Up for sale is the one of a kind "Mishimoto Sharpie" 500 hp Nissan 370Z featured in the May 2012 issue of DSPORT Magazine.

This amazing one of a kind car has 14,000 miles on it and all of the modifications listed below were installed new & are in excellent working condition having 5,000 miles or less on them. This car has over $100,000 of parts and work invested into it; all of which was done by performance shops in California & Minnesota (A detailed description of all service performed & specifications available upon purchase). The one of a kind art seen was completed at the SEMA 2011 auto show & is sure to turn heads. To see the YouTube video type in "sharpie 370z" in google.

Highlight Modifications:

Stillen Vortech V-3 Centrifugal Supercharger Kit
PPE Engineering Long Tube Headers & Berk Technology Exhaust Dual 2.5" Cat Back
KW Variant 3 Adjustable Dampers / Coilovers / Springs
Stoptech 4-piston Front and 6-piston Rear Big Brake Kit
TSW Tanaka Rims, Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 Tires (less than 1,000 miles on both)
Sound-stream Sound System & 320 Amp SPX-i High Output Alternator
Custom Sharpie Art done by Hydro 74 & Zombie Yeti (There is a double clear coat over the sharpie which is UVA&B resistant; good to wash & wax over top of & leave in the sun without fade)

The car has 412 RWHP & 306 RWTQ at a safe 7.35 psi of supercharger boost at redline; this car is built as a race car with the reliability of a daily driver; the current tune is conservative getting close to 40mpg (because of the 'Centrifugal Supercharger' Setup). With a more aggressive tune you could see more hp and with a 10psi pulley upgrade this car could push 700 RWHP easily. With the current setup and tune on this exceptional 370Z its engine performance and handling rivals that of a Porsche 911 S or Corvette ZR1 & gets more attention at car shows than a Lambrogini or Ferrari; it has been an absolute joy owning it. The header & exhaust setup is extremely clean sounding and is one of the best sounding tuner cars I have ever heard. On top of performance the sound system is fantastic & far exceeds the stock bose setup. This car is extremely fast and was NEVER tracked, raced or abused & was garage stored for its life; never driven in the snow and seldom in the rain.

If you are seriously interested in the vehicle please place a best offer; I am open to consider any and all offers. A $2,000 USD non refundable deposit is required upon the end of the auction & full payment of the remaining balance is required by cashiers check within 14 days after the end of the auction.

Nissan to bring Friend-Me concept to Shanghai

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Nissan's got a big ol' show planned for its immersive space at the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show where visitors will see, touch, hear and smell the Nissan world. Sitting among 20 offerings that include the GT-R, Quest, Murano and Teana will be the Friend-Me concept (click image above to enlarge), the first show car created with "key input" by Chinese designers at Nissan Design China in Beijing. Its USP is "Four seats, one mind connectivity" that promotes information sharing among all the occupants.
The Friend-Me has the "vibrant, young" Chinese demographic in mind, our guess being Nissan thinks there's no reason to stop the digital sharing just because you're sitting in a car. We'll find out on April 20 exactly what's being exchanged in the Friend-Me. Until then, there's a press release below with a little more info.

NISMO confirms hotter GT-R, return to Le Mans and more performance models [w/videos]

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Nissan has made three announcements, all of which intend to sharpen the global significance and sales of its NISMO performance arm. Calling it "a new era for NISMO as its global performance car and motorsports brand," Carlos Ghosn cut the ribbon on the new, larger, nicer NISMO headquarters in Yokohama, Japan. For the first time since the division was founded in 1984, all of its employees are located in one place that was dubbed "a hothouse of passion and performance." Sign us up.
There, the team will start overhauling Nissan's entire range with NISMO models. The Juke NISMO is right around the corner for the US market, the second generation of the 370Z NISMO is coming for 2014, the first GT-R NISMO is being developed, and after that will come "a range of affordable performance Nissan models from small cars to flagship sports cars" - a new model every year. The expanded product line will mean that markets that haven't had access to NISMO's works will finally be able to buy them.
The last big news is that from now on NISMO will manage every one of Nissan's global motorsports programs, and its largest initiative will be prepping an entry for Le Mans in 2014. While Nissan has left the DeltaWing project, it hasn't walked away from experimental racers: the brand aims to have "a pioneering Nissan race car showcasing electric technology" ready in 15 months that shows "a new approach to innovation and excitement."

Nissan Altima and Sentra to get Murano-inspired design redo

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The Nissan Altima and Sentra sedans are both very competent, economical, comfortable and well-equipped ways of getting from A to B. They're also both decidedly boring to look at, which is not a good trait in their increasingly style-driven segments.
To rectify this, Nissan is planning design overhauls for its mainstream, with the Sentra adopting the sportier, Euro-style looks of the Pulsar, according to The Car Connection. While that (sadly) won't mean the five-door Pulsar will come to the US market, fitting the European stylings to the Sentra should go a long way towards broadening the car's appeal.
That parcel of information comes from Nissan design boss Shiro Nakamura, who spoke to The Car Connection at last week's Paris Motor Show.
