Default Nismo R-Tune?

Will we be getting the full line of Nismo R-Tune products here in the USA? Does anyone know what R-Tune products are out right now?

R-Tune in the U.S. differs from R-Tune in Japan. The R-Tune in Japan is far more advanced.

Mike... Ohlins is the maker of current NISMO R-tune suspensions ?


My take is.. and as previously posted... with NISMO sponsoring a Z33 for the 2004 GT series... there is going to be a lot more parts introduced from NISMO... and I hope the R-tune suspension is one of them.

Ohlins is a superb suspension and I had it on my previous Z32 TT.
On rails plus ++++... Loved the settings.

I think that I would like to get something more aggressive than my current S-tune.. and am thinking about moving up to R-tune, if it is introduced.. or switching over to Ohlins in 2004... depending on the ride and handling.

IMPUL currently offers Ohlins.... and you can see the pricing for the Z33... about $ 2,800 at current exchange rates.

Picture of the IMPUL Ohlins... and the link is ..

No ECU due to some kind of Federal regulation... Some stuff is now coming but Nissan is pretty closed lip on it. I got my first Nismo engine oil cooler kits yesterday. WAY SWEET, WAY OVERPRICED! We'll do a post and install on my car in the coming weeks. I'm glad I only got two as they will NEVER sell. Suspension is on our wish list as well.

Oil cooler for over $1000? GEEBUS!!

I'll take a B&M or Setrab cooler for much better priced.
