I wish the Nismo had the individual tire pressure readouts. I don't miss the leather, the Bose sound system, the heated seats, etc., but it would be nice to push that button and be able to scroll to the specific tire pressure numbers from the TPMS.

None of the Zs after 2006 have the individual pressure display anyway, so it's not really a Nismo vs. regular Z feature.

True but its a feature that should have been carried forward and never eliminated. I also miss that feature in my '03 Track edition.


The Bose would also have been nice. Not impressed with my car's sound system. I'd rather spend my cash on performance mods then display screens, amps, subs/cases, neons under the car, wiring in hookups for my I-pod touch and putting a PS3 in the car!!!! Those peeps make me sick.

You should be so lucky not to have the blose. It makes everything harder to upgrade. Even decent aftermarket speakers are better than stock or bose.

People make you sick that upgrade their stereo systems?

The Nismo is built for performance! I would much rather hear my car Rev then have it thump with some weight adding system!

Now if its a DD then I can understand upgrading the head and speakers! But for me its all about performance with the Z.

a few things i miss about my 03 track was the navi/maintenance reminders, and the bose stereo. i can hardly hear anything with my nismo stock stereo. I was alittle disappointed that nissan did not adapt a ipod interface/AUX option. Oh well, it's the best car i've owned so far.

I'd have to say I wish I had a little better front end clearance. The front sticks out a bit longer. But it's also why I love the Nismo, the body kit.

...had a '07 Roadster Touring; traded up for a new '08 Nismo...had that for 8 months and had an opportunity to trade even-up for a near-new '08 Roadster Touring...missed the more comfortable ride and Bose system of the Roadster and had upgraded the speakers front and rear on the Nismo...but I now miss the Nismo's handling and harsh ride too...but only when going 0-60 or so...miss the Rays and the feel that those tires gave...but; I really missed the comfort and pleasure of going topless...so I ultimately will stick with this last trade...and just continue to miss the Nismo as a limited ed. car I used to have...
