Default Nismo S-Tune

Recently had some interest in the Nismo S-Tune parts so I did a bit of searching around and found some cool stuff that I didn't catch before. Also found better pictures of their parts online.

Here's some links for you guys to check out:

Notes:
-Found out that the oil cap is ratcheting to prevent over tightening; I thought that was a pretty cool idea!
-Body brace set looks pretty cool. I believe the red and black one is the trunk bar.

Nice! The Nismo wheels look better in those pictures than any I have seen to date, especially the rears. Too bad they aren't as wide and the 370Z Nismo wheels (or my Volks for that matter) though.

I like the look a lot... just not the giant wing/door step looking extrusions on the front and rear lips. That is the breaking point for me.

Yes, is for non-Nismo which includes what you see in the initial thread pics.

All of their products are sorely overpriced...

The Nismo kit is available from Nissan directly but very expensive. I recently looked into the cost of the wing and MSRP was somewhere around $3k. It adds up easily, especially since it's not sold as a kit. Every nut, bolt, clip, etc needs to be purchased individually.

This S-Tune kit came out in Japan before the Nismo version I believe.

Looked all over the net and couldn't find any details about it. Even looked at some diagrams of the Z34 and couldn't figure it out. Maybe someone can chime in.

The S-tune kit did release prior to the Nismo factory release.

The red and black bar goes inside the interior trim and does not replace the "OEM aluminum bar".

when you consider that these s-tune parts are prepainted, the price is actually fairly reasonable.

I was looking at the side skirts recently and with my Z club discount they aren't too bad. And you don't have to wait to get them painted.
