This review includes a video -- a NSMO Z that includes the sports resetting package, S1 suspension, and body mods. The reviewer is Japanese?Eand excellent.

Translation of the video.....

1. Engine response is excellent.
2. Fast
3. I have been in the Z several times before.. this is the first time to experience such a light feeling.
4. Turbo tuning is now the main focus in Japan.
5. The NA Z could never compete with a turbo. However, because of continuing government regulations, the NA engine will be the focus of sports tuning in the future, I believe.
6. The sports resetting package has immediate response.
7. The NA engine has its own charm.
8. The feeling --- immediate engine response..peak power...power feeling...and high torque feeling.
9. The S1 suspension is very good and able to handle the changes to the road.
10. The power feeling with the sports resetting is very natural.
11. Overall feeling and attitude are very European

 

thanks for posting that fairladyZ in Japan!

btw... in your signature panel, what do you mean by Nismo Large Airflow pipe and duct? does nismo offer such a product at this stage?

Thanks for your help in advance!

cheers,

Richie.. You are most welcome... from one NISMO fan to an even bigger one as shown in you sig.

NISMO has not announced anything regarding its new products ... but per my contact -- more to come with the NISMO sponsorship of the Z in the 2004 Japan GT500 category -vs- its previous sponsorship of the GT-R.

The picture shown in the recent OPTION magazine for the S1.. is just like previous NISMO ad pictures... so it is just a matter of time... I will be doing more research this week.
