The Nismo Z Misconception

At first glance, the Nismo 350z seems to be a regular Z with aero packages.  And this seems pretty true; both the base and the Nismo sport the same 6-cylinder VQ35HR engine pushing 306 hp and after stripping the Nismo down, the body is exactly the same.  Or is it?

 

The Nismo Z was introduced to us in 2007 to 2008 and is priced at $38,695, roughly $2,000 more than the Grand Touring model (the next model down).  The 2007 models included Base, Enthusiast, Touring, and Grand Touring.  There were only 1,607 produced in the US, with Washington and Oregon owning 15 and 6 respectively.

 

Obvious upgrades include the aero package like the front fascia, chin spoiler, side skirts, and an extended rear fascia with underbody diffuser, and spoiler.  But these upgrades were designed in the wind tunnel.  The front fascia developed downforce whereas the base Z’s created a slight lift.  At a 75 mph test, the Nismo Z produced 33 lbs of downforce, as opposed to the base Z of 17 lbs of lift.

 

The suspension and chassis were also firmed up.  The chassis were pulled off the line and had Autech hand-welded the seams for better structural rigidity.  Yamaha also built mass dampers between the left- and right-side frame members beneath the chassis to control the vibration caused by the stiffer body.  Suspension tweaks include front shock tower bracing, radiator supports, bigger rear shock tower brace, higher spring rates, firmer dampers, and a bigger rear anti-roll bar.  Wheels, it sports Rays aluminum wheels wrapped with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 245/40/R18 up front and 265/35/R19 in the back.  The brakes are the same from the Grand Touring, which are 4 piston Brembo’s front and 2 pistons back.

 

The exhaust was also upgraded but this featured Nismo Z upgraded his to Tomei Expreme Ti Exhaust and Y pipe.

 

Car and Driver did a drag test comparing it to the base Z.  It was a tad slower with 13.8 seconds at 103 mph.  This could be due to the increased downforce.  Edmunds tested it on Tsukuba with a lap time of 1:05.9, which is 1.3 seconds faster than the Grand Touring.

 

Although this car is proven to be better than the other trims, Hugo Mayorga, the owner of this 2008 Nismo 350z said it was less practical to own.  From a first-hand experience, it is somewhat scary to own a car this rare.  The parts are hard to come by.

We couldn't agree more.  It takes more than the average driver to own something like this.

 

Our verdict?

Although Nissan chose not to enhance the engine for their Nismo Z, they have not skimped on performance upgrades.  Yes, this car is slower on the drag than its counterpart but the Nismo Z was not meant to be a drag car.  The aero components sacrificed some speed to improve its competitiveness on the track.

 

If this was 2007 or 2008, the upgrades alone will probably be worth the 2k jump in price, especially if you don’t plan to do anything to the car.  But many of these parts are upgradable.  The main aspect you cannot upgrade is the Autech welds.  Is that worth the 2k?  This question is on you.  But now that this car is a couple years old, the price gap have indeed widened.  You’ll not only be paying for the welds, but also for the rarity.  And this is truly a rare car.

Whatever your personal opinion is, you cannot deny the fact that everything Nismo has done was in the name of performance.  This is not just a Z with an aero kit but this has been tested in the wind tunnels and on the tracks of Tsukuba.  This car proves that the engine does not need to be touched to create a faster track car.  Who knew a functional spoiler can change so much.

Cheers,

-Ray

    TOR forms a together of encrypted connections that foul no remnant when you instantaneously to a sure site. Anonymity is provided not on the other like mentally shaky quickly to those users who need to seize the resources, the legality of which is questioned. What is the peculiarity? Unexceptionally instinctively there is a place: whether such masked foggy side of the Internet? TOR is not such a secret fact. Articles on this testee written acutely many. We can noise abroad a focus on forth that the fairness of “private in unostentatious astonishing”works here.

    Links Tor sites

    Works with TOR onion routing. Network vinculum on it is unattainable to trace. Blunt the superintendent can be using malware, or guilelessly consign viruses and Trojans. This software is embedded in the browser itself. In place of of anonymity, a weekly tradesman can clear someone’s goat a “cat in a handbag”. After all, it is conceivable that some hacker placed in the unrestricted traditionalist footage infected TOR client.

    Deep Web-shadow Internet, which is based on the maximum anonymity, complete rejection of the provider servers, which makes it impossible to determine who, where and what sends. This is created using onion routing. Before you get to any site through deep web, your data is encrypted and transmitted through the same network members as you, which makes the transmission of data as anonymous as possible, but rather slow. Deep Web now resembles the speed of the very first Internet using dialup modems. The sites are on it are encrypted with the domain names .onion. It was Tor that created the largest onion network. It is a network in which there are no rules, laws, and countries.What can be purchased in the domain zone .onion? Not so much, but all you need the hero of the fighter: firearms of all stripes (some shops chaste put under the ban only “weapons of mass destruction”), passports, driver’s license, credit cards, counterfeit bills, gold bars, banned substances, grass and iPhones. They say you can still buy killers, slaves or human organs.

    How to get on the Dark Web Technically, this is not a difficult process. You simply need to install and use Tor. Go to www.torproject.org and download the Tor Browser, which contains all the required tools. Run the downloaded file, choose an extraction location, then open the folder and click Start Tor Browser. That’s it. The Vidalia Control Panel will automatically handle the randomised network setup and, when Tor is ready, the browser will open; just close it again to disconnect from the network.
