Yeah. NISMO - Nissan Motorsport. Just don't use it for motorsport.

I get the impression that you didn't order this car in April? If so, how exactly did you manage that?

Spec -v ! long way off probably ,anyway just goes to show that at least there are loads of bits for the 35 already if you want to go down that road .
Whats a Z tune 34 got do do with anything anyway ,that was very LTD to 25 cars or something I thought ,hardly a fair comparison .

Well we've all spent enough time discussing the GT-R ordering process to know that the only true orders were those entered into the system after 2 April 2008. Has Ben's UK GT-R been in his signature all this time?

OK. Fair enough. I'm just a bit paranoid at the moment because I met somebody recently who claimed that they "managed to jump the queue". I'm waiting with interest to see if they get a car before me.

the nismo exhaust looks like the standard one just made in titanium beside the tips ? so no performance gains apart the weight?

It's too expensive. Another tuner will release equivalent or better items for less than half the price, as the past has shown.

nismo is not three times or even twice as good as mine's so why do they think they can get away with charging such an outrageous sum of money? especially for the seats which are rebadged recaros.

if nismo want to be taken seriously as a street car modifier rather than just a race track tuner then they should be charging a lot less than ruf do for porsche or amg for mercedes. afterall, it's just a nissan.

spending more than 50%-60% of the total value of the car on such minor mods is a mugs game.

Nismo pricing just gets better and better. Now I feel like I am getting a great deal with the R34 parts! LOL!
