I'm 6'5" and I fit nicely in the Nismo buckets. I know this thread is a little older, but to answer the original question... the Nismo Recaros are substantially more bolstered than the Performance. Well, the driver's seat is. The passenger seat has the same seat bottom as the Performance. I've...

The sensor should turn off in the rain, yes? That's how it's functioned in other cars I've owned that have this feature.

This is more or less what I'm building, except im about doubling the horsepower and shedding around 400lb.

Eh, that means nothing. The tires on my 24 Nismo Z were in the wear bars before 4,000 miles. But, those Dunlops were road trash when they were new, problem solved with a proper set of Michelins. And no, most higher end performance cars use staggered tire sizes. Pedestrian grade grocery getters...

In my opinion, the only selling point to the Z is that it's a driver's dance partner on the track. Lovely car to drive well. If you look at it like a generic consumer, it's overpriced, a bit behind on tech stack, and your $70,000 Nismo has less in it than most $40k cars in terms of usability...

Weight savings is one thing, but the windshield is higher than the center of gravity... so weight reduction there does compounded effects on stability and traction because the car's not weighted as high. Case in point, the Dodge Demon 170 can run an 8.9s quarter mile with the CF wheels, one...

To be fair, I think the glass on the Z is bad. Mine is, anyway. If you look at it with just the right angle, you can see thousands of micro bubbles in the windshield glass. I don't normally see this sort of thing on cars until they're 10, 15 years old? Mine sat for over 400 days inside a...

Windshields are considered wear items like wiper blades and brake pads.

Well, what you guys are missing is that if the heat exchanger were bad, the car's performance would be abysmal, long before the thing let the turbos go molten red and overheat the engine. If your charge air gets too hot, the car will pull timing and you'd be down on power to the point where...

In short, you just tell the mechanic what the state of the car was before you dropped it off at the other shop, and a complete list of what was done. That will let him troubleshoot better. But, if the car's clearly not building power as it should, it should be throwing codes or there's a major...

I believe I got it on eBay from one of their certified stores there. Used PayPal.

Yeah, they're very well done. Completely 100% accurate. They're quite expensive... north of $300 USD new.

I'm not sure, as when I found it, I was searching "white Nismo Z." This one is the right hand drive Japanese version.

I got this a while back... 500 limited Fairlady Z Nismo scale resin model by Samurai. 1/18 scale

Yeah, the stereo in the Z is an offense to common sensibility. I'm one of those people who dropped in a very high end stereo into the Z. I wanted a high end audiophile's wet dream of a system, so that's what I did with a total Focal replacement for all speakers, added a couple bass pods and...

Kraft Nissan in Tallahassee has/had it. They tried to sell it to me last week when I got my oil changed. It's a pretty paint color, but I didn't buy the car for the paint. The car isn't listed on their website presently. I don't know if it ever was.

6800 miles here, error free.

The dealership I got mine from has one of those purple Heritage MTs. It looks nice,

I'm in the US. I imported the UTE and had Left Hand UTEs in Denver convert it to left hand drive.

That's because in years past, there wasn't such a thing as a performance auto. They were called slush boxes, granny trannies. Years ago, the manual was the performance winner, plus it gave more driving enjoyment. The problem with that statement of yours is today, DTCs and performance automatics...
