Following in the steps of the Nismo merchandising, which has already been manufactured and sold by Nissan since Oct 2006, Nismo’s light-tune parts business is now being handed back to parent company Nissan. Quoting the Nissan press release:

The revamp allows NISMO to focus on its core strengths and expertise to develop high-performance heavy-tune parts that cater to a dedicated customer base of tuners and racing enthusiasts.

The first Nismo tuner parts to be retailed by Nissan will be the Tiida S-Tune parts.

As for globalization of the Nismo business, Nissan remarks:

Nissan is also exploring expansion plans to overseas markets for its tuner-parts business.

Does this mean we will see S-Tune Tiida’s in other markets? Even on the showrooms of Nissan dealerships worldwide one day?
