 Introduction of 2007
Fairlady Z Version NISMO
NISMO, which stands for Nissan Motorsports International, continues to expand both its
lineup of parts and its sales in selected countries. Originally founded in Japan in 1984,
NISMO has established itself as the premier supplier of high-performance aftermarket parts
and accessories for Nissan vehicles. A wholly owned subsidiary of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.,
NISMO also supports Nissan racers with parts and technical assistance.
Based on the new Fairlady Z, the Version NISMO fuses NISMO's extensive racing expertise,
gained through competing in SUPER GT and other race series as the Nissan works team, with
the Autech Japan's extensive experience in manufacturing completely customized vehicles.
The new model 3.8L type RS380 provides a heightened dimension of sporty driving pleasure,
backed by the Fairlady Z's renowned performance capabilities. The custom Version Nissan can be
purchased at Nissan dealers nationwide (for the time being only in Japan) and receives the same
after-sales service as regular Fairlady Z models.
To help enhance driving performance, the Version NISMO's body stiffness has been improved by
increasing the welded area of the body panels and adding additional reinforcement bars and
panels, among other measures.
High-grip Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires have been adopted
to absorb high input forces from the road surface. In addition, the suspension system has
been totally retuned to further boost cornering performance. An optimum balance of handling
and driving comfort has also been achieved by adopting Performance Dampers that effectively
damp force inputs to the body.
The exterior design was developed on the basis of meticulous studies conducted by the Design
Group and the Vehicle Performance Testing Group. A supercomputer was used to run design
simulations based on aerodynamic data collected with SUPER GT race cars.
The distinctive body form obtained as a result provides superior handling and stability,
together with aerodynamic characteristics for creating effective downforce.
Available in five colours: Passionate Orange, White Pearl, Brilliant Silver, Diamond Black,
Burning Red
The interior is also distinguished by its unique, premium-quality ambience, resulting from
the use of exclusive metallic-looking genuine leather trim. Seats are upholstered with a
perforated Alcantara center section that holds the body more firmly during sporty driving.
