Upcoming Update to the Nismo?

TOKYO — Nissan's Nismo and Autech divisions will join the parent in presenting a variety of customized production models at the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon.

Anchoring the stand at the annual Salon (January 13-15) is the 2013 Nissan GT-R Pure Edition with optional Track Pack (a Japan-only package for now), along with the Skyline 55th Limited Edition sedan, which features aero body add-ons and S-tune components.

The Nismo display will be crowded with special editions of the Juke, the Leaf and the Fairlady Z.

The Juke Nismo Concept from the recent 2011 Tokyo Auto Show is lower and wider than the standard production model, while the Leaf Nismo Concept gets a subtly styled body kit with larger wheels and tires. The Leaf Nismo RC racer debuted earlier this year at the 2011 New York Auto Show, while the Fairlady Z Nismo gets additional bodywork and appearance upgrades.

Autech has tuned and prepped special versions of Nissan's Japan-market people movers, including the NV350 Caravan Rider, the Elgrand Rider High-Performance Spec Black Line and the Serene Rider Performance Spec Black Line.

Inside Line says: Not much here that hasn't been previously displayed in Japan and overseas.

Anyone know anything about this?

Nope but I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

Probably some vents.

Still over priced.

For 2013, the NISMO needs to be 380hp and our regular Z's need to be 360hp. I won't benefit from the upgrade but at least our Z's will be more respectable. A certain budget company is coming out with a 345hp coupe and the HP battle must be fought. I would also like to see further weight reduction in the Z. Even if its just 32 lbs so we can hit the 3200lb even mark on base manuals.

i'd want that over a BS face-lift. The Z's are still the hottest looking affordable cars on the road.

To be honest, I feel even though they are competitive price-wise, they are technically different categories for cars. One is a more raw, lighter 2-seater sports car, and the other one is bigger, heavier, and more for the family person who still wants a sporty way of getting around.

Sorta a different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
