Owners that will regularly track the Nismo, will likely add these components anyway along with other performance upgrades to make the car more competitive.
the Nismo 350z feels like they just came out..considering they came out during the last years of the 350z..the Nismo 370z comes out a couple months after the first years 370z..although the 350z and 370z are somewhat similar...that doesnt take away from the fact that each car still needs its own r&d..the oil cooler and diff cooler...sold in a bundle..should be relatively inexpensive..kinda like what the sport package is..its a $3000 option...but the goodies inside the sport package goodie bag are more expensive than $3000...adding an oil cooler, diff cooler, and torsen LSD would justify its price..IMO..I feel the release of this car was rushed...that doesnt take away from the fact that I absolutely love this car...I just wish it were perfect..with nothing breaking and such..whatever happened to all the over-engineered cars...
