A look at the Nismo racer's engine compartment.

 

Nismo also had this limited edition Z with the larger motor and a special designed by Yamaha mass damper much like the technology banned from F1 used to improve the ride.  Nismo employees that I know say this really works and the car does have a nice ride for a sports suspension equipped car.The S-Tune 350Z sporting Nismo's new long nose aero kit.  The Z's high-speed handling supposedly really responds to a long nose treatment, hence all of the aftermarket and factory long nose kits we spotted in Japan.
