You've got to be kidding...the stock car already looks like a fish and that Nismo kit now adds "lips" to complete the look! Seriously.

 

The US Sales Education material was just released to dealers. And the NISMO package is listed as a "model" (base, touring, NISMO). There are already these 370z's in Japan and they don't have the graphics...but the graphics aren't the worst part. That body kit is absolutely horrible. Sad thing is that if this is a factory option then there won't be any contest in B Stock SOLO, you have to have the NISMO, and I don't want to drive that ugly POS, but I want to get a 370z for SOLO.

Sigh...I hope it's a dealer installed option and not a true factory option/model. That way it won't be legal in B Stock and I won't have to drive that ugly *** kitted car.

 

That is the S-TUNE package. The NISMO which a few in my club that went to JAPAN and saw the REAL NISMO looks nothing like the S-TUNE in those pictures.

There is a NISMO coming, but it's not the car you showed us.

 

Meh... I'll wait for the real Nismo edition...

 

some people are just too thick headed to listen, it's not even worth explaining

And for a link detailing the US Sales information:

Nissan USA Marketing/Sales information

(see page 7)

And for a pic of a JDM S-Tune (or NISMO, whatever they end up calling it):



Some things we can see from the above information:

S-Tune/NISMO body kit is ugly
Suspension/Bracing kit should be good stuff
It's being called both "NISMO" in the education material and S-Tune everywhere else

Some things we can't tell:

Is this going to be a factory option?
Is this going to be a port side install?
Is this going to be a dealer install?

Some odd things about the above information:

Its being both referenced as a dealer install (almost everywhere) and a factory model (in the marketing PDF).
Marketing PDF says it will have NISMO branded Tach (that's what leads me to believe this would be a factory option).

 

The kit is too gnarly...whatever happened to designs with smooth clean lines and no funky protrusions?

That is the ugliest car ive seen come off nissans lot in a while.. Epic FAIL!

 

ok, you need to STOP. The s-tune nismo Z IS NOT what the actuall nismo edition 370Z is going to be, or look like.

your just one big bucket of FAIL, so:

 

i love the 370 but that looks like ****.

 

Solo, I just want clarification. You know a guy that traveled to Japan and saw a different Z than what is here and told you about it. This was before the S-Tune was revealed if I remember correctly. It's a bit of a stretch for me to consider this solid evidence and since there has been zero mention of the S-Tune being available here, it is my assumption at this point in time that the S-Tune IS the one that is going to be released towards the end of this year (around sept-oct) as the USDM NISMO or S-Tune. The only thing I would hold out for at this point is the possibility of a V8 Z, which doesn't seem to be in the cards at all, so there is no point in me waiting for a track car with minimal upgrades.

If you know or can provide anything other than this third party info, please do Solo. While I believe you 100% that you know a guy that went and saw a Z, something about the timing and no mention of the S-Tune here, and mention of a NISMO being later released here seems a bit lost.

 

^ wow, you actually came to your senses and realized their not making a V8 powered Z and I would half way expect you of all people to know everything about the NISMO 370Z and not have to ask someone else

 

Yes about 10 or so people were invited personally to go. I was also but couldn't due to work. They went into Autech factory and they were designing the new 370z NISMO already. They could not give me detail on exactly the way it looked, but they said it's nothing like those pictures and it looks a lot better. No it was after the S-Tune was revealed.

 

It looks like what a Nismo 370Z would look like IMHO. Simple suspension upgrades, different skirts, wing, some decals, no engine tweaks, etc.....Is this really a surprise? An unfavorable opinon on the regular Z34 aesthetically would surely guarantee a disapproval of the Nismo version. My point is, all this isn't really surprising. Regardless of whether we like the Z34 or not, time will come when we'll all accept the fact that it will outperform our Z33s. I'm not sure about everyone else, but performance plays a more prominent role in my book.

 

Terrible. Standard 370Z looks much better.

 

Hehe. I never thought they WOULD actually. It just remained a justifiable possibility from a market perspective (re-read my posts and you'll realize that I never said they were going to, just that it would make sense to from certain perspectives). People are always flying off the handle here, not actually reading what you typed. They see V8 Z and call you a heretic, regardless of what you are actually talking about. For me, it was an obvious possiblity, confirmed by Nissan to have been an idea that they even thought was worth tossing around, so I was not off at all by calling it justifiable. Even in my posts when this was a hot topic I said it was unlikely. Thanks though for trying to bait me then and now. I get some kind of weird internetz jollyz off of it. See you 'round Racer.

 

Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure it's only a matter before something surfaces. Likely it'll go onsale in Japan first and give us a couple months advance to see it. What remains to be seen is when it will be revealed and whether it will be worth it to wait/trade.
