who has one? and how do they "ride" / drive on the street ?

are they 100% track car or are they pretty nice - to drive on the street.

there are some good opinions here

http://www.gtrlife.c...ismo-questions/

but a quick answer is no its not a 100% track car. the overall driving feeling is the same as a standard GTR the biggest daily driver differences would be the harder suspension that trammels a bit on roads and the consideration of the rarity of the car as there is $60K worth of carbon fiber on the car and it would be a ordeal to replace

In my opinion, it is a great daily driver - certainly not a track-only vehicle.

I agree with this.

it all depends on what your definition of DD is:

20 mile commute that takes you 60 min in traffic? Hell no...

20 mile commute that takes you 10 min in a Nismo? Hell yes!

Personally, living in a very congested west burb of Chicago, there is no way I would DD a Nismo. I hardly DD my Premium.

WHY NOT dd..............
Put in auto , turn on the a/c ...........
That is for each to decide.........

 

[MC]

its not about the driving experience itself as its very similar in most aspects to the normal GTR and those are daily driven all the time. the only driving differences are the suspension and steering feel and those shouldnt affect daily driving too much. but the big thing to consider is about daily driving is where its parked at and commuted to. leaving the car out all day would be an issue for me. its more of a eye catcher or target car. the big carbon wing is just begging for someone to come by and lean on or pull down on or just all the exposed carbon. if you priced the replacement parts its on a whole different level of insane.

so the act of driving the car itself isnt a big deal as its not some track car with no radio A/C ect but with barely 100 cars in existence in the US and a scarcity of replacement parts that would be the main hang up not the driving part

Parts would really be a terrible problem if some backed into it.
Paranoid is one way of how it might feel.

From what I have heard each region has one of each Nismo carbon part on hand now. I drive mine at least once a week to work and I find places to hide it in the parking garage with a lot of room around it or where no one really sees it.

 

[R35 NISMO]

Has Nismo still been in full production for 2016 and any word for 2017?

 

[MC]

Production for 16 was about 90% of 15 by the rough numbers ive seen

No clue on 2017 but I've heard 3rd hand the NISMO isnt changing with the 17 as the update isnt focused on performance.But I can't substantiate that at all.

All details will be known early November

 

[R35 NISMO]

OK, Great thanks, at leased there still being made, still might have a chance of getting one. Been waiting a long time to spend my 185K

 

[gtr420]

Canada is getting 5....Call your dealer!

 

[R35 NISMO]

How do you know canada is getting 5 Head office doesn't even know yet

 

[gtr420]

Head office knows... was just decided this week....no price yet(185-200k cdn.) and only black, silver, and white were available for order....most likely 2016's...October production.
I gave a deposit and ordered silver. That's all I know.

 

[homesite]

Hopefully there is very low production on this.

420's right -- just got off the phone with my guy, and he said same. Only white, black & silver -- did say there was a possibility for red w/ gold flake, but that he won't know that for 2-3 weeks. Price is $179,900 Cdn but that includes the titanium exhaust! I asked him to repeat that, maybe I misheard him, but he said it again....it is included!

Silver Nismo looks very nice in real life! Didn't expect it to look that good.

You guys think Nismos with 2-3k miles will hold the same value in 5 years?

 

[SUPER.SILVER.STEFAN.]

I hope it holds its value
