What about NISMO injectors? They're junk Sard garden hoses with a Nismo sticker.

Their suspension arms. Cost a bomb (or as much as Ikeya stuff) yet you don't have anywhere near the adjustment. Painted silver but!!

The list could go on forever.

They do make some decent gear like the rear diffs, clutches and are actually reasonably priced. Most of it is just "warmed up" and hardly worth the money.

But you have a NISMO clutch in your car?

Just like most of us did/do...

At least they got one thing right

Last paragraph mate.

Not saying it's all junk. The diffs and clutches are fantastic. Absolutely no question there. That clutch is THE clutch to have one a street GTR.

Lots of Nismo hate... And I've bought two Nismo items in the past 4 days [emoji15]

One of those items was a fuel pump... I can't bag the price of Nismo too much - the identical Tomei fuel pump was double the money of the Nismo!

I installed a Nismo thermostat in my R33. Was great, car never got the chance to get out of cold tune! And it only cost $120!

So glad I didn't spend $40 on an OEM thermostat that would hold a collant temp over 60 deg C, fuel economy is for chumps!

Walbro would be half the cost and flow even more and be e85 compatible.

Won't be a direct fit i suppose though

a hose clamp and 2x wire crimps aren't exactly brain surgery lol

Maybe not, but I've read mixed reviews on Walbro pumps, where as I've heard no negative comments about the Nismo pumps. It also includes everything for a painless swap, including the large o'ring that seals the fuel pump opening. The flow of the Nismo pump is a good match for the rest of my gear (injectors, turbo etc) so the higher flow rate of the Walbro would be a waste.

Hard pipes usually do the exact opposite - in that - they make shuffle far more pronounced/problematic. Particularly when running larger twins, stock turbos not a problem but upgrade to -5s or 2530s and you're in for a tuning headache.

So no, they are certainly not a good upgrade IMO. Plenty on this forum have even REMOVED the hard piped and gone back to stock ones for that very reason, plenty of posts about it. So definitely something that article fails to touch upon but then he's still running stock turbos... They should be the first thing you change, not everything else first.

Just curious, why do the group A R32 Gtr such as the Calsonic and Gibson motorsports have the hard pipes then? I thought the hard pipes gave less flex compared to stock rubber and had better merger Y pipe before going into intercooler?
