Nismo version: how is it setup?

nepali · 03-16-2012, 10:24 AM

I apologize in advance if this has already been covered, but, I searched and couldn't find anything.

I was just wondering what all is done with the Nismo version to produce an extra 18HP and 6TQ? Just intake and exhaust?

The extra power comes from a different exhaust and tune.

Thank you. I figured it would be something simple. Man, that's a lot of extra $$$ for a simple mod. I think it has a better suspension also. Oh well!

Well the Nismo comes with more than just the extra HP over the standard coupe.
You get better body bracing, different suspension, completely revised aero and some Nismo accents in the interior.

I thought the NISMO had no additional bracing or chasis work done?

I believe it has a couple extra braces in the front, they did not spot weld it like they did with the 350z Nismo (I would have bought a Nismo if they had).

Yeah, it has a couple extra pieces, but nothing major.

Interesting, I never this.

Differences that I can think of now are:

Body kit
Wheels
Bracing (front and rear body dampers, reinforced strut bar)
Nismo shocks and springs
Thicker sways (not sure on this one)
Dual exhaust with H-Pipe config
ECU tune
Interior

Also, the RAYS wheels are specific to the Nismo.

Is the CF driveshaft Nismo-specific?

Ron · 03-16-2012, 02:29 PM

no

It also has a $1000 piece of plastic covering the oil pan. As apposed to the ~$100 one on the standard model.
