What a waste of a NICE car. The red painted calipers really enhance the look tho...

I say fake. Wheels, brakes, the Nismo logo in back is way off (which doesn't really mean anything). I did a VIN check and it didn't really say much. Either a fake or someone with more money than brains bought it. The current dealer bought it at auction.

Either way, somebody went to a lot of expense to bastardize a nice car.

Damn, someone ransacked that Nismo.

Can we tell if it's an actual Nismo from the VIN? They listed it in the post as the following:

I bet that's not an actual Nismo. Plate was probably found at a junkyard.

Please feel free to let me knowif you have any quetions
Thank you

I think because the headlights are from a 03-05, V1 front bumper, no Brembo's, no nismo wheels, no nismo wing, screwed up body panels and the seats are correct, the gauge cluster is a nismo (like $1000 to buy), nismo plate, nismo exhaust that the car is probably a theft recovery that someone put back together with random Z parts.
Or someone had a crashed nismo and kinda made that Z a nismo.

Yea i think either that happened ... or someone got in a little too deep couldn't make payments on it and before they repo'd it they stripped off all the goodies !! and the owner that bought it after that tried to salvage it best they could ... and it turned into ............ that lol

or maybe parts sold off for that "paint job" my 7yr old even says its ugly paint... or the "JDM" badging... then it would be a 380RS... one of 1000 and 400ps. american nismo is a rip off. even cost more than 380RS
