Year 2008 is the fourth in the row since we organise annual "Scenic Gun Ball Runs"

breathtaking Alpine country side of Germany and Austria. Eight cars - 280Z, 280ZX,
300ZX 350Z Coupe and 350Z Roadster - are going to form the Zed convoy in this year
and leave the country by end of July for enjoying the pleasure of collective driving
experiences and the natural beauties of the Charintian Alps ...

| Zed Tuning
Factory on the other side of the known Univers |
| During my recent visit to Australia, I had the opportunity to sniff around one
of the most highly regarded tuning facilities that Sydney had to offer. Unique Autosports deals
heavily in Z32 modifications and repairs, so it's not surprising that they know what works and
what doesn't when it comes to upgrading a 300ZX.

Highlights of the Nissan Exhibit at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show |
| |
TOKYO (Oct. 10, 2007) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., will present
four show vehicles that incorporate new and exciting ideas for future models at
the upcoming 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. The four concept cars include the "Pivo 2,"
which presents a new connection between car and driver, with an "always enjoyable,
everywhere convenient" state-of-mind; and "Round Box," a youth-oriented compact
convertible that provides occupants with a unique sensation of speed and
exhilaration.
Nissan's Tokyo Motor Show exhibit is built around three message pillars that
represent the company's direction: "Friendly Innovation," "Passionate Driving"
and "Emotive Design." As demonstrated through the features of each concept car,
"Friendly Innovation" provides a new relationship between the car and driver;
"Passionate Driving," one of Nissan's long-standing strengths, brings new
levels of driving pleasure and excitement; while "Emotive Design" strongly
appeals to consumers' visual sensibilities.
Nissan will also display, as promised in October 2001, the production
version of the all-new Nissan GT-R. The details of the GT-R will be announced
on October 24.

inspired by the future generations, engaged by their anime movies, and
computer generated "chat" world of internet.
All others ...the heavy weight Nissan funs ...we may have to wait till

Detroit (Januar 9, 2006)
There's not much to do in Detroit on the
second week of January. You've got ice fishing, ice skating, ice sculpting and the Detroit auto
show. Who wants to go even outside when it's below 50 degrees so the Detroit auto show is the only
reason for everyone to be in the Motor City. Not only is it warm inside Cobo Hall, there will be
no less than three dozen all-new concept and production vehicles making their world debuts.
