Concept Z lists it for $153 each:

I'm guessing this is because of the brake guide mounting points, which is mentioned in the Nismo tension rod description for R32 GT-R. That would explain why the GT-Rs have a different part number...

so if we're trying to compare apples to apples, this secondary info needs to be clear and mentioned.

What are we even arguing about?

Nismo Tension Rod = OEM Tension Rod with stiffer rubber and silver paint.

Geometry is the same, steal material is the same. You can buy Nismo bushings and press them in for $100 vs buying the complete GTR rods for $400. $400 maybe worth it to someone who can't push bushings, has bad rods or whatever.


N1 Blocks measure out to be the same as standard
Nismo R Blocks measure out to be the same as standard

Nismo Oil Pump costs more then a billet pump and still has powdered metal gears that shatter - thus fixing none of the serious issues.
