Car looks great, especially that livery, just disappointed on the rear end; I never like rear wings but it should at least have a spoiler with. It looks too empty, and it would add a degree of performance but looks great regardless, especially that carbon hood.

Thats Nicks old Z NISMO. His car for heavily vandalized and in essence totaled . Glad to see it is reborn for proper use!

 

[MCN1SMO]

very curious to see how the automatic holds up in competitive racing.

 

[MCN1SMO]

nevermind is not gonna be an OEM auto . I couldnt imagine it would be but the pics confused me

Guess I don't know the history of Nismo Nick's vandalism. Care to detail where and when? I park mine in the garage, but sometimes on the street when I'm wrenching on the other cars. What were they after, assume was parked on a driveway or street?

yeah I can relay what he has talked about. his car was at the dealership where he works overnight and a gang of car thieves hit a few dealerships .They wernt able to steal the car but they really messed up the inside and they cut the wiring harnesses to get to the seats and everything so that is what ended up totaling it. the car went to auction with a salvage title and chris forsberg bought it . Felt so bad for Nick as he poured so much time and $ into that car

Thanks for sharing.
I knew it happened and didn't know the details. Feel for NISMO Nick.

Love what Forsberg did here as a continuation of his car!

That's just wrong!! But so glad the Z lives on as the best it can be under Forsberg's talent, such a beautiful GT-Z4 build and livery. A showcase too for Nismo and aftermarket.

Gotta have Google Maps and some tunes!

 

[sdktheway]

Wondering about the surge tank used from Radium Engineering. Last I looked they didn't have anything for the new Z so I can only hope they'll be offering something soon.

I would guess they are going with a 6 speed sequential?

Nick? do you mean "Nismo Nick" from AZ? I hope not that guy has had some bad luck vandalism. I love his car. 1st and only Nismo I've rode in. It was like 650HP or 7 million HP. I hope whatever Nick this is he is in great spirits! Think i gotta call my guy now.
