Here is a rear shot of the Nissan GT-R Fitted with a brand new Ventross body kit. The Ventross Nissan GT-R features the same high quality aerodynamics engineering and construction expected from parent company Vorsteiner. The carbon fiber aero components for the Nissan GT-R is slated for market release on June 1st , 2009.

Here is a image that cault my eye while browsing the web. I believe the first car on the left is a Nissan Skyline or a 2000GT as wikipedia says. The car on the right is a Datsun 240z.
According to 370Z.com, Nissan is developing a plug-in hybrid version of its Nissan 370Z for the 2011 MY. Normally, we'd call this idle speculation, but the world is topsy-turvy these days, so we'll play along.
Nissan has previously stated its intent to release a hybridized version of its Fuga Sedan, which is the Infiniti M in the US, but if these sources are correct the plan is to drop it into the Z the following year. The system would centered around an NEC-sourced lithium-ion battery and an electric drive motor in parallel with the internal combustion engine, each getting their own separate clutch. The car would get plug-in capability which would help push the fuel economy up to a projected, and darn-respectable 35 MPG in combined use. If it comes to pass, the 370Z hybrid would be the first large scale hybrid sports car available and will make us rethink our hybrid smugness-o-meter
We've heard about the Nissan GT-R's transmission trouble, but how much abuse will the engine take? Not a 150 shot of NOS on top of 600 wheel HP, that's for sure.
Samurai Speed already found the limits of its transmission, blowing that when they attempted a modified-engine, launch control-on, drag start. Now it appears they've found the limits of the engine: 600 HP at the wheels plus an extra 150 HP worth of Nitrous.
What's next for the GT-R-destroying tuner? All forged internals and 1000 HP. We'll see how long that engine holds together.

An interior shot of what looks like a Nissan Siliva, stripped and prepared for drift. Im liking the 2 handbrakes and the battery behind the drivers seat to help the centre of gravity a little.
Nissan 350z

The Nissan 350z is a proper sports car for the everyman. If we had just one sentence to describe the Nissan 350Z, that'd be it. While there are plenty of unobtainable sports cars out there to drool over, the 350Z's relatively compact dimensions, rear-wheel drive, two seats, muscular engine and sharp handling come at a price that real people can actually afford.

At 10:30 a.m. United Arab Emirates time (GMT+4), expert driver Mohammed Ben Sulayem who is FIA Vice President and President of the Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE pointed the aggressive nose of the Nissan GT-R at the mountain, set the car's electronics to full launch mode and dropped the twin clutches to unleash 485PS (357kW) through the car's permanent all-wheel drive system. Just a few minutes later having negotiated the mountain's 22 corners and 7kms, Ben Sulayem crossed the line to set a first ever official time for ascending the mountain of 3 minutes and 39.008 seconds.
"That was fun!" exclaimed Sulayem at the conclusion of the run. "I have been familiar with the development of the GT-R for sometime now and to achieve this first ever officially recorded time on the Jebel Hafeet mountain road is a fitting event to mark the regional launch of what I believe is one of the most capable performance cars ever developed. This car is true to its design philosophy of being a super car for anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Timed "hill climb" events like these have been popular - especially in Europe - since the very early days of the motor car and when Nissan set a new record time around the Nordschliefe at the Nürburgring we immediately thought a similar feat in our region would be appropriate...and so it has proved," he concluded.
The Jebel Hafeet mountain road on the outskirts of Al Ain in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi rises approximately 4,000 ft (1,219 m) with 22 corners and three lanes (two climbing and one descending). The road scales the mountain and ends at a scenic parking lot and passes a hotel and a palace on the way. A seven-km stretch of the mountain road was used for the GT-R Jebel Hafeet Challenge.
For this very special event, Nissan received the permission of the Abu Dhabi authorities to temporarily close the road, while under the auspices of the Automobile & Touring Club of the UAE (ATCUAE) the closed road was monitored by marshals to Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) safety standards. Official timing of the run was also conducted to regional FIA standards.
Ohio based Switzer Performance Innocation has developed a Nissan GT-R performance package called P700 that supposedly delivers more than 700-HP on 93-octane gas.
Tests so far have shown that the street-legal performance package does infact go beyond the limits of the standard ECU calibration, but 700-HP? For real? Sort of. In the end, with P700 package installed, the SPI Nissan GT-R manages to produce more than 626 all-wheel HP with 383 lb-ft of all-wheel torque. Impressive, but I’d like to see them bump it up just a little bit more.
Switzer’s P700 GTR package should set you back a decent USD $16,650.

this picture of a Nissan Silva, was taken at the DWYB at Santa Pod uk. Maybe its the new "british" way of drifting without even looking where your going!
