As far as the other (possible) nismo 'tunes', the R-tune and Z-tune, whats the deal on the parts, specifically... there was a picture posted on here (sorry couldnt find it) of what i am sure was an R-tune with black Nismo rims and the vented hood. Whats the deal with the rims, does anyone know anything about them, are they different then the 18s on the S-tune? 19s maybe, cause if they are, i wanna wait and get a good picture of what they're like. Also, the pic had the same bodykit as the S-tune (pimp kit), but i hope they make a version in carbon fiber(just to make it hardcore and shed some pounds off this fat ***** of a car [i say that lovingly])) I guess this post is me venting because theres not enuf stuff for us to look at for our cars. Its like everyone either wants to grasp the first mod to come out from each Co., or wait a couple years till everything is out. Dammit, i wanna have the same stuff the Japs have (not derogatory), why do i get the feeling we're gonna get shafted with just basic Nismo parts, not the Crazy Shiii. Just me venting, i guess thats it.....
any Nismo pictures, please post.

As far as I can tell the differences are:
S-Tune = Sport-Tune
This one is basically the equivalent of an "M3" or "Type-R" Z. A whole gamut of street legal performance & aesthetic upgrades that amounts to about a $5k-10k hike over sticker. These cars won't be available from dealers (yet), unlike in Japan.
R-Tune = Racing-Tune
This is an all out race car. As far as I understand the R-Tune includes a single turbo feeding a completely rebuilt & modded engine. Not street legal. I think these things start at like a couple hundred grand. I can't remember where I got this info, I think it was some magazine about Nissan's racing in Japan.
