Yes, the Hardbody.

I'm concerned as to what the fat chick is trying to do at the front.

Motorboating!

A 240Z with a V8 was stuck behind me in my truck down some backroads in PA a couple of days ago. I felt bad. I really wanted him to pass me.
On a side note, I want to ride PA route 235 on a bike. It's hell in a semi truck, though

Nissan Pulsar GTiR, started my love affair with hatchbacks.




ATTESSA AWD, and 230HP.


Bluebird (U13) SSS is also super cool

AWD and 230HP

R32 GTR is actually my favorite. The paper stats and performance were completely uncorrelated. Nissan trolled the gentleman's agreement.

There's a very unintentionally hilarious documentary called Hands on a Hardbody.  You stand around a Nissan Hardbody, and the last person to remain touching it wins.

Good response!  Although this would be more accurate...



Great motor.  We've had one on the back of the trimaran for 8 years, never once failed.

I'll have to give my vote to the R32 Skyline GT-R.

I drove my buddy's '98 Maxima SE last night. Thing's mint, only has 88k miles on it and it's been in his family since it was new. I really liked it.

[2o6]

I respect these, but I also hate them.

[CJ]

Fuck...I actually have to like a Nissan?

Infiniti G37

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

'88-'92 Maxima SE

[MexicoCityM3]

I think the Sentra SE-R was nice, known here as Tsuru GSR.

GT-Rs of course are icons including the current one. And the first Maxima. Original Pathfinder truck also was nice.

[Speed_Racer]

Aside from the 300ZX and Skyline, I love the old Patrols.


And who can forget this gem

370Z or G35 Coupe

[sportyaccordy]

Its tough for me, cause there are a few truly great Nissans (Z32, R32, KGPC10, S30, S13-15), but a ton that were just great engines dragging around limp or flawed chassises. 1995-2003 Maximas defined that. Definitely more fun than Camrys and Accords of the same vintage, but still, such a huge gulf between the engine + chassis. Engine is still world class. That's one of my favorites though, for sentimental reasons mainly.

Infiniti G is great too. A legitimate game changer and a fun drive with a decent chassis. 350Z was a little too porky + sloppy for its intentions. 370Z is much better but not a favorite for me. 2002-2006 Altima V6 is also a favorite partially because of sentimental reasons, but also cause it really crystallized the genius of Ghosn's cost cutting. Awesome (but even by then old) engine, slightly upgraded chassis, but in the first iterations unforgivably cheap interiors. The doors were paper maiche, the plastics began to wear within months, etc. etc. Somehow they managed to bump up the refinement appreciably by the mid model refresh, but it was still behind the Accord for example.

Other big gripe I have w/Nissan is all the engines we either didn't get at all (SRxxVE, VQ30DETT, RB), or didn't get in the right chassis (where would the 240SX be if it had got the VQ in 1995?). They are one of the weirder mainstream brands for sure, but I kind of like them for that.

[Eye of the Tiger]

They use microscopic oil filters on everything, just like Toyota.

[Raza]

R34 probably.  Most Nissans are junk.

[Onslaught]

They have a few that like like with the G37, 300ZX Twin Turbo and GT-R.

But I'd pick the Datsun 240Z

510 was a good call but again.... somehow an island in the middle of the ocean didn't know about rust
