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.

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.

Makes Tight ass Drift carz such as Silvia. And other Dope cars such as Skylines and Zs
