Everyone reading this, I’m sure, is having the same thought about the Nissan Z Nismo: "I told you so." A year on sale was long enough; Nissan finally transplanted the Z’s well-known six-speed manual into its highest-performing trim. And it completely changes the experience.
Nissan didn’t just put the six-speed in the Nismo, though; it also gave the car a solid raft of improvements—two-piece front brake rotors lifted from the early R35 GT-R, retuned steering and suspension, and a short shifter. It all lives alongside the Nismo’s already standard upgrades.
