Not to knock NISMO but
SPL Parts are better and cheaper.

Saw them last night while browsing, basically nismo just copied SPL.....and a few years too late at that.

Yup, those designs look suspiciously like SPL

No need to pay an extra hundred bucks for the nismo logo

They are SPL parts with a different color and a higher price. The rear camber arms are the new style billet SPL's. $438.00 vs $379.00.

The front arms are real close. Wonder if SPL are up-dating their products?

I did not see these at ZDayZ. Hmmmmm

That big red piece is a sub-frame bushing. Just like the SPL piece.

yeah they were on the side of one of the Nismo booth tables. talking with the lady at the booth she said it was a new partnership with SPL eclusive NISMO color available at your dealership. I don't remember discussing price with them when i took the pics. I figured it'd be a little more than the SPL.

Buy lunch for the whole shop.

OptionZero 09-03-2018 10:23 PM

I've done that before. I mean, not a full catered lunch

but donuts or bagels everytime my car's in for anything more than a day

I'd rather have the guys touching my car be in a good mood, and what's $12

I've done the same. :D

Me purchase a slab for beer o'clock. Bagels and donuts are a uniquely North American thing

Yeah I spotted these parts on Z1, saw the SPL resemblance and had wondered myself. Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure if I like this though. The parts do look cool but it feels like nismo is just being lazy and cashing in on other peoples work. They should have developed this stuff a long time ago imo.

Let's not get bent out of shape. It is common for manufacturers to do OEM work. I have to admit, the Nismo badge is cool and would not mind paying for it. Nissan could have chosen an established company from Japan but chose the guys from Austin, TX instead. Congrats to SPL.

OTW Z-Boy 09-23-2018 10:54 AM

Anyone think these should have already came stock on the Nismo Z lol

Absolutely for those that modify, but not so much for those staying stock


Metal Ball joints for OEM seems overkill

But making them available from the dealer would have been cool

Even if Nismo developed these parts. The price would still be out of sight.

Time passes by and now Nismo camber arms are almost the same price as SPL, actually only the rear arms are a little bit more expensive. To be honest if I were about to choose between SPL and Nismo I'd pick Nismo, at least here in EU. If there would be an accident an insurance company may inspect vehicle if it was road legal. If the inspect will see label `Nismo` there's high chance that he'll assume that's OEM part and road legal IMHO.

BORNGEARHEAD 12-02-2021 07:44 PM

I wonder what dealer cost is on the Nismo pieces? Might be advantageous to know the parts guy. (wink)
