NISMO - Nissan Car Parts For Racing
What is NISMO? Well simply put it is the racing division of Nissan. NISMO offers literally hundreds of Nissan car parts to turn your 350Z, Sentra, or other Nissan into a full blown racing machine. Let's take a look specifically at some Nissan car parts for the 350Z so you have a better idea of what NISMO can do for you.
NISMO and Your 350Z
The factory 350Z is a fine tuned sports car. With the addition of NISMO Nissan car parts you can turn it into a race ready machine. There are two types of NISMO Nissan car parts - R-tune and S-tune. S-tune is the street parts and R-tune is the race parts. We are going to take a look at the R-tune parts.
First up on our Nissan car parts tour are the NIZMO R-tune cold air intake. These OEM Nissan car parts are designed to replace the standard cold air intake on your 350Z. Adding this component to your engine has a number of beneficial effects, but the most important is the increase of 10.2 horsepower and 8.0lb-ft increase that they give. With a list price of only $525 these intakes are a must have for any serious 350Z owner.
Next addition to the engine is some after market headers. The 350Z NISMO headers bolt right on and will give you and additional 13 horsepower and 13 lb-ft. These are priced at $1292 list. Paired up with the cold air intake you now have an additional 23 horsepower and 21 lb-ft of torque. Not to shabby for less than two grand.
If that is not enough the R-tune line also offers a new camshaft for increased response and performance. This upgrade will run you about $1500 but again is a must have if you are looking to really bring your Z to the next level.
The next option in the NISMO line is the cat back exhaust system. A full replacing for the dual pipes on the back this system will give you an extra 6 horsepower and 3.5 lb-ft while freeing up 9 lbs of weight. At roughly a thousand dollars this is a great option as well.
Still want more? Well there are many more NISMO Nissan car parts options available. From floor mats to aluminum pedals the NISMO line will let you fully deck out your Z in every option imaginable. You can do it all at once or one part at a time, but once you start the options are endless.
