How do people with SE's feel about thier seats, is there only a material differance? or does the NIsmo have bigger bolsters??
If you haven't yet, you might test drive a NISMO CC auto... I think there are alot of converts on here, myself included. It's a really nice tranny. But if you can't stand it, at least you'll know!

I think that the auto is really nice. It hooks right up when you hit the gas and doesn't feel like you're losing a lot of power through the transmission. I didn't get a chance to try the 6 speed, but it's still very quick off the line w/ the auto.

The main option I wanted when looking was the 6 spd. Well, I saw my Nismo and drove it with the auto and was very impressed. Impressed so much that I gave up on looking for a 6spd. Besides, Autos are better for slow crawling offroad and towing, both of which I do alot of. I get to drive a 5spd. at work sometimes too so I still get my fun in!

no NISMO option

I wanted the 6-speed over the e-locker. Shocks and skid plates can be added. A mech locker can also be added if really needed.

Got the Nismo for the skids,shocks and utility bed....liked the chrome mirrors and handles,but my truck came with black
Wanted a 6 spd but could not find one....the auto. is nice,though.I have always liked manual trannys better,but I am impressed with the auto.It is very responsive.

I don't care for the wheels on the Nismo....I like the SE wheels better.
I DO like the door panels on the Nismo the best...Even though everyone says they look cheaper without cloth inserts,I like them because they will not stain,and will clean easy.
I use my truck for work and play,so practicality is key for me.

That's my story....hehe

yeah no kidding. I have the KC and by the time I have my tool boxes behind the seat, my box of straps(I haul a lot of stuff), my other box with chains and stuff that I need, and my turn out gear(fireman) it's full to the top of the seats.

i got the king cab SE 4x2 6spd
my main reason was the 6spd, second was price.

i really would like to upgrade the rear end, preferribly to a LSD.
I live in santa barbara and dont go off road that much, this is basically my Urban Assult Vehicle.

I went for the king cab becase I sat in the crew cab in the back and realized that its not that great of seating, people would assume that i had more space and could drive people around but would find it uncomfortable in the end.

I ordered a rolltop tonneu cover which will be here in a week, but for now I have a 2 seater due to too much photo s#!t in the back, 4x5 camera, tripods, 35mm equipment, backdrops, developing supplies, and tons and tons of office supplies...

The nismo is cool, and is the flagship of all the frontiers, i would like some of the stuff that came with the nismo (rear diff, maybe skidplates), but ive been a modder since before i can remeber so id rather upgrade things for myself
