Default Rocket Bunny Nismo

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ws...742280063.html

Above is a link with a rather interesting nismo with low miles and low price. If I weren't deployed at the moment I think I would at least check it out. What are your opinions on it?

Maybe with a patina, something along the lines of a "mad max" roughed up look and a machine gun strapped to it would complete it.

I recall back in the 70's, lots of people ran around with primer painted cars. Didn't understand the attraction then and 40-some years later, still don't. Oh wait, it's not primer? It's "matte finish Plastidip"? Oh, excuse my confusion.

But OK, this alleged "Nismo" should fetch at least $18-20k in stock form with those miles; so at least it's priced down, reflecting the downgrades. Oh, did I say that out loud? Oooops.

Simply my opinion and nothing against the OP nor the seller but the car is too 'busy' and has too many things pulling on it in opposite directions...

for example:
It's a nismo (for what it's worth) why did you put a rocket bunny kit on it?
It's design is more performance / track based so why do you have massive wheels and a stereo setup in it?
I'm assuming it came with nismo seats? so why swap the sparcos in there?

I appreciate he had the wherewithal to put decent mods AND get a tune!!! I wonder what the thing puts down?

15k isnt bad at all (if you ask me) part out the dumb mods and have a nice setup ...

If it was a clean title/not wrecked. I would have a hard time justifying cutting up perfectly good fenders and quarters on a Nismo to install one of these kits.

it says the title is clean? did you mean if it was salvaged out? And - you never know what you're gonna find under the kit to make the car normal. When I initially saw this I thought 'young owner with lots of money and lacking maturity/common sense' ...

I say that more of a poke at myself as I took a perfectly fine Z33 Touring and gutted it!! lol!! where the smarter thing would have been find a salvaged Z33 and hack-away at it!

I was referring to me cutting up a perfectly good Nismo without it at least being wrecked/salvage titled. Its not like there's thousands of these cars made. Now that I've thought about it he still looks to have a big gap in the wheel wells. Every kit I've ever seen installed they cut the **** out of the fenders and quarters to make room for the wheels.
