All that means is that the car is either made with more robust parts and/or has been tuned so it can be raced out-of-the-box. It is given "a" foundation that can be put on the track. It does not mean that it IS a race car that can survive all the rigors of the sport itself or the track without additional extensions being added or made to the car. And I'm sorry I don't see the oil cooler as being considered a "foundation" part. You will find that there are a slew of additional coolers that end up being added to a car that is raced and there is NO MANUFACTURER that is going to make that part of the foundation without somehow passing on the cost of those additional coolers to the person buying the Nismo which will end up putting the car out of range for purchase.

A race car isn't just dragged from track to track and expected to handle each track's UNIQUE character without some kind of physical adjustment being made or added to the car's configuration to make it more suitable for that particular track it is to be raced on. Therefore Nissan manufactures the Nismo as a flagship race design foundation car for those who wish to race it. It is entirely up to you and your pockets to have the money to invest into the car to allow you to have multiple configurations based on the individual types of tracks you intend to race the car upon.

So folks here either have to fully understand, accept and be willing to be constantly reaching into their own pockets all the time OR in the alternative try EARNING themselves a sponsor. And good luck on the sponsor one because NO SPONSOR in their right mind is going to even offer anyone anything unless they demonstrate a willingness and have the propensity to move beyond the infantile fantasies of being a "weekend wannabe".

Racing and RACE CARS are truly packed full with lots of science and physics that some folks here have no apparent comprehension or slightest awareness about. And Nissan isn't going to do nor pay for your education, homework, training or configurations that are needed...but what they do give you is a car with a reasonably good foundation and fair price to begin making your fantasies real.

And one other thing...people here have to f*ck the warranty excuses and rationale. The warranty is on the car and NOT for the buyer's intentions on how the car will be used. It is THAT SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND but apparently far more difficult for alot of people here to accept.
