Nissan @ Sema - Press Release
I just got this from Nissan, I should say they sent it to me earlier but I was out. I uploaded two incredibly huge high res images as well. They will be posting 30 more tomorrow on the Nissan website. This covers all Nissan products @ Sema.
I know news of this has been posted already, but those images were scared with web domain crap, these are not.
Here is the full release as was emailed from Nissan:
for super high res of these two shots... go here : http://www.jmanz.com/nismo/
> For Immediate Release
>
> Nissan Displays Modified 350Z Sports Cars and
> Other Performance Products at 2002 SEMA Show
>
> - NISMO 350Z, as well as Other Vehicles Modified by Nissan and
> Aftermarket Partners, Make Major Presence -
>
> LAS VEGAS (Nov. 4, 2002) - Nissan today announced that a wide range of
> specially tuned Nissan vehicles, including a mix of trucks (Xterra,
> Frontier, and Pathfinder) and performance-oriented vehicles (Altima,
> SE-R Spec-V and 350Z*) will debut at the 2002 SEMA Show at the Las
> Vegas Convention Center. The show runs November 5th through the 8th.
> The centerpiece of the display at the Nissan booth (Booth #33933,
> South Hall, Upper Level) will be a pair of 2003 350Z* coupes modified
> by NISMO, the premiere supplier of high-performance aftermarket parts
> and accessories for Nissan vehicles in Japan. NISMO, which takes its
> name from NISsan MOtorsports, will begin offering manufacturer-backed
> performance parts for Nissan and Infiniti products in spring 2003.
> NISMO originated in Japan in 1984. In North America, NISMO branded parts
> will cover three areas - NISMO Performance Parts, designed for Nissan
> vehicles; Infiniti R-Spec performance parts designed for Infiniti
> vehicles; and NISMO racing parts designed for off-road/race-track use.
> NISMO also will offer performance parts for current and previous model
> Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including the Z*, Sentra SE-R and the
> Infiniti G35 sport coupe and sport sedan.
> "Nissan continues to take major steps in developing its aftermarket
> presence," said Jed Connelly, senior vice president, sales and marketing,
> Nissan North America, Inc. "The nine vehicles we're showing at SEMA take
> the aftermarket to another level with the innovation and excitement that
> only Nissan can provide."
>
> THE LIST:
> NISMO 350Z(tm) Concept Cars
> NISMO has created a pair of NISMO 350Z(tm) concept cars, both fully
> modified with numerous pieces from the company's growing aftermarket
> performance parts arsenal. Adding to the Z's already stellar performance
> is the NISMO Weldina stainless cat-back exhaust system, which increases
> horsepower to 295 and torque to 280. An S-tune air filter element,
> air-to-oil engine cooler, power steering oil cooler, lightweight flywheel,
> copper mix clutch disc, clutch cover and plate-type mechanical
> limited-slip differential (LSD) were installed to aid performance and
> drivability. The NISMO 350Z(tm) modifications also include the S-tune
> suspension, which features coil springs, shocks and sway bars to enhance
> handling and road-course durability. The Zs, shown in Silverstone and
> LeMans Sunset exterior colors, also feature the NISMO aero kit, which
> includes a modified front fascia, side skirts and rear spoiler. Rounding
> out the package are NISMO LM GT-4 road wheels with Yokohama tires.
>
> Stillen Altima
> Taking hold of the award-winning Altima, Stillen adds a large
> selection of its own performance and appearance enhancing parts,
> turning the Altima from a hot sedan to a blown out street machine.
> For performance, Stillen adds a high-flow intake system, race pipe,
> rear section exhaust and dual stainless steel slash-cut reverse cone
> tips. Stillen also tweaked the suspension for more handling prowess,
> including a rear sway bar and an Eibach Pro Series lowering kit. For
> a distinctive appearance, Stillen adds a front touring spoiler, side
> rockers, rear corners, touring wing and a Speed Grille from Street
> Scene Grille. Performance Paint & Body ensures this Altima gets plenty
> of attention with a custom Candy Green Pearl paint job. Rounding out
> the new look are Yokohama tires and Forte' Cyber wheels.
>
> CalMini Xterra
> The CalMini Xterra is a fully loaded, go-anywhere off-road machine.
> CalMini has enhanced Xterra's off-road ability with a three-inch lift
> system with sway bar disconnects, 32-inch mud terrain tires on Eagle
> alloy custom wheels, HD steering system, front winch bumper with Warn
> 9,000-lb. winch, tubular safari roof rack with four PIAA driving
> lights, rocker panel skid rails, full under chassis skid plating,
> heavy duty gas tank skid plate, rear axle truss/skid plate and
> limited-slip front differential. For performance, the CalMini has
> added high-flow air intake and exhaust systems and a 3.92:1 transfer
> case gear reduction kit, which lowers stock gearing by 94% (this is
> the only one at the show with this option). On top of all the
> off-road options, the Xterra also receives a Magellan GPS navigation system.
>
> Holbreck Pathfinder
> Holbreck Pathfinder goes far beyond the necessities for a high quality
> Sport Utility Vehicle. Such features include American Racing 16-inch
> chrome wheels, Pro-Comp 275/70/16 tires, CalMini 2-inch suspension
> lift, Ramsey rear winch, PIAA lights, ski rack, ARB mini refrigerator
> and HKS exhaust system. The body style is enhanced with a DJ
> Motorsports custom grille with mountain scene, MC Guard wheel locks,
> hidden rear hitch and front and rear taillight grille guards. The
> interior of the Pathfinder is an accomplishment as well, with Woodview
> Blackwood dash kit, Weather Tech floor and cargo mats, Katzkin tan and
> black leather seats, tinted front windows and two headrest televisions with a DVD player.

>
> Street Concepts Frontier
> The Street Concepts Frontier receives a Custom Motor Sports 12-inch

Why would the Axis car have an HKS inter-cooler? No mention of turbo. Did somebody confuse CAI with inter-cooler?
I knew Nismo ( others soon to follow) would shut up some of these blow-hards that said there would be no HP in new exhaust.
Can't wait to see all the pictures!

I find myself only liking the wing and the wheels, but it still VERY tasteful. The side looks a little more cluttered, and less stretched than stock, takes away from door cut-in. Also, front end loses the fascia lip which I love.
Eagerly awaiting prices...

Hey VQracer....
I kinda had enough of you attacking NISMO parts. You don't know what the list price of the exhaust will be in the US, you are basing on current Japan prices. Why are you putting out disinformation like that?
And then you put down the quality and the name.
Yes, it's obvious you have a vested interest in other brands, why don't you start a new thread on that subject, other brands, and leave this thread for those that believe in the NISMO brand?
Thank you.

Jay,
Thanks. I'm a little bit disappointed with the stuff for the Z. So far, looks like the exact same stuff they have released in Japan. I was hoping for a few surprises. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though...hopefully they'll give us something really great. What I REALLY hope they do give is some ballpark costs for their products in the US market, and a firm release date.

With 6-8hp gain from the exhaust, I don't think it's worth the money. If they can bring down the cost to around $500-650, more people will be interested. Then again, you pay for the NAME sometimes, not product.
Maybe NISMO will have a chip upgrade next year, even if it's around $500+ for a 20-30hp gain, it will be worth it.
