NismoNicks' NISMO USA Z Build

[MCN1SMO]

I thought this video turned out great. Nick did a partnership with NISMO USA to use every part from their current new Z catalogue on his build. He gives a nice run down of what's available and a brief description of each part. He has more coming soon like the brakes ect

I've considered the Nismo suspension and swaybars for the factory RZ34 Nismo, however it's unclear to me if there will be actual benefits.

I am clear that the suspension will offer a height adjustment, but will it actually feel better?

A quick search of the swaybars show they are thicker than stock and have a 2nd level of mounts, but it's not clear to me, if they will have any noticeable benefit if you don't use the additional swaybar end links.

the NISMO sways have two mounting holes that fit the OEM mounts. so I think there would be a benefit with out extra end links as they do seem to be thicker than the OEM NISMO sways. with that said its probably minimal and you have to stretch out the mount to get them to fit which I think means if you go back stock you have to rebuy the rubber parts?

I was considering the sways and seeing they bit thicker I gave it some thought but now I think im just happy with how the NISMO as is after doing my autocross runs.

Yes, I see it the same way. That's why I don't think there's much point of getting the swaybars.

Now, as for the suspension, I am curious to hear what Nick has to say about it.
