From what I've seen, it looks like GK manufactures to a high standard, and don't seem like the kind of company that would sell/ship out a product that didn't meet their specs. Personally, I'd go with the nismo units, you know they'll be in factory tolerances, and will be reliable for years. If you try to install them, and something isn't fitting, you're not left guess which aftermarket part is causing the issue, you know it will be the GK product.

The Nismo toe arms use the factory eccentric bolts for adjustment. The GKTech HICAS eliminator doesn't facilitate the use of the factory eccentric bolts (thus the adjustable arms).

He did. The problem is not the tolerances, but the lack of any adjustment with the Nismo toe arms.
*Edit: mav1178 beat me to it.
Also, looks like Hardrace makes an adjustable hard rubber rear toe arm as well: https://hardraceusa.com/products/240...ubber-2pcs-set

So the short answer is, yes it will be fine. I don't recall people having magical sideways, unadjustable rear toe settings with other brands of HICAS delete bars.

The mounting hole on a non-HICAS subframe is elongated for adjustment. There isn't enough elongation in HICAS delete kits to use a eccentric bolt.
