Why does Nismo stuff suck so bad? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Just been comparing a lot of nismo items throughout my years of collecting parts. And it has come to my conclusion that nismo products suck.

For the price of Nismo brand parts, the quality or item isn't great at all.

There are a few things that I look at when comparing performance parts:
1. Quality
2. Technology
3. Creativity

Many Nismo parts lack at least 2 of the three prerequsites.

Example: Take the s13 "NISMO" power brace, it's pretty much overstock s13 parts that "Nismo" weld a few plates on, paint a different color and slap the NISMO brand on it. It lacks the 3 characteristics I've listed above.

Example: Take the Nistune Suspension, it's pretty much KYB shocks with red painted springs.

Example: Nismo strut-bars are pretty much the same shit as the Nissan strut bar painted black. Why couldn't they make it larger or have some type of improvement instead of just color change. Weak.

I can go on and on for all the other Nismo crap.

What do you guys think about Nismo?
