Those are mods that are typically outsourced in the aftermarket and cost about $8,000 by themselves. Then you get the akebono lsd, recaros and now the exedy clutch.

If you're not into religious tracking? You buy the sport model. Nissan didn't add 18 HP to the nismo to make it faster. They added 18HP to compensate for the extra weight of EXPENSIVE body bracing. So if you're not on track? You won't be losing out if you buy a sport!

Let's not forget the Nismo has different shocks, Yamaha dampers, different tires and wheels. I think that street price being $42,000 is a really good deal.

Getting rid of the base nismo was dumb as fukk though. They just alienated the hardcore enthusiast who cares about taking 50lbs out their car.

1. Customer wants non-tech. Nissan doesn't make them anymore. Supply is low + demand is high = higher price/ less room to bargain
2. Reports show more tech models have been sold. Nissan discontinues non-tech version. Dealerships are looking to get rid of the non-tech nismos to get tech versions in.

...Does my rational make sense?
