After many years of job switching, financial BS and downright bad luck - I are back. Finally got another Z, to replace the long gone pearl white nismo that I had to sell against my desire.

This time.. this time I’m keeping it. I’m modding it. I’m tracking it. Writing about it. Going back to what I longed. Shifting, driving, puckering while driving in the rain...

I missed this place. How y’all been?

Welcome back! Those are great reasons for buying a car. This may or may not interest you, here is a friend’s Nismo.

Recently put some louvres on it. Doesn’t affect visibility nearly as much as I thought it would.

I really need to get better pictures of it. Driving it changed the way I felt about these cars, they really are underestimated.

Those are my thoughts as well, both in pictures and how underrated they are. Sure they might not have a massive v8, but they’re a gem in their own right!

What is the difference between the regular 370 and the nismo? I quite liked the 370z I rented on Turo once. But it sure would have been amazeballs with more power/better handling if it’s a significant difference.

Hashtag Manuel?

While the difference in parts and stats isn’t ground breaking like a Z51 vs. Z06, it’s still noticeable. In my opinion, it changes the character of the vehicle.

HP bump from 333 to 350, Nismo tuned suspension/intake/exhaust, extra aero bits which shine above 100mph. Definitely a funner ride, doesn’t feel as moot.

Precisely! This model of nismo was made Manuel only, the new ones are auto too so I wanted to stick to the manuel-only version
