresh on the standard NISMO.

LEDs Yo

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Well, at least it looks better than the previous one.

 

[Sage Ages]

What was wrong with the old one?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I'm not a big fan of the Z to begin with so...it's meh for me

Rather see them be creative and do the Nimso Sentra and Altima along with a production of the juke gtr but I guess dreams are for bed time.
