Nissans @ Sema

[Sydneykid]

As a few guys may be aware I went to the east coast of the US for 5 weeks and dropped in at the SEMA show in Las Vegas on the way back. For those that may not be aware, the annual SEMA do in Las Vegas show is the biggest automotive aftermarket show anywhere in the world. Over 25,000 exhibitors means that it is impossible to see everything in the 4 days that the show is open for, you just hit your personal highlights. I had penty of those, considering that I brought back over 12kgs of brochures and catalogues.

Over the next few days I will attempt to load up some of the 300 or so pictures I took at SEMA and add a few details on my observances. This being the SAU forum, they will be mostly Nissan related with an emphasis on the new stuff that I saw, some of it for the first time.

Hope you find it interesting.

Cheers

My personal favourite Nissan;

With one of these kits, a pair of GTRS's. I like the thought of it, maybe mid next year, I will need a new daily driver by then;

Yep, usually the end of October, early November. Next year is Tuesday, November 4 to Friday, November 7, 2008

The SEMA show is trade only, so make sure you register well before hand. You can't just turn up.

looks like an altima, in the second pic.

also

is that Nitrouz's Z33?

goddamn they love their Z's in the US.

f*k yeah, tip top work SK

its only a matter of time until people start bolting turbos on 350Z over here and you'll actually see them on the streets, i know theres a few going around but i never see any as dailys

[funkymonkey]

350Z's are huge in the US, cos the Z33, the G35 and the RX8 are the only decent RWD japanese sports cars they have available to em atm.

we're kinda spoilt for choice with 2000 - 2002 model R34's, RX7's, S15's, Supra's etc.

I doubt the 350Z revolution will hit Australia as hard as it has hit the US, where its now being used for circuit, street, rice, drift and showpony use. That said there's heeeaps of parts from the US and japan available. 350Z's are oddball in japan... there's lots of parts and support, and lots of tuner built demo cars, but hardly any that are built up on the streets.

Is it just me?..

Or does the US form of modding seem really wanky? Theres something really ugly about it..

The Trust 350 is.. YUMMY!
