TAS09: Nismo S-Tune Z – Factory Goodness
Nismo’s S-Tune Z finally made itself available for our viewing pleasure at Tokyo AutoSalon. It’s one thing to see a car in a manufacturers promotional material but it’s a completely different thing to see it in the flesh and I bet you were all wondering if it really was that good? Well I can safely say that yes it’s damn good. For a big name car manufacturer such as Nissan to make an aero kit this good it signals that something is going right inside the company.
The Nismo S-Tune Z isn’t actually a Nismo product at all however, it’s designed and manufactured by Autech, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nissan which in the past has done quite a number of special version Nissans we know and love. The four door R33 GT-R, the RB26 powered Stagea wagon and the bizzare naturally aspirated RB26 four door R32 to name a few. It wears the Nismo badge simply because of the way Nissan corporate has structured the Nismo street tune parts business these days. That and it sounds good and carries that international brand awareness thing with it.
All this means is that the parts are tested to Nissan’s own high quality standards and are built to the same standards as the rest of the Z.
The Nismo S-Tune Z is a great car to see and to have a warranty to go with it is another great plus. It’s going to be interesting to see what Nissan North America do with the Z NISMO coming to the US this year.
