Just found out that Nismo finally hits the shelves june 16th. Mostlty starting with the Z and the SER. here's a link where I got the info from. And guess what Nothing for us.

We're always the step child

 

The " Flagship" gets dumped again !

 

i know right. that ****es me off

 

 

Nissan should start to recognize that we have the second largest community in the market. I think they should have capitalized on it, like they did with the z. The whole being a part of a community thing.

I feel the love in here all the time.

 

Maybe there will be a way we can once a phone number comes up or website and just speak are words.

 

We need to remember that in most other parts of the world, the Maxima's image is more like the Cefiro/I35 where Nissan markets the car as a low- to mid-level luxury car for the more 'mature' buyer. This target market really could care less for the enthusiast niche that is represented by this site.

I would think that Nismo would want to spend its resources on cars like the Skyline GT-R, Fairlady Z, and Nissan's smaller sporty cars in Japan because that's what they were created for. Nismo never has and probably never will support the Cefiro/Maxima, and I'm fine with that. In any case, our community already has a good, albeit small, group of performance companies who seem to have our interests at heart, and that is always appreciated.

For me, I'm just waiting to see what might be available from Nismo for my '02 SE-R.

 

Ah who needs it anyways. The parts won't be cheaper anyways, and they would likely dump anything major ie. headers/downpipes/blowers as R-Type anyways, which means not under Nissan warranty...

 

Care to see exactly what they're offering and at what prices?

Take a look.... http://mywebpages.comcast.net/metaorbit/nismo.pdf

 

Well, at least we can get a NISMO license plate frame. I wonder how many horse power that's good for

I swear, if I get beat by an SE-R I'm gonna dump my Max in the river!

 

We've been sh!tted on...

 

Are they any reason 350Z cams wont work in a Maxima?

 

Damit man I was waiting the first time I heard NISMO would come to the US. Now there's nothing for our cars

 

dont forget you will beable to use some or most of the parts off the 350Z...they both have the Vq35 right????



But.......they arent the same with the layout...ones latitude and other is longitude!

 

Why wouldn't North/South cams work in an East/West engine?

 

We don't even get a oil cap.
