You can get D2 base bulbs in any K temp you want. Do a Google search.
Just because Sylvania's replacement bulbs are 4300k doesn't mean it comes with those "replacement" bulbs from the factory.
And if you look at many of the Nissan forums, many of the newer 350zs talk about how they come with 6000k bulbs. I can't find any "official" sources to disprove or prove their claims, though.
It really doesn't matter... whether they come with 6000k or not, the 4000k-5000k bulbs are the best for visibility at stock wattages.
EDIT: Reflectors/housing styles for halogen can and often are different than HIDs. However, lets not get into that argument again.
The best stock wattage Halogen bulbs out there are going to be made by GE or Philips. Sylvania's high end bulbs are better than stock, but you overpay for them and they aren't as good as the other two.
