Has anyone gotten word when in June the larger US dealers will start getting NISMO parts in stock? We should be getting close to the release date.

 

is the nismo stuff gonna be cheaper once it is sold here?

 

my favorite dealership (Sutherlin Nissan Mall of Georgia), and Georgia Z club sponsor!

Anyway, I went in at 4:30 yesterday, to get 6 oil filters. I said to the guy, its June, any info on Nismo? He said, funny you should ask, turned his computer screen around, and showed me the email they had sent to Nissan, to get an update before our club meeting last nite. Unfortunately, no response from Nissan as of last night.

Now the good news. They have found out that Nismo parts will be available through the normal parts system with the normal markups, and thus will have room to be discounted!. Also, they felt, as I had assumed, that since the body kit stuff will be dealer accessories that can be added at time of purchase, that they will probably come pre-painted, like the splashguards

20% off, and prepainted! Plus, John Stramotas, the head of the Nismo project for Nissan told me at SEMA IAS that the prices would be lower than in Japan.

 

They should be cheaper given the dollar's slide against other currencies. A lot cheaper.

 

oh yeah, we won't get the whole front bumper, just a lower spoiler. (from John S.)

 

That's too bad, I really like the Nismo grill.

 

The planned official NISMO US release date is June 15th

NISMO parts have been shipped across the Pacific (or en-route)

Exterior parts are unpainted as shipped from Japan

We get all the same aero parts but with a different material composition to pass US regulations

The US S-tune suspension kit matches exactly the Japan spec to fix the bounce

I think that is all I am allowed to say



I might be proven wrong, but I hope not

 

Is there going to be a us nismo website, or at least one in english?

 

Maybe they will be painted at the port? I know they are supposed to be available to be added on at purchase, and my dealership doesn't have a body shop.
