Parts Program for Approved Nissan Racers

A great benefit of the 2020 Nissan Contingency Program is what/how
OEM/NISMO parts can be purchased. Special parts pricing is available for
approved racers and all OEM/NISMO parts can be ordered directly from
Nissan Motorsports. Once approved, you can call or email Nissan
Motorsports directly and receive price quotes on your required parts.

To streamline the parts ordering process, racers can place your credit card
information on file with Nissan Motorsports. Your card will be charged at the
time the order is processed. If you would like to do this, please call Nissan
Motorsports at 1-888-833-3225 and speak to Sandra Vernich or Bryana
Manning, or you can email us at nmc.race@nissan-usa.com.

This program benefit requires conformance of all 2020 Nissan Contingency
Program guidelines which includes display of all current NISSAN and NISMO
logos on the vehicle and race suit.

Parts purchased through the program are not for resale and intended for the
sole use of Nissan racers for their race and support vehicles.
