2013 Nissan GT-R
Yet again, Nissan has introduced a more revived and upgraded model of the legendary GT-R. No, they haven’t done any exterior cosmetic upgrades yet. But, they have surely have done some fiddling here and there. For the 2013 model year (2014 for the US), they have done quite a few upgrades underneath the hood, some of which include – improved air intake efficiency, reduced air flow resistance, improved exhaust emissions. The fuel injectors have been replaced this time, for the torque increase in between the 4,000-6,000 RPM range. Which also increases the feel of acceleration and speed together into the …

Nissan 370z facelift: This is it
Just a while earlier to Paris Auto Show where Nissan has planned the debut of its new 370z due for Europe, Nissan has released pictures onto the web. There are not a lot of changes made in terms of styling or design as you can see, but two new colors have been added to 370Z: Midnight Blue and Magma Red, alongside, we have new 18- and 19-inch wheels. But if you’re wondering how to tell apart the pre-facelift from the post-facelist version than the best way to do so is that the post-facelist version (2013) comes with red brake calipers …

Miss Fairlady is not your 350z actually
For a long while, I have wondered but never actually went digging to know why is Nissan’s 350z called the Fairlady Z, turns out, there were many more and for that matter, Nissan has produced a video showing the actual Fairladies, the Nissan Fairladies. Back in the day, when Datsun was introducing the Fairlady (which would today become the “Z” range of cars), it hired and trained women to help sell them. The video is not about the car but as the title reads ‘Miss’, it is about the women who were hired to help sell them. Introduced as a …

BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, GM and Ford are allegedly linked to illegal logging and slavery in Brazil
BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, GM and Ford are learned to be sourcing out their materials from Brazil which does illegal logging and slave labor to produce the pig-iron. Although all these automakers are potentially leaders in the race of producing green cars to protect the environment of our planet, however these automakers have been found connected with companies that produce pig-iron through illegal deforestation of Amazon and force labor.

Brazil is a major exporter of pig-iron, and reports issued …

Dubai Sheikhs push Nissan Juke-R into limited production
When Nissan UK executed the project of converting a normal shopping trolley into a uber racing machine, they took Nissan GT-R’s parts like the engine, electronics, drivetrain and transmission and put them into the Juke. Which probably is thought as the ugliest car in the current Nissan line up. And then the looks became secondary as the Juke became Juke-R, an ultimate track racing crossover SUV which apparently showed Mercedes Benz SLS AMG, Gallardo and 458 Italia the trails of dust as it moved faster than all three. But Nissan never had any plans to put the Juke-R into production …

What happens in Jhal, does not stays in Jhal
How do I begin this, the rally bug is addictive to say the least! Desert devil and I were remembering our words after last years rally. Yaar this track is awful, real car breaker, its too cold at night, it’s too dusty, it’s too far (return journey of 26 hours driving continuously) but we have done it, so it’s like “been there, done that”. However, it was our first and last Jhal Magsi Rally participation but, the true meaning of addiction is that the moment it was announced for this year we both said, I am going definitely. As usual …
