never knew this!! no 370z tho

They have stiffed up the nismo. I found it noticeably different in a good way. The car was very stable on corners with very little roll but it was not uncomfortable on the country roads and bumps. It was the best step forward with the car IMO Spot on will. I am not 100% on this but I think there is also a bigger brake set up on the nismo? Anyway the car is much more direct and less roll

can't make it chaps and chapettes. will be in Menorca

YES... look at my profile pick. Japanese lucky cat! ps.. I like cats Ahh.... ... I thought surely it will melt and who will see it ? ... On the cats i will be maybe a window sticker... used to be on the bumper of my 350 - always good to be difference... isn't it?

YES... look at my profile pick. Japanese lucky cat! ps.. I like cats.. not in a weird way James

anyone who is considering this... BUY IT - its a lovely sounding exhaust...

few small plans... 1. change the nissan badges for black Z. (currently in my shed) 2. visit maybe rt-performance to see if they can wrap/paint the doorhandles black. 3. POSSIBLE exhaust upgrade later in the year 4. POSSIBLE 10mm spacers but doubtful I will do this as I don't want to change the cars geometry at all as I love the set up. 5. POSSIBLE rear window and side rear tints. 6. 100% some form of cat sticker on the car.

lol

All, As promised - I am adding a couple of the same pics in here so we have one thread on Nismo's for people.. Day 3 - the car is getting even better! I have owned a HR 313 for just over 3 years and only ever test drove a standard 370. I had always thought the 313 would be hard to beat as it is a great enthusiasts car, shaking gearstick, lurchy nature, raw NA power... and so on! but the Nismo is in a new league. the handling is the main difference, the grip is VASTLY improved over the 350 and what I can remember of the standard 370, and it's even running BS Potenzas and not MPSS!! so I can't wait to get through my first set of tyres to get the MPSS on as it will be grippy as hell. Whereas in my 350 I loved the drive, I always felt I couldn't get as much out the car as I wanted around a bend... the Nismo has resolved that, absolutely love driving the winding roads near me now! (cotswolds is only 35 mins away).. the power in the Nismo is also improved, I have never driven an 'up-rev' 313 HR so cannot compare, but the delivery of power in the NISMO is very smooth and very progressive which is nice.... you can notice the extra horses under the hood (getting american now.... man). Overall I absolutely love the car and anyone that is considering a move into the NISMO area, go and test drive one. You may feel underwhelmed on a test drive but that will most likely be because you're not willing to push the car a little to see what it can do. one small gripe is the exhaust.... which is easily rectified. I am leaving the NISMO on for a while and if I decide to swap it then it will be kept so I can put it back to standard as and when I want. ps.... the real reason I bought the car .... is it's arse and whale of a rear spoiler.

Who dis?

Yes and love every second of it - ride a harley 883 iron which has been remapped and has short shot exhaust. It's my first bike and one bit of advice - don't rush through your lessons and be 1111110% sure you're confident riding. Good luck and enjoy

I didn't know you had bought a 370!!! I have been looking for the thread on it but no luck!!

Didn't know that they weren't all leather. I am not a fair judge though as I owned a 350z and bought that instead of a 370z which I only test drove once, and didn't drive too enthusiastically. But from what I remember on the 79 and having owned a 350 HR, it's a new league. Sipar can comment between a 370 and a 370N better than I can .

Nope but I actually prefer the cloth over the leather I had in my 350, I obviously would prefer leather brides or recaros but compared to the standard leather I would spec these. I hope you all can drive one at some point as you will be surprised as how much of a development they are. I will try and get to some more shows this year. Ps- I already have the black badges waiting to be put on when I get chance

Get stuffed Ekona Lovely car mate. What's your initial impressions of the exhaust? What exhaust... It's silent!!! For an exhaust with cans that big, it's crazy quiet. Let's see how it warms up

All, what can I say about the nismo.... Apart from what an improvement over the 350, I'm surprised at how much better it feels for me. I know others don't share the opinion and I was a big fan of the shaking gear stick, and the jumpy nature of the 350... But the nismo feels like a new league. The handling is very impressive and the smooth delivery of power is nice!!!! In my first 10 minutes of having the car I got my first smile and wave from a random which is always nice!!.. I will update the nismo section with some select pics... But for everyone that has been waiting ... Here's a few for you . And yes, black is hard to keep clean!!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I cannot believe the improvement. The handling, the directness of the car is amazing.. Within 10 miles of having it I got my first smile and wave from a random!! All I can say is what a beast! HOWEVER, It is pouring with rain so it's tucked up until tomorrow until the sun is out and I will get some snaps up!!! WOOOOOOOOOO from number #399 in the world apparently!

if in vegas and then off to florida... WHY THE FUNK ARE YOU ON THE FORUM... unless you're clearly having a terrible time!

When I used to work as an instructor for a track day company there were many a car I would drive.... and! I would suggest that you get a used ariel atom for pure driving fun!!!! shame about the lack of boot and roof!! edit: and the lack of everything else!! haha

call nissan and ask the question? see what theyt can do for you

neither... too old!

These won't no. But I do have a set of 370 dampers, although I haven't been able to find a 370 owner willing to try them! price?

i assume these wont fit a 370z?

whaaaa! thanks for all the info chaps. we already have a half day booked for horse riding, also planning on snorkeling and the blue lagoon. I am also going to look into one of the volcano trips!!

new ones need as much deposit as you're willing to pay I believe. surely they would just need to finance more of the car for you.
