A naturally aspirated Nissan S30Z is the only thing I live for

Another japanese automaker. They make(d) cars such as the Skyline GT-R, 300ZX, Silvia/240SX, and the new 350Z.
Nissans will last you a long fucking time.

An automobile company reintorduced into the wild after Renault began supplying funds. Nissan has proven that it is possible to build the most exciting, stylish, fast and affordable cars within record time.
GM needs to have revolution, they are too greedy and selfish to do so. However, if they did; they would become the company they were in the 60s and early 70s.

1. In extremely innovative and ground breaking company that slowly began to (until recently) release boring, generic, water-downed, and de-tuned vehicles to North America.

2. A company; that despite tremendous enthusiasm and support, refuses to release outstanding vehicles such as the Skyline, Silvia, and GTi-R in North America.
Instead of the awesome sr20det powered Silvia, I'm stuck with this ka24de powered 240SX P.O.S.

Japanese auto manufacturer...
introduced to the united states in the 1960s as "Datsun Motor Co." in an attempt to retain the integrity of the Nissan nomenclature in the event that their vehicles were not a sales success in the states. Fortunately they were a huge success, & they changed the Datsun name to Nissan in the USA in 1984.

Pronounced "Nih-san", not "nee-san" as stated elsewhere on this page.
1. Nissan cars are sold in many countries.

2. Boy I dont know about them rice-burning Nee-sans bubba.

3. Yeah my boy got a 86 Nissan Maxima w/ triple-crhome daytons & a kit... shit is straight off the hook playa, bet.

1st off, everyone who mad a definition for this word seemed to have some kind of wrong Information added in. If nissan made "watered down" cars then why is my KA24DET with just a Garrett T28 better than an SR20. Someone said Nissan's are more common than shoes, this isn't true either unless we're talking about Sentras. Same with "run of the mill automobile" WTF was that guy thinking? Also Nissan's aren't an Infiniti for the cheapskate, you moron, Infiniti's are Nissans, Infiniti's are overpriced Nissan, The Infiniti G35 is a Nissan Skyline 350GT, the Infiniti G20 is a Nissan Primera and the Infiniti I30 is a Nissan Cefiro. And for Honda fag fanboi with the first definition, Toyota's are the Japanese cars that have rust like cancer, how dumb are you. Oh wait you think Honda's are more reliable anyway.
My Nissan KA24DET with a T28 and stock internals make 300rwhp on 10psi of boost

I was driving my Nissan 240sx the other day, I saw a MarkIII Supra at a stoplight and he was revving his car. I would have raced him but his car was rusted out pretty bad, I didn't want his chassis to split apart from the launch
