You know, Micvelo happens to know a few things. And one of the things Mic knows is, it's not how you stand by your car. It's how you race your car. You better learn that.

 

Lol.
I'd like to see someone show a Nismo rebranded product (doesn't exist) but most companies don't make their products, they design them.
The manufacturing goes elsewhere, that's just business.
If it's made to their specifications then it's their products, even the SPL stuff requires anodizing which SPL probably handles for them.

 

You know what? Nismo parts will decimate all after you put in 15 grand or more. If we have to, overnight parts from N̶i̶s̶m̶o̶ J̶a̶p̶a̶n̶ Calsonic, Tenessee, aka Magneti Marelli, Mexico.

 

Man, you should be going to MIT or something.

 

im from tennessee but i have no idea what all that stuff u said was lol.

anyways, the pics of engine bay never happened. got eaten alive by mosquitos. too scared to attempt taking sway bar off. did notice coolant is real dirty and low. im worried about it, and may take it to a normal run of the mill decent shop ive never been to, near where im working rn. to get it flushed. i was going to get that de complete silicone hose kit from z1. prob would be a good time to change the radiator ones, sucks i dont have it yet

 

And here we go down Overthink Ave.again.

When you gonna just drive that thing, bruh?

 

Wouldn't put those hoses on my car again if they paid me to lol.

 

plus i just remembered you all already told me my coolant looked dirty and spent. when i showed pics of my engine bay. i wish my shop diagnosed better, and yes im overthinking the hoses lol. coolant seems like something i should fix before april 14.

and im driving it like a ***** rn. once i get all these suspension parts and tires, and a little more love ill drive it

 

Hey, wait, hold up! I don't have any cash, but I do have the pink slip to my car.

 

what hoses would you use

 

OEM, the silicone ones tend to breathe, look like crap and make the engine bay smell like coolant.

 

interesting okay. i may just ask them to flush coolant then and replace it, and check hoses.
I may even just buy some coolant, and top it off for now. Let my shop flush it april 14.

 

You could push this across the finish line. Or, tow it.

 

Already gave one example... Intake. It's an AEM with a Nismo sticker on it.

 

This. Kept getting a whiff of coolant every so often thinking I had a leak but was the silicone hoses.

 

It's black and has a logo but sure it's the same one....that implies it is exactly the same. AEM makes it for them which isn't the same thing.

 

So did Nismo rip off AEM or the other way around?

 

Do you just argue for the sake of argument? Literally the only difference is the badge.

Not a matter of ripping off. Just Nismo is a brand, not a manufacturer.

 

Who does Nismo outsource to manufacture their different aerodynamic parts and body kits?

 

Autech. And spl does their suspension. and I believe OSG does their diffs.
