Wow, that looks really good. Much better than stock, I must say.
What are you lowered on?
Oh and pics of the NISMO with the modena would be appreciated. Or is that a stradale?

Hope you don't mind me posting, but here is that review I asked for in the other thread.

First the Evo X and Evo 6 has swift lowering springs and the Evo 8 has a pair of HKS cams and stock suspension. Between the Evo X and the Evo 8 and Evo 6 the Evo X hands down is the most potent vehicle. Although the Evo 6 also has AYC but the Super AYC on the Evo X function much much more superior and therefore I am able to push the car harder and faster through turns. On the other hand the Evo 8 without the AYC was slower through the turns. Straight line speed is comparable.
Between the Nismo and the Evo X at Buttonwillow the Evo X is clearly faster through the slow and medium speed turns. Especially through the sweeper the Evo X can get on the gas much earlier. On a track like the Big Willow Springs the Nismo is the winner between the X. On a high speed track the Nismo exhibits very stable handling. On turn 2 at Big Willow the Nismo is understeering a bit but manageable.
Between the Nismo and Ferrari at Big Willow, they are both similar. I was reluctant to drive the Ferrari 10/10 because it was too expensive to crash such a car. But the Ferrari save some time at the front straight but overall at the turns it was slower mostly due to the tires and scaled back driving.
All in all, I think with a well driven Nismo it can hang with Evo and Sti and even other faster cars. In the end it all comes down to the driver.
