but then again they also cribbed some GTR suspension arms or something too so who knows how different it all is
Agree on not being the best available option for this car’s race purpose and budget. I suppose Nissan NA is footing part of the bill and wants to showcase Nissan related parts as much as possible.

I actually found it even more telling that Nismo diff cover was used instead of Z1’s own.
