Will Nissan ever sell an turnkey Nismo edition? I wonder!

Anyone notice the 19" Nismo LMGT4s on the Nismo model? Maybe Nismo USA will officially sell them here through dealerships now, and Performance Nissan can sell them at a better price than the other current store sellers.

Exactly what I stated at the begining of the post.... let's keep our fingers crossed.

What's up Tamir, I have to agree those '06 led's look sick hopefully they will be released by late October, not sure though...Keep checking out these forums and hopefully you'll find out.

Peace

also not big fan of the led tail light.. what'up with the pattern? doesn't look right..
I was thinking the same thing... I do like LED lights but its a funky non symetrical pattern... It reminds me of a rash or bad pimples with that pattern.

I disagree. If the options were offered turnkey, then you would have to pay for parts that are unused. Take for example the CAT Back pipes, when you buy them as spare parts, you still have to hold on to your original pipes...if they were offered as a factory option, then Nissan wouldn't make both sets and you would save something.

Yeah, lets deduct the cost of all the good parts we have to toss first, then add the cost of nismo parts, and dont forget about the labor costs you save!!!

I don't think so. The offset is basically the same. I'm no expert though. I do know those are my tire sizes & I do not notice increased under steer, just better bite. I push it through the turns the same as before.

A few more pictures that we didn't use. By the way while we have the Z pictures, we don't have the details necessary to answer your questions.

Thanks Dave, these look like they are from the Stillen meet. This color seems far lighter than the one shown in the "official pictures".

Do you know which one is the new "Silver Alloy"?

Good catch. The weather was overcast when I took the pictures at Stillen Day and that may be the reason for the difference.

The photo of the full shot was probably color corrected and the one from Stillen was not. You can see a lot of megenta in the Stillen photo. That normally would be taken out which would in turn make the car look lighter. Just an fyi.

Eh, it's all minor stuff...and I too don't see the Z33 lasting till '09 either.

The one thing that really stuned me was that all 6MT models will received the 300 hp engine package. That also means your loosing out on all that tourqe. No thanks!!

Nissan is doing great things, but they really puzzle me sometimes.

I'm not happy with the purple looking so similar to the Brickyard.

It's a great color but I can't help but wonder how much it will take away from the Brickyard's rarity.

Why the drop in torque? I see similar results with the upcoming Lexus IS350 around 300+ horses, but around 260 lb ft of torque ?? Same engine displacement with higher hp and lower torque that orginal z33 motor.
