Just flew down to San Diego to pick up this manual Nismo today.

Hope someone can answer this question: I was told that the 6mt Nismo doesn't come with a paper owner's manual. This seems really strange to me since it has the essentials package which includes a portfolio for a paper owner's manual. Is that right?

Just picked mine up too. Here is everything that comes with the essentials kit.

I'm home and found the manual underneath the seat. Funny how multiple people at the dealership absolutely insisted that Nissan didn't print MT Nismo owner's manuals because of the small number of cars.

It is amazing how little they know about the Z. My dealer parts guy had no idea about the oil filter that is specific to our cars.

Don't feel bad, my sales guy said that Nissan stopped supplying the owner manual cover / holder, that kind of sucks as mine came wrapped like a head of lettuce in a grocery store. Dumb things like that just piss you off.

/wave new owner here! Landed a deal on a 2025 Sport, 6mt/manual, with 2600 miles on it. Coming from daily'ing a ND3 Miata for more practicality, safety, and comfort in the seats since I'm 6'0.

I'm hoping to bring this thing alive with an exhaust. So quiet that it's too GT feeling off the bat but really liking it as an overall package so far!

I have a 2026 Sport in the exact same color. I'm very happy with mine so far. I added a Tomei Single exit titanium exhaust. Some peeps are super biased towards duals, but if you're indifferent and are looking for some added volume + the classic mid-2000s JDM titanium "howl", I think the Tomei checks this block the best. Lots of other options + downpipes if you're set on a dual setup.

Happy to see another gunmetal Sport in the mix

My wife and I have 1996 Z32, currently in the beauty shop getting a paint correction and some trim pieces touched up. It’s an NA, manual, LP2 paint code, with 107k miles. As mentioned, the car is in the shop, but will post more pictures when I get it back later this week. Can’t wait to see the polished color in the bright sun, such a cool color!

I Had a co-worker that leased a new turbo in’96 that color, love it!

You prob know. But two of the wheels are mounted incorrectly, left rear and (assuming right front) Nissan sculpted those to draw cooling air from under the car out over the brakes.
Keep the pics coming!

Thank you so much, I had no clue about the wheels. The brief backstory on this car, my father-in-law purchased it in 1998 with around 28 to 32,000 miles. My wife was 16 at the time and he always told her one day this will be her car. Unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year. He obviously didn’t drive the car too much as he only put on 75,000 miles in 28 years of ownership. I don’t think he knew much about Paint correction and probably took it through an every day automatic car wash. It desperately needed a paint correction and a little love on some trim pieces. The interior is an awesome condition, no cracks on the dashboard, no rips in the seats. The most unbelievable thing to me is, the Windshield appears to be original with the VIN number etched in the glass. The only aftermarket piece is a Sony CD player below the Bose tape player. From what I’ve looked up there were only around 80ish Z cars made in this color for 1996. I look forward to sharing more pictures, the car is going to look pretty darn sweet! We recently joined a desert Z club here in Arizona and hope to get it out to some shows. I had the timing belt done at a reputable shop here in Phoenix, Pitstop Performance, who did the timing belt service. Glad we did it, because it had never been done. The car was from Portland, Oregon, so the desert heat and sun wasn’t burning everything to a crisp like it does in the desert. More pictures to follow. Here are a couple other pictures from the shop I took it to. The blue Z32 makes over 1100 hp on the Dyno.

Car sounds amazing, glad it could stay in the family. Z32 has and will always be my favorite.
