I understand the tunes are different to extract a bit more power. But, is this only because the Nismo has an improved exhaust that's less restrictive?

Are the cams any different? Valves any lighter?

Is any part of the VQ (VQHR) engine forged? Crank?

Thanks
Same engine. Different tune. Different exhaust. These give you about 17 additional hp. Nismo also has some extra suspension bits (dampers and such).
