Nissan To Take On The V8 Supercars!

[Roy]

They will have a second rate car as it will come out of the Kelly brothers workshop. Not really worried about that.

I just generally wish that the Nismo brand (dont give a fk for the Nissan brand) didnt have to be boganised in order for Nissan to sell some more shtbox Navaras.

I love how everybody makes out that the Nissan brand is so immaculate. Like it enjoys the customers that Mercedes does Nissan is cheapsville wanker performance on the whole. So many punks drive Nissans...I would rather bogans than this bunch

No disrespect to people reading that happen to look liek the above...I am just old and out of touch with the times

I'll need to buy a V8 supercar sticker for my car now, Toyota ? Chrysler ?

i wouldnt go as far as that roy, mercedes are now engaging nissan to assemble their c-class motors in the US in 2014, due to the failing euro.

mercedes owns 3% of nissan and nissan/renault own 3% of mercedes, so worldwide sales affect both nissan/daimler in a global sense aswell.

the original Datsun/Nissan racing colours are awesome, f**k you mad !

and why are the awesome? because that's what they used 20 years ago?

they looked ordinary back then, they aren't any better now

Nissan and Mercedes are just swapping technology, whether that will apply to new motors in Nissan cars who knows, but it seems likely they want to launch an Infiniti in Europe with a diesel engine to compete more directly with the other Euro cars.

Daimler will supply Nissan and Infiniti with a number of gasoline and diesel engines from the current and future engine portfolio as well as with automatic transmissions.

"Nissan is going to be building 250,000 Mercedes-Benz 4-cylinder gasoline engines annually at its powertrain assembly plant in Decherd, Tenn. (The Decherd facility will produce engines for Mercedes-Benz and Infiniti models.) The move helps Mercedes overcome instability in the Euro because the engines are going to put into the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, being built at Daimler’s vehicle plant in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The engine uilding alliance begins in 2014.

Nissan began powertrain assembly in Decherd in 1997. Today it manufactures 4-, 6- and 8-cylinder engines for the complete lineup of U.S.-produced Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. The plant also houses crankshaft forging and cylinder block casting operations. In 2011, Decherd produced more than 580,000 engines on a covered area of more than 1.2 million square feet (111,000 square meters)."

Hey Roy, where did you find that pic of my cousins ?

Mad:

No I like the colour scheme.

[dirtyRS4]

it would be sacriledge to change the datsun / nissans colors, sorta like changing youre footy teams colors.

[mad082]

doesn't mean they look good (both footy team colours and nissan/datsun colours)

The guy in the black singlet looks like hes getting a dutch rudder from the guy in the pink shirt.

[dirtyRS4]

dont mind this

now that's a bogan mobile..

[Roy]

I read that they are keeping Jack Daniels sponsorship. So guessing the livery will be largely black.

I liked the old white, red and blue. But Nissan / Nismo colours these days are predominantly white with red, grey and black highlights....no blue anymore. So expect the car to be heavily black and white with heavy use of red Nissan badging

[The Bogan]

I've heard they will be using a R35 shape body ?

This is purely gape vine ramblings though, "apparently" its being tested in Japan.

[bigkevracer]

I think everyone is operating on the assumption it'll be the new Altima.

Have a flick through the new Auto Action, some interesting stuff in there.

[mad082]

dont mind this

now that looks hot

[Hank Scorpio]

Red one needs moar Motul.

IMO they should have Autech backing them aswell.

Alright I don't know what the rules are in regards to posting photos from magazines so I will put them after this post so if a mod wants to delete them it can be done easily. Basically there its the cover story of AutoAction Magazine which is dated February 15-21.
