Message when we had one of these Nismo's at our car show and she said that the
redesigned front and rear air diffuser allowed the engineers to gain another 19
hp because of the improved air flow. Putting the final output of this normally
aspirated "factory" Z at 306hp. The front chin lip and rear spoiler improves
downforce by 17%. Looks like ass but works. :-)
