was looking around for a 350 in my area in ran into this, can anyone explain why a enthusiast has has nismo tagged on the hood, hatch and such? also, there's no buttons on the steering wheel, doesn't that mean its a base model?

i really dont think thats a nismo model. check out the nismo forum and youll see what it should have.

 

It's just some stickers someone put on the car.

 

Is that even an Enthusiast? It doesn't have Cruise Control nor Radio buttons on the wheel.

 

yea i knew it wasn't a nismo from the body, and not a enthusiast from the wheel. was just checking to see wtf was going on. ty

 

be careful with those, bro. There's been an epidemic of wrongly advertised Z's for sale in my area as well with the same set up (nismo stickers) when they were really a base.

Also, I've seen on used Z's like my 06, the "popular" parts have been whored out, like my tail lights are the older version's and my wheels were 17's when I know the 06's had 18's... (I've gotten aftermarket wheels since then.) But because I noticed those (again, thanks to reading alot on this site before buying) I was able to haggle the price down.

 

Some people put 'model upgrade' badging on their car because it is cheaper, less painful, and easier to get a job than having ***-hat tattooed on their forehead

 

Well i dont see them claiming its a nismo, so no worry there, its just a sticker.

However it also isnt an enthusiast, its definitely a base

 

The owner is related to Simann?

 

That Nismo sticker on the back looks hideous....It's a base as well, not enthusiast as the ad states. If you go for this one, its a good negotiating point.

 

Get rid of the rims...

 

I think you are correct sir. Looks like just stickers to me....

 

base w/ stickers... dealers don't know wtf they're selling...

 

its funny how dealers no nothing about what there selling. i wasn't even gonna attempt to try to buy it anyways, glad i asked tho. seen it and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask

 

Because someone stuck them on. Is that the correct answer?

 

yeah not a nismo or enthusiast

 

lol @ the huge nismo decal

 

Ebay FTL

 

Funny.

 

My car isn't really a nismo either it just has some nismo parts and called it a nismo s tune. I got this car at a dealership and it was sold as touring package. I wish I got that nismo front bumper that would of been sweet.

Anyways that nismo sticker is huge.
