Anyone have pictures of this car!? The white one I love it and I just wanted to see some pictures but only found a few when I searched it.

 

Here ya go!

 

 

I know i'll get flamed for saying this, but is it just me, or do the Nismo V2 and V1 front not match the sideskirts at all?

Don't get me wrong, I love the side, and I love the front, I just don't think they look right together.

matter of opinion I suppose

Personally, the only car the NISMO skirts look good on, IMHO, is the RS Concept. If you want high res shots, type NISMO RS Concept into google images

 

that's true, but the sleeker less bulged JDM skirts flow alot better than the bloated US version

i guess thats why people mix n match kit, personal preference

 

on a light color car I'd agree. On a black car, IMHO, I'd sooner go for the urethane/US versions personally, as the urethane far outweighs the bulge in my eyes

 

Damnit I sure like that diff. cooler back there.

 

i see the advantage of urethane bumpers over FRP, but FRP skirts are no issue imo especially the genuine Nismo which required absolutely zero prep work and lined up perfectly. However stone chipping is a problem - but i solved that by fitting clear bra inside the guard and along the skirt

ive already voiced my opinion of FRP vs urethane kits, and if i was going a copy kit id choose FRP anyday despite the dis-advantages, for the simple reason its easier to fix a bad fitting FRP kit than a bad fitting urethane kit

davidf im loving that diff cooler too, the look would be enough for me

 

I will definitely do that diff cooler if I visit the track more often.... for street drivings, dont think you will ever need to have that... and you are also running some risks of getting that damaged easily too..

cheers,

Thanks a bunch guys, and what does a diff cooler do?

 

wow, imagine buying a crate engine from Nismo Japan

nice

 

It cools the diff!! (rear differential)

 

There is no way that is a 265 width tire on a 10.5" wide wheel. It would extremely stretched. I have the same size tire on a 10" wheel and it appears stretched more than that.

I imagine its a 18x9.5" wheel contrary to what the article states.

 

tony - actually it is a 10.5 inch wheel - A048, which runs very full in a 265/35 (10.3 inches wide actually). Remember, tire sizes are approximates. So a tire classified as a 265 from one brand can be as wide as a 275 from another

 

aha...the trick is not getting an ill fitting kit, no matter what material it is

I hear ya on the diff cooler - if for nothing else, it looks bad *** - it just sits super super low for the street. As it is, with my car as low as it is now I scrape my new rear tow hook!

I just wish I could have that exhaust - its a mix of the original optional Ti Nismo, but has a subtle flamed tip. If I were more skilled with the torches, I'd love to give the flame treatment to my exhaust, but fear of screwing it up has prevented me from doing so lololol.

 

ooooo can you post a pic of the new tow hook

is that diff cooler another 'concept' part, or is it a catalogue item?

 

the tow hook is ultra top secret till I do the next photoshoot for the car It's honestly nothing special - if you look at the pic of the RS Concept, mine looks 90% identical to that . That item is not something NISMO sells, so we just went about fitting one that we had in stock here. A bit of cutting and an hour and a half and it was one.

As for the diff cooler, like many of the accessory bits on the RS, it is by ARC -mucho dinero

Aside from the hood, and exhaust, every part on that car can be ordered in one way or another as far as I've researched.

 

I have the template for the hood I am working trying to figure out a way to upload it to my computer so I can mail it to anyone that wants it
