I appreciate this pics, that is good to know in the event I decide to trailer it someplace.
I have a couple things helping me get it on the trailer, airbags and a short bumper.
I think the nismo bumpers stick out further than mine which means they are more likely to rub. And with airbags I can go higher than stock height. I think that a stock nismo would have clearance issues.
The ramps on the trailer were very short and steep so they aren't very low car friendly.
I actually used to have nismo springs so I can show the comparison between airbags and nismo springs. Ignore the bodywork changes, the top pictures is airbags all the way up, bottom is nismo springs

Down to two for now.....
And now that the silver '03 has the one garage somewhat by itself, it has shown me great displeasure at my parting with its friend by contracting the dreaded "exterior door handle no workee" syndrome and saying, "WTF, I'll show you!"
"Stop bishin', at least I put your favorite wheels back on, you ingrate!"
Then I closed the garage door. I'll drive the other cars for now.

Mistuh Sparco apparently knows my mindset pretty well!
Here's the thing.... I studied my silver car for a year, then put my sweat equity into making it the perfect handling car (for me and my driving), tuned it to make the kind of power I needed to complement the handling. (In addition, there are other personal attachments to it that give cause to say, "I'll never sell it.")
I bought the Nismo and it was suspension tuned so well that there wasn't anything I could do to out-think the Nismo suspension engineers AND because my initial plan was to keep it completely stock anyhow, I got a little, well, not bored with the car but "itchy" because there wasn't anything I could do to it to make it truly "my car", unlike the '03 and to some degree, the Shiro.
So figured I'd sell it now with low miles and in great condition; and take my loss.
My next car - which I'm waiting on now - won't be significantly different from the "good enough stock" aspect but I won't worry about hurting the car's value if I did want to, ahem, "personalize it".
