Thanks. Nismo LM-RS6 9.5 +35 F, 10.5 +22 R 275/40/18 F, 295/40/18 R

Did oil change #2 today at 2,659 miles. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum again. Got to use the Fumoto drain for the first time and it was awesome. Not a single drip. Put the correct oil filter on this time, too. :) The catch can had a couple ounces in it, which I thought was significant since it’s only...

Did your camera also take the picture of a certain dress? I cannot figure out what color this car is, lol.

That’s them! I mean, it’s basically a regular NE24 with a NISMO sticker on it, but still pretty cool. With my weird obsession of only putting OEM or Nismo parts on my car, this gives me a new option.

I attended an employee-only webinar today showcasing a lot of future Nismo and PRO-4X stuff. Most of it was confidential and I cannot share, but there was one awesome bit of info that wasn't marked as confidential: A Nismo branded version of the Rays NE24 wheel is coming. I wasn't allowed to...

A fully assembled take-off bumper would probably be your best bet. Though, there might not be a lot available right now since the MY27s are still pretty new. I’m only seeing pre-facelift bumper assemblies on eBay.

The entire bumper assembly will need to be swapped, nothing is carryover. How did you source a MY27 bumper? Is it a kit, or did you just get the “raw” bumper? If you didn’t get a kit, there is a lot of extras you’re going to need (upper and lower grilles, sensor and sonar housings, harness...

It is 100% this. The Sport is intentionally nerfed to make the Performance more appealing so they can charge you $10k more for an incrementally more expensive (to Nissan) vehicle. Your eyes would water if you saw the margin difference between the Sport and the Performance.

This is correct, solid vs two-tone has nothing to do with trim. (Though I do agree solid is better, hence my color choice!)

I petition to change the name of this forum to Yaris Club.

I'm no fluid dynamics engineer... But, I have a new OEM front chin spoiler in the garage awaiting install, and that thing is so flimsy, it's more likely to fold in half than provide any real aero at 130+ MPH. My guess is the speed limiter difference is a faux-"benefit" they gave the Performance...

This is the way!

Why stop at 21”? Kidding, kidding, carry on!

Where did you find this? It may be different for aftermarket, but for OEM parts, the part number is always exactly 10 digits long. And if there is ANY change to the part, it requires a new part number; almost always an incremental change to the last five digits. I work closely with the design...

I’ll save you the suspense: a Nismo with improved tune, transmission, suspension, tires, and 20 extra horsepower is not going to trap 8mph slower than a non-Nismo Z. Occam’s Razor, man.
