Looking for experienced input on purchase of new Z (Performance v NISMO)

What we need here is empathy. Respect opinions and enjoy these forums. The RZ34 'old school' platform is a great base for whatever mods each personally likes, done!!

Wow. Just wow, put down the handbags and stop swinging them at each-other.

I’ll make one point that seems to be missed here:
Selling original stock Nismo parts to someone that has a less expensive RZ34. Are they the ‘Best of the Best’ parts out there? No. But better some cases than what came stock on a Sport or Performance.

Not the 9sp AT, though. With the 6sp MT Nismo coming out, anyone serious about upgrading would buy a manual.

Seats- Maybe someone younger wants ‘Nismo Recaros’
LSD- obviously
Exhaust - probably
Bigger Akebono calipers- Yeah you may change more than just pads on a Nismo.
Rotors - Maybe the Nismo owner now wants 2-part
Suspension parts, Nismo branded wheels

I could probably find more vale if you went ape-shit upgrading a stock Nismo. Some would strip it down to save weight & rolling mass. (Total Weight & rolling mass being different- but I digress)

Prob not economical for a race shop to sell these parts on eBay- they might give them away- but maybe. And any of us ‘lesser mortals’ would certainly take a shot at recouping our mod costs.
Believe me, Nismo parts are in demand to young” street racers”

Sure we spend retail in most cases- But has the difference narrowed somewhat?

Get a performance MT, add coilovers to get the right suspension feel, and you're good to go IMO
