i assume your nismo had fitment issues? the kuruma z one is suppose to fit like a glove from what i've heard, then again so is the ravspec version. i'd go with ravspec's. i have yet to hear of one with horrible fitment.

For the reason that ours products are made in California. I believe Ravspec's version is made in China. So cost of producing them is much cheaper. I could be wrong...

I started with the authentic NISMO diffuser and replaced it with the KurumaZ replica. As stated, the KurumaZ replica fits like a glove, where the authentic fit like cheap pants with a crooked inseam.

I don't have any experience with the Ravspec, only the KurumaZ replica and the authentic. That being the case, I can only suggest the KurumaZ replica over the authentic. If I had to do it again, I would pay that additional $100 for the KurumaZ replica because I know, for a fact, that it's the best I've seen. Ravspec might be just as good, and it might not. All you have to go on are others' experience. If there is any question in your mind about the Rayspec, then spend that additional on the KurumaZ replica and rest easy knowing that it fits and looks perfect.

Sorry to hear that you got stiffed with an ill-fitting authentic NISMO diffuser. I know how dissapointing it is. I also know that the KurumaZ replica made everything alright.

So is that authentic or replica?

So you guys are saying that the replica has fitment issues?

that's the kuruma z version. it fits better than the authentic, apparently.

the authentic is the one with fitment issues.
