Getting my new 07/08ish NISMO next week in southern california and wanted to ask some advice on things I should check in the NISMO before I drive off the lot and shortly afterwards: (I'll start)

Before
Ensure I am getting any NISMO freebies I can get
Check to make sure the suspension plastic spacers are removed

After
Clear Bra
Protection polish



Anything else?

 

Make sure you get your COA from Nissan for your Nismo.

I remember MC posting that there's something on the suspension that need to be removed. It's sort of a clip thing. I'll see if I can find it.

Good luck with gettng any freebies! I went back two days later to order floormats for my Nismo.

Welcome aboard! Enjoy the ride.

 

You pretty much have it covered. The freebies I would aim for are Nismo floormats and a Nismo license frame. If you can't get the Nismo mats for free, I'd buy something aftermarket as the quality isn't very good to begin with.

 

what is "protection polish"?????? markup from dealer???

 

Pure $$$ marketing. I used to be a manager for Mitsubishi and Toyota. Trust me, if you're getting an '07, I would shoot for the NISMO floor mats, since they are not standard options for the 2007 MY run. If it's an '08 MY, I would try to get the best possible price, then try to get them to give free oil-changes, or gap insurance and the like. remember, it doesn't hurt to ask.
