Default Getting Nismo parts in Korea

Maybe. And we will see what the import tariff is when you enter the US.

I spent three weeks in Seoul and Pusan late last year and did not see a single Nissan product aside from the Nissan sedans produced under license by Samsung. I certainly did not see anything looking like a 350z although there were ads for the G35 coupe (but no coupes). If one were lucky enough to find NISIMO products in Seoul, I would suspect that they'll cost more in Korea than the U.S. Oddly enough, the fact that Japan and Korea are in close proximity to one another does not make for that many Japanese products in the Korean marketplace. By contrast, one will find more Korean products in Japan.

Not much of a selection of Japanese products or cars in Korea. The economy will collapse if they sell Japanese cars over there. You may get some NISMO knock-off in Korea since thats their thing. I think I only saw one Japanese car in Korea when I was there.
