Probably a stupid question but can I get a Nismo catalog that is translated in English or maybe a U.S. distributor.I'm not sure i understand the whole Nismo thing I was just told that they may/do have a lot for the GA16DE thanks.

I don't think they have a lot, but I'm sure they have stuff. Be patient, Nismo is hitting the states soon, give it time and they'll start carrying stuff for most Nissans.
there have been nissan motorsports catalogs out here in the states before. my old 1993 copy has a carpload of stuff for the ga16de, like cylinder blocks, crankshafts, connecting rods, and a bunch of b13 generic stuff like brakes, suspension, and aero. i was a tad disappointed, because i thought it was up to date, and i had just bought a '96 s14...still it was an interesting read (might explain why my s14 was bone stock ). these catalogs should still be available at your local nissan dealer if they haven't sold out. these aren't the japanese nismo catalogs, nor the much-awaited nismo usa catalog due out in the fall. some say nissan motorsport is not the same thing as nismo, even though that's what nismo stands for, so the confusion is understandable
Like Chimmike said, Nissan Motorsports USA is NOT Nismo. Currently, you cannot get a Nismo catalogue in English because it is only since the intro. of the 350Z that Nismo is beginning to introduce parts to the U.S. market. Nismo is supposedly going to being introducing a lot more parts; however, most of it will probably focus on the new Z.
Go to your local dealer on Monday, they should have a NISMO catalog. I only have a price list right now, and so far the only Nismo parts for new Nissans are for the B15 SE-R and the 350Z. The list also has parts for various models including the B13 SE-R, 300ZXTT. So far, there aren't a whole lot of parts available, but they're taking orders starting Monday.
The B15 SE-R S-Tune (Street legal and Warranted) parts include a cat-back exhaust, 4 shift knobs, front sway bar, springs and shocks, floor mats, and some license plate frames. The R-Tune (off-road use only, not warranted) include a CAI, Header (w/ or w/out Cat), camshafts, brake pads (including the '04 w/Brembo kit), a rubber bushing kit, lower tie bar, rear sway bar, and a strut tower brace.
Note: These parts are more expensive than most aftermarket parts. For example: The cat back's MSRP is $700.00, and it doesn't say whether it's stainless. The Spring/shock kit is $1000. You also have to factor in the dealer's installation charge, since the parts will not be factory warranted if not installed by Nissan Techs. The good news is you can buy a brand new car, have the dealer add the Nismo stuff, and just have the cost rolled into the amount you finance, and the Nismo parts will be warranted 3/36 (if I read the info correctly).
correct me if im wrong but i think some of the parts that nismo offers are just rebadged items like the spec v cat-back is a greddy system that just says nismo in the tip.....i asked one of the reps. at a L.A. show and he wasn't allowed to say...but that i got the right idea.... let me know
I'm not sure how accurate that is...I'm sure Nissan has the funds to develop its own performance parts, but on the other hand, what's left? The CAI, for example: Is it really possible to make a better one than AEM? Aside from the V2, which doesn't work on MAF cars, I doubt there's a better one out there than the standard AEM. So it may not be an actual AEM pipe you're buying, but possibly one that's made under license.
Some of it has to be rebadged, though...The OEM struts on your Nissan were made by tokico or someone, so I'm sure it's the same thing with the NISMO parts. I'll have to get my hands on some to say for sure.
where can I find cams gears pistons and rods and such that are more performance oriented street not race.Ive looked into it but I can't seem to find anything internal for a 93 GA16DE.

There are no cam gears for the GA do to the VTC on the intake cam. Pistons and Rods you can check out www.motivational.net Mike has access to have those parts made. If not if you can provide a company a sample piston/rod they will make them to your specs. basically.
). these catalogs should still be available at your local nissan dealer if they haven't sold out. these aren't the japanese nismo catalogs, nor the much-awaited nismo usa catalog due out in the fall. some say nissan motorsport is not the same thing as nismo, even though that's what nismo stands for, so the confusion is understandable
