Jbrougham Posted September 5, 2016 Author Posted September 5, 2016 Big Smile Well guys and girls, back home with the Nismo and what a car!! She definatly looks 10 times better in the flesh than in a pic. Needs a bit of TLC and detailing but not a mark on her. Drives a lot better and more 'refined' than I was expecting. Okay you get some road noise but with the tyres fitted I would expect that. They do attract more attention from the public than expected, but doesn't it make you smile?? Gearbox is not clunky but it will take a bit getting used too and I do like the synchro. One issue I found, not discovered on the road test, is the brake judder above 80. So looks like the front discs maybe warped??, will try and claim on the 3 month dealer warranty but I guess they will say ' wear and tear', any recommendations? I can fit. The car has only done 12K miles...... If I need to replace what brake pads are recommeded to change at the same time ? If you don't mind a couple of questions to all you Nismo specialists out there. Is there a button to mute the radio? Or just hit the down arrow on the steering wheel? There is a rattle from the rear hatch inside cover when attached to the rear window any fix? The dash round gauge reads 80 deg on the motorway but the LED display shows one below the centre , that okay? Thanks again, great support and lovely messages from the forum Jim Quote
