    As a NISMO man, I have to admit this isn't really a true NISMO Car. Just like the appearance and minor sport packages you could buy for the R34 GT-R, Unless you opt for a true S-Tune/R-Tune car, you're not getting something made in house in Omori. This is NISMO stuff added on as an afterthought in the standard factory, and it essentially just looks the bunch, but really doesn't have it's Unibody pop riveted, stiffened, a stroked block, a perfect weight setup, etc etc. This is just one of those silly Visual specials, like an EVO with an FQ400 bodykit, and a mild exhaust.


    Real bodykit or not, all you're getting is essentially the standard 370Z Z34. And at 40,000 for some little NISMO stuff, I'm not willing to fork out the cash for it all.

    Just wait for the STILLEN parts to come out... Their exhaust system that is currently available is excellent.

    Sounds about typical of what I have come to expect from Nismo. Nothing exceptionally exciting... just a name... alllll over the place...


    I do wish the replacement floor mats for my BMW were that cheap though...

    I've never figured out if the price of these NISMO deals would be better than adding those little bits and pieces myself. And believe me, I'm quite the aficionado of floor mats, trunk liners, and kick plates.

    @John Krewson: I usually skip the whole passenger floor mat thing and put mirrors in the passenger foot well instead. They're a bitch to clean, but the view can be quite nice.

    @John Krewson: Well, in addition to the parts and labor, there is definitely a premium for the NISMO brand name. It's like that for all premium vehicles. For instance, Lexus is a cash cow, but normal Toyota vehicles have thin margins.

    that's an attractive price. Now, we need to see some other colors. Silver adds to the catfish appearance.

    @ThreeLitre: Just timing.


    I'm usually in the middle of meetings and conference calls during the day, so when it gets to a point in the meeting that doesn't usually involve me, I screw around on Jalopnik. It has the added benefit of making it look like I am really taking notes and making records of what's going on.

    @pauljones: I didn't mean anything by it, you just seemed to be especially prolific in general today!


    I actually do the same thing on conference calls :)


    Although I usually tend to zone out when it just gets boring and not just when the conversation doesn't apply to me. Unfortunately, the two scenarios definitely don't seem to be mutually exclusive.


    Yay for desk jobs?

    I, like you, find my tastes running to the old-fashioned Italian idea that sports cars ought to have flowing, graceful, almost feminine lines.
