Nismo parts

theDreamer

This is a two part thread/questions.

There are two Nismo names it seems, the Nismo that is being sold through Nissan as a full car and then the Nismo parts called S-Tune. How do I tell if I am getting the Nismo parts (if I am able to buy them) and not just the S-Tune parts? Besides different body kits are the other parts different, exhaust, springs, etc.?

I have read so far that the Nismo body kit will only be available to buy if you have a certain VIN, but what about the other Nismo parts. Wheels, intake, springs, etc., will these be able to be purchased by non-Nismo owners?

For my previous Nissans, one of the good parts of Nismo parts was I could order them from the dealer. In fact, if the dealer installed them, they were covered by the factory warranty, unlike aftermarket parts. Nissan saw the opportunity to capture some share and extra revenue by having their own "aftermarket" offerings.

The Nismo Z is really just a tarted-up Sport model with all the Nismo goodies. The theory is you can do this too, buying all the good stuff over the counter and building up your car. Nismo will gain cred as the Nismo versions get raced (mostly in Japan) and further developed under racing conditions. The Nismo cars are rolling billboards for their parts sales...

So I think the answer to your question is "yes" you should be able to order/install any of the Nismo parts as long as you have a car on which they will fit. Some parts, however, will be hard to get in the States, especially if they are illegal for road use in some jurisdictions. If you are racing, then all you need is a fat wallet.

Great info. But WHEN will we get to see what they're offering for the 370?? so far the only thing out there is the R-TUNED CAI.

That is one of my questions, is the R-tune intake the intake from the Nismo that is being sold by Nissan?

best bet is just ask ur dealership if they will install it for you.....just call them up....if they install it, chances are they warranty it also.....some dealerships even install Stillen Products and still under warranty.
