For those of you who don't know (because your in it for the money and you don't know $hit about $**** when it comes to cars) Nismo has been creating performance products for Nissan for nearly 20 years and include exhaust systems, suspension upgrades and power enhancements such as turbochargers. We plan on supplying performance products to such car lines at the Maxima, Altima and new 350Z. Blah blah blah"
Managers go to dealers "hey got this memo about uhhh... Misno or something like that, says there going to make turbo chargers for our cars and they want it to go through you guys, you up for it?" "Hang on let me talk to my guys"
Dealer goes to salesmen "Hey manager just called up said Misno but I think he means Nismo performance stuff is going to be sold through us, you think you guys could use that?" "Yeah I heard of them before let me talk to Bill in service about it"
Salesmen goes to bill "Hey Nismo's going to be sold through us what do you know about them" "I heard they got a Skyline pushing 1000bhp to the wheels man, thats some krazy $hit, I hope they bring there stuff here" "Uh yeah manager from Nissan said something about turbo chargers and 350z's and stuff" "REALLY sweet I bet it's a system that uses like a turbo per cylinder, must push 700bhp easy" "No $hit, will it be under warranty?" "That would be cool, maybe the owner will install our own dyno then cause we'd need to tune it every day, then we could even buy one of those factory racers and......." "Bill, Bill! you allright... BILL! Oh well I'm sure he knows what he's talking about afterall he reads those magazines everyday"
You go to salesmen "I heard Nissan is goin to be selling Nismo through dealers" "You going to buy the car if we are" "Don't know maybe" "Well just between you and me I talked to the president of Nissan Motor Company yesterday, yeah no $hit, he says Nismo is making a twin turbo charged system for the 350Z, coverered under warranty and make like 450bhp to rear wheels and we can install it for you at $3000" "Really, no way!" "Hey I heard from the big man himself and that guy never lies, if you buy the car now I'll even throw in %15 off the Nismo turbo kit for you and let you race the car even under lease, provided you get extra paint protection, udercoating and cold weather upgrades" "But I live in So Cal" "El Ninio dumb a$$ don't you watch the news..."
Please forgive my sarcasm but I just can't bring myself to beleive it's actualy going to happen. I could see Nismo being sold through dealers and have suspension kits, intakes exhaust, wheels and tires, shift **** and pedals, but not a 420hp TT warranty kit for under $5K.

I can't believe you took the time to write all of this. Canada must be pretty boring.
cheers!

Why is it so unbelievable? (besides a twin@420WHP) Dodge, GM, and Mitsu, even saturn are putting in performance shops that will add turbo's to there respective vehicles under factory warrenty. Nissan would just be running with the pack.

Ask your contact at Nismo if these rumors are correct. My dealer and several others have said that a turbo is coming from Nismo for the 350Z. I was told by the owner of a major dealership that a turbo would be coming out in 2003 for the Z. Now it is possible that everyone I have talked with is wrong, but I really doubt it.
Then again, that's just my opinion...
Michael.
