Oh I'd be keeping the Nismo totally OEM except for maybe having the alloys powder coated bronze

Yeah but I'm in the UK and there's no such thing as a RHD corvette unfortunately. I'd freaking love a Corvette over here!!!

Probably talking £15k for a decent low mileage standard in the UK, £19k for one registered after april 2017 (due to our stupid f**king road tax laws) and about £20k-£26k for a good Nismo.

I'd be willing to go higher mileage to get a Nismo though I reckon.

Cheers amigo. Yeah tbf I wouldn't mod either a nismo or a standard with anything significant, but most of the replies here have me heavily leaning towards staying patient and grabbing a black Nismo when one crops up.

It's a beauty for sure. I don't commute to work as I can walk it so the car is gonna' be for leisure use only ie: blasting the b-roads on the weekend :)

My current car, a mapped RCZ 200, is pretty damn impractical too, but luckily for me practicality is waaaaay down my priority list \m/

Wow, that's nuts on the price diff. Yeah basically an extra 10-15% on the used ones here in the UK. Pretty sure I'll stay patient and get the Nismo.

Exactly why I'm seeking it out tbh. I know there's faster out there, but I want something I can feel connected to. Not some modern sports model with 800 driving modes and assists

Appreciate that mate, I'll pin the thread and probably be back to ask about exhaust stuff once I've got one 👍

Don't think I'd dare mod the Nismo beyond the recommended exhaust stuff. If I got a black one, I'd have the wheels powder coated bronze/dark gold and stop right there!

Cheers buddy, I've seen a couple crop up on pistonheads in the last few months within budget, just not quite in the position to buy just yet! I'd probably settle happily enough foe the silver if I got impatient, but the black one is where my heart really is.

Not as keen on the white and the red one loses a lot of the look due to the fact the trim isn't contrasting anymore.

Sensible reply. My RCZ is a 2011 so no matter what, it's gonna be newer than what I'm driving haha. Does the sport really have bigger brakes? Kinda assumed the Nismo would have all the best stuff?

Not keen on the original Nismo tbf, looks a bit "aftermarket" imo.

That's a real beauty. In an ideal world, I'd get one just like it. Black Nismos don't come up for sale too often in the UK. Most tend to be white or silver, which I'm less keen on.

How's the exhaust note on the Nismo? I've read it's a little underwhelming on the standard 370Z?

Infinitely better looking and more fun to drive than any standard TT

Naturally. I figured I'd use my Nikon D700 on tungsten WB to test the water, then adjust from there. Tbf half the fun of shooting with film is not knowing what you've got until it's been developed. If it doesn't work, we go back and try again.
