The Greatest Nissan Garage in the World: Nissan Zama Heritage Collection is Nismo Paradise
Рет қаралды 130,181
Күн бұрынThis. Is. Paradise. The Nissan Zama collection is the single greatest garage of Nissans in one place, all in absolute mint condition - everything from a bone stock seafoam green s13 Silvia, to the Fairlady Z racecars of the 70s, to cars you might have only ever seen in Gran Turismo. Larry and the Autofocus squad head over and absolutely geek out over all the Nismo sheet metal (and carbon) all under one roof.

Is it just me, or the Z32 really IS underappreciated? Am I wrong to think so? To only have 2 of those cars showcased in such a prestigious Nissan museum, IN Japan nonetheless. Especially knowing all what the Z32 has accomplished in the racing world...I'm very surprised.

16:50 it’s a 1999 British touring car that won the championship that year with Laurent aiello. The car weighed around 900kg. This was the height of the supertourer era and it would have cost nearly £1million to build the car. The car had a reverse head which was used to help make the power. Carbon fibre was used everywhere! The engine was literally an inch from the ground! The driver of that car david Leslie sadly died in a helicopter crash a few years back.

Im 36 now. Growing up in New Zealand, these cars were all pretty much daily drivers. I can honestly say I have seen most of these cars in person. Personally owning 5 x s13 chassis, n14 gtir, c34 Laurel, 2x datsun 260c and my friends and family have owned Maximas, Ceffys, Skylines, etc. In all fairness, they are now becoming hard to get here and cost 20 x the amount they did when I was whipping them. I remember buying one of my s13s for $1800 nzd (approx 1100usd). Now similar models sell for $20k
