It's amazing to me just how much more expensive the NISMO tag makes stuff here in Japan.

I'll give you an example. At any Autobacs, you can buy radiator caps. Simple enough right? They all do the same thing. Give you a convenient place to add water to your cooling system while sealing it well enough to keep it from leaking under pressure.

Most of the time you can buy them for less than 1000 Yen (around ten bucks). Now take that same $10 Cap, and put a NISMO tag on the top. That cap is now an $85 dollar item. And no, that's not an exaggeration.

So that leaves us to the point of my little story here folks. Is it really WORTH it to spend $85 on a $10 item only because it says NISMO on it? I don't think so. But there are plenty of self-pretentious buttholes with too much money in their wallet that will swear up and down that not only is it worth it, but that radiator cap is BETTER than yours.

And if any of you in the states think for one second that you can't build a much better R34 for $160k than the NISMO Z-tune here in Japan, you are kidding yourselves.
