At this point, it isn't even about rose-tinted glasses anymore - the 1980s and 1990s were good times for sports cars. Nissan seems to agree, if their fully-restored R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R is anything to go by. Recently, Nismo (Nissan's sporting arm, Nissan Motorsports International) opened their Nismo 'Restored Car' division, with the first product on their catalogue being this 'Godzilla' R32 GT-R. If you've somehow missed the whole hullabaloo about it, here's a quick low-down: the project esse

Bila kita jumpa ‘beast’ di jalan raya, kita rasa nak rapat-rapat semata-mata untuk mendengar deruman enjin kereta yang menjadi halwa telinga terindah bukan saja bagi peminat kereta, tapi juga anggota menjaga sekatan jalan raya (SJR)!

We’re all well acquainted with the Nissan Leaf, the first-ever mass-market electric vehicle (EV) with an unbeatable range and affordable price (at least not in Malaysia). In other words, a boring EV car. But Nissan is out to prove that the Leaf is not just more reliable than a Tesla but can be just as exciting with this very unique sprint race. In a video uploaded on Nissan’s official YouTube channel, the Nissan Leaf challenged mother nature’s fastest elements, the wind and fire, to a 0-100 km/h

Nissan GT-R mungkin sebuah model yang sangat lama di pasaran. Walaupun lama, ia tetap mempunyai peminatnya yang tersendiri. Walaupun kebanyakan pesaingnya telah menerima generasi baru, Godzilla telah berada di pasaran sejak 2007 dengan kemas kini terbaru yang dilancarkan pada tahun 2017. Namun, menurut satu media Jepun, Nissan dikatakan sedang merancang untuk GT-R generasi berikutnya dilancarkan pada tahun 2025.

Dengan beransurnya teknologi kereta elektrik (EV) dan denda untuk ekzos bising di Malaysia, nampaknya dunia automotif kini cenderung ke arah sesuatu yang lebih senyap.

Manual drivers rejoice, as Nissan has confirmed that the upcoming Nissan 400Z will be fitted with a three-pedal option. Over the past week, Nissan has dropped a slew of teasers for its new Z-car, including one that has the 400Z’s manual shifter in view, as well as glimpses of the new car’s headlights and wheels. Nissan’s design boss Alfonso Albaisa also posted a sketch of the Z-Car’s rear-end, hinting that the model will get horizontal tail lights – much like the 300ZX. Power is expected to be d

If you think that the Drive68 body kit on the all-new Nissan Almera is just a little too tame for you, then take a load of this ultra-aggressive LUMGA body kit created by body kit company Amotriz in Thailand. At first glance, the futuristic and aggressive body kit reminds one of the sporty kits on the Honda Civic Type-R and Nissan GT-R R35. The body kit includes a modified front bumper, sharp side skirting, a choice of massive rear spoiler or a ducktail style spoiler, and a rear bumper that make

HKS has showcased a new line of products for JDM enthusiasts, the “HKS Advanced Heritage”. Due to high customer demand, they have introduced a modernization package for the R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R RB26 engine, the “RB26 Advanced Heritage”.

Nissan's car manufacturing history dates back to 1914, making it one of Japan’s oldest. Between the ‘60s until the ‘90s, Nissan was Japan’s most technologically advanced. When Toyota and Honda entered the car business in 1936 and 1962 respectively, Nissan was No.1. Today, it’s the weakest in Japan. It's a sad turn of events for the company that made the first Japanese car fast enough to beat a Porsche – at the 1966 Japanese Grand Prix, two R380s took the top two spots, ahead of three Porsche 906

Baru-baru ini saya perhatikan banyak netizen Facebook riuh rendah tentang trend kereta berprestasi Jepun dari zaman 80an, 90an, sehingga awal tahun 2000 yang dijual dengan harga melebihi nilai sebenar. Malah ada yang mencecah enam angka bagi casis bukan original model tetapi ‘convert’. Apa cerita? Kalau lihat bahagian komen, mesti ada yang meninggalkan komen seperti “mahal tak kena gaya”, “tak berbaloi sebab ‘convert’”, ataupun “kereta dah lama pun harga neraka ke?”. Secara peribadinya, saya ber

Sejarah pembuatan kereta Nissan boleh dikesan balik seawal 1914, membuatkannya salah satu yang tertua di Jepun. Antara era 60-an hingga 90-an, Nissan adalah pembuat kereta Jepun yang paling berteknologi tinggi. Apabila Toyota dan Honda menceburi industri pembuatan kereta pada tahun 1936 dan 1962 masing-masing, Nissan berada di tempat teratas. Hari ini, Nissan adalah yang paling lemah di Jepun. Bagi sebuah kereta Jepun yang cukup pantas sehingga boleh mengalahkan Porsche, statusnya amat menyedihk

If you love cars and is planning a trip to Japan, you should pay a visit to Toyota’s MegaWeb store in the Odaiba district of Tokyo. It’s a sprawling multi-storey brand experience centre. There’s also a heritage collection section where expert Toyota ‘Takumis’ (expert craftsmen) restores various classic cars, including non-Toyota models. Part of the MegaWeb store is to promote the love for cars and appreciation for car culture, and the gregarious Toyota is generous enough to spend some resources

Mirror Bore Coating Technology – fancy name, but this is the feature that unites both the recently-introduced all-new 2020 Nissan Almera and the legendary Nissan GT-R. Now, before we get into technicalities, let’s recap what does the all-new Nissan Almera bring to the table. Right off the bat is the brand-new HR10DET 1-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine that does 100 PS and 152 Nm. While these figures are hardly ground-breaking, what sets the Almera apart from the competition is its

You're looking at what Nissan's flagship sports car would look like and not only does it look tantalising but so are the specs: Mid-engine, V6-powered, and rear-wheel drive. Are we looking at Nissan's comeback? While last year's Nissan Z Proto brought much excitement to car enthusiasts all over the world, that is clearly an appetiser of exciting things to come from the beleaguered Japanese giant according to Japanese media. The idea of a mid-engine Nissan flagship isn’t brand-new though. More th

While many car fans recognise the legend of the first Honda NSX and how it beat the mighty Ferrari, it was another Japanese carmaker that first gave the Italian stallion a scare. Nissan produced not one, but two supercar concepts that were ready to fight against the Italian but sadly pulled the plug. With reports of Nissan looking to launch a mid-engine 3.0-litre V6 flagship sports car in 2024, we decide to take a look back at Nissan’s first attempts at a flagship sports car, the MID4 concepts.

The all-new Nissan Leaf is now available in Malaysia. Available in just one high-specification variant, the second generation Leaf is priced at RM 188,888. The fully electric (BEV or Battery Electric Vehicle) Leaf now comes with a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery, which gives it an ample 311 km driving range (when tested under the ECE R101 New European Driving Cycle, NEDC). Nissan distributor Edaran Tan Chong Motor is keen to point out that most Malaysians don’t drive more than 200 km per day and thus

The Nissan Z Proto is a perfect mixture of past Z cars (or as Chief Designer at Nissan, Alfonso Albaisa called it, memories) and the future of Nissan. Some people might say it is merely an evolution of the 370Z but clearly, there is more to that. In fact, it is probably a better reworking of what Nissan had done a little over 20 years ago with a Z concept also known as the 240Z Concept. Things weren’t doing so well financially for Nissan in the late nineties. Sure, the Skyline GT-R was about to
