Im not sure what they did to the nismo to make more HP, im guessing tune, exhaust and nismo labels everywhere.<<

The nismo's extra power comes from a slightly less restrictive exhaust. The 15 also has a slightly different ratio in the rear end for a little extra acceleration.

yeah I knew about the 3.916 final drive and exhaust but 25 more over the sport seemed like more than just exhaust. ive been comtemplating the Z1 400hp package since I have a nice exhaust already. this would just compliment it nicely I think.

What speed do you cruise at with that final drive with your rpm at 3k and 6th gear? I have 14 Nismo, and I was contemplating switching to 3.9 gears but don't want to be at 4k rpm at 80mph
