Ok... difference between nismo and stock??

[Silvia007]

Alright, guys, first off, I apologize if this was discussed already... but correct me if I'm wrong... Nismo parts for the 240sx are stock parts with slight welding reinforcements and painted silver which then cost about 10 times more then the original part. Oh yeah, that nismo sticker definately is the most expensive part.

you're exactly right. Nismo coilovers, clutches, swaybars, differentials, bushings, mounts, etc are all slightly reinforced stock parts :rolleyez

come on, they're performance parts. Go spend about 30 secs on courtesyparts.com in the Nismo catalog, and you'll see how wrong you are.

As far as the tension rods go I agree with you. The motor and transmission mounts are definately worth the money though. Power brace kicks *** as well. Can't speak on anything else.

I bought their steering rack bushings. I don't think I wasted $80, since the Nismo bushings are hard as a rock and the stock ones flopped around like a damn sponge...

lol i like their rims. broze booya!

In all honesty, some things are worth it some arent. It's just like anything else out there in the world.

Mugen, sure you can buy a mugen front lip, but you can also buy the same thing for less wihch looks identical. However you can buy other mugen things that will improve your own ride.

I got the power brace from courtesynissan.com and I didn't notice much of a difference... maybe because I had my Tein Flex on for a few months before the brace. Reason why I got it was because those who have it, gave it mad props. Anyway, if it helps in some way, it's worth the money.

I welded a piece of 1" square steel piping between those two beams. it's ghetto, but it ends up serving the same purpose as the power brace. I noticed a little more stiffness and "crispness" to the front end, but it might just be my imagination.

[Silvia007]

Nismo pretty much did the exact same thing...
