Why has nismo discontinued many s/r tune parts for the G/Z?

Anyone know why? Exhaust, headers and some other engine upgrades for both cpv35 and z33 platforms are no longer being manufactured by nismo japan as of 2 months ago.

wtf? The nismo products offered are for he most part better than all of the other aftermarket parts out there, it's just nismo's products are always soo damn expensive. There was a Z33 shootout between a supercharged and modded Z33, versus a Z33 with only nismo goodies on it, and frankly the NA Nismo one spanked the sp one (sport compact car magazine).

i don't think anyone ever said it was identical. people have, including myself, just pointed out the fuji manufactures it.
