Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Ummmm, as I said before, I only like the wheels on the new nismo 370z, but the body kit is ugly Saying that, white is the best colour, cause I have it! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not a fan and too much of a premium. Prefer the look and sound of yours andy tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 I asked him if it sounded as good as mine and he said "of course"..................after a bit of a pause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne370Z Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) I don`t like the look of the Nismo. Think they`ve spoilt the looks of the car just for the sake of trying to make it look different/sportier and only having an extra 16bhp does not make it worthwhile being uglied up !! If it had an extra 50bhp and needed the extra body bits that`d be different. Do agree, though, it always has to be white, Edited August 17, 2013 by Wayne370Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I asked him if it sounded as good as mine and he said "of course"..................after a bit of a pause It would sound the same when you put the standard exhaust back on yours and then fit the berks on the Nismo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) It's not just the HP, increased torque, better suspension set up and the bodykit, which will be wanted by most future 370 owners, especially the wing. Then there'll be the way that this is delivered. I hear what you're assuming as a premium, but I spent £3k on my 370, that gave me a bit of sound (bearing in mind not many owners have heard the Nismo yet), around the same gains on HP and torque, through an Uprev and "performance" filters, then there was a few quid on suspension, that to be honest was harsh on UK roads and some mudguards, this all added up to be around the same price I paid new that you can get the Nismo version and mine still looked like a stock 370. Then there are the wheels, well there's already huge interest in them on here, with Octet actually buying a set. The offsets are bigger, may negate the need for spacers that a stock 370 requires to give it a better stance and the rear wheels are also wider. Gents, all the bodykits and "performance" mods, turbo or supercharger excepted, at HUGE cost, will not give you any more than a stock Nismo. Then there's the right to correctly display a Nimo badge and not a fleabay purchase. Also, Will, you naughty boy, the roadster came at a premium also over the coupe, and, I'll say it again, it doesn't even have a roof Edited August 17, 2013 by The G Man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Aye i pay more and get less metal lol. I get your point with the cost of mods etc and a body kit taking it up to the same cost as the nismo but the nismo bodykit doesnt do it for me, just a matter of prefernce. Also the jismo is very quiet. Now if it had the amuse kit and a fruity exhaust then that would be a different story. But i acknowledge ive not seen one in the flesh so may pop down to the dealer just to see. Edited August 17, 2013 by Will370z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I e mailed Amuse direct and got ZMANALEX on the case re an Amuse, still waiting!! (not ZMAN's fault, we both came up against the same "firewalls"), no replicas, only originals please ' For a Zed, read Nismo as spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Nope, I think, depending on your requirements, ie rear/forward sensors, 34.8k is the best you will do, trust me on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 http://www.nengun.co...estito-aero-kit That's my point £2.5k without fitting or paint, but it would be tempting, now Mrs G has had a drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
