Nismo Air Inlet Piping

[Leroy Peterson]

im all for collecting weird/wonderful/rare car parts and accessories, but when I go into a Nissan dealership and see a display for Nismo clothing or flick through an options list for a 370Z or R35, theyre all just wank. Nismo has turned into basically how Ferrari keeps itself afloat: selling hats and sports jackets.

All the cool bits and pieces SAU carries on about are from yesteryear mainly, when well engineered parts and racing pedigree were more important than bling or ridiculous pricetags. I imagine someone in Nismo saw how much LMGT's are selling for and thought "hmmm wonder how much we could charge for a size that suits R35?"

I think you can draw the line at, that exhaust costs as much as a car.

not as much as the car it goes on so....

which cost the same as a Bugatti veyron titanium indicator.

[mr skidz]

im totally chucking my arp head studs in the bin and buying nissan ones in a nismo box. just let me sell a kidney first

your kidneys not worth shit unless it's nismo

[Hadouken]

Uh oh. So many hateful words from the nismo fanbois

[Anfanee]

A nice ti exhaust for a 32 is at least $2500...

% wise of the value of the car they are equal.

So I will say again. Just because his don't see value doesn't mean it's shit.

[GTSBoy]

You could pay for a TIG welding course and do a few hundred hours of practice for 50% of what it costs to buy that R35 exhaust, then buy some Ti and make one up yourself and still spend less in time and capital, arguably benefiting yourself a hell of a lot more than just buying the brand bling.

Or....you could buy or build something that was 10% of the bling and weighed 20% more and possibly get at least all the same performance benefit at 20% of the outlay.

[mr skidz]

Nismo fanboi's have displayed nothing but love and preaching respect to those who choose to use nismo?

but it is shit when it doesn't perform as good as a product that costs less than half.

nobody is doubting the build quality of the stuff.

but 21k is farking stupid for some robotically welded (low grade) titanium tube that would have cost nissan maybe 1000 bucks in material.

[HOOAH]

No offence but anfanee is delusional if he believes nismo is worth the money when all they do is rebadge other products.

Mate you bought a 33. Why didn't you spend thousands less and get a car that's faster?

Oh because you wanted a 33? Oh OK.

But because I don't see the value it's shit.

[Anfanee]

I'm just pointing out the logic tbh. Like I said just because you don't see value doesn't mean it's shit.

If you only look at "value" why did you buy a 33?

If you are only interested in increases why did you buy the heavy brother?

Why? Because you wanted one. But people don't sit there preaching that they are shit.

Off ye high horse and just accept everyone has different tastes and respect those tastes.

[r32-25t]

Actually at the moment the r33 is better value for money

[Anfanee]

I think y'all are missing the point I'm trying to make. Completely.

[GTofuS-T]

Let's get the real point here... why would you even buy a GT-R when you can get a GTS-T for a fifth of the cost?

[Anfanee]

Cause fanboys.

[Hadouken]

I cant afford a high horse,

I went with a pony for the savings.

And the 34 is heavier again btw

[Hadouken]

Cause fanbois.

[sneakey pete]

What have i done...?

I'm with the "buy parts that are good value camp".

Also, I liked how the 1700 buck nismo key became a 2000 buck nismo key after a few hours.

Apparently there is one on ebay for 330 bucks right now btw
