2011 Nissan Murano

All versions of the 2011 Muranos will feature the VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V6, which is rated at 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque.  The well-regarded engine is mated to an Xtronic CVT, and depending upon model is offered in either front-drive or all-wheel-drive configuration.

2011 Nissan Murano's exterior is an altered front end that has already debuted in other parts of the world and is finally making its way to the U.S. Nissan is going for what it calls a "modern art" feel and look. The front fascia features a new grille, more pronounced lines on the lower bumper cover, and redesigned foglight housings. The Murano's signature chromed vertical grille bars are reduced in number and the net effect is a more defined nose that might earn a second look from the local valet.

There is also a new SV trim level slotting above the base S configuration, making the Murano’s trim hierarchy S, SV, SL, and LE. The SV model includes touches like power lumbar on the driver’s seat, a backup camera with seven-inch LCD screen, and iPod and Bluetooth connectivity. An auto-dimming mirror, heated steering wheel, and nine-speaker Bose sound system join the SL model’s standard-equipment list; the Murano LE scores new interior wood accents.

Nissan has added equipment to the various trim levels, including new audio and entertainment gear. Notably, SV and SL models pick up Bluetooth and iPod connectivity as standard equipment. The SL also gets Bose audio as standard.

JAPO Nissan Skyline R34 GT R

The Japo Motorsport has released an upgrade program for the Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R that improves the car’s performances and styling a lot!

The JAPO Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R comes with two GT RS turbochargers with 1.5 bar of boost and HKS made The intercooler, elbows, half pipe, racing suction and chamber kit, injectors, ignition plugs and cylinder head gaskets.

In terms of styling, this Skyline received a new aerodynamics package from Nismo Z which consists of a new front apron, front mudguards, bigger rear wheel housing and an ARC rear diffuser. The car’s interior was also refined with leather and Alcantara upholstery, a new steering wheel from Sparco and new gauges.

The total output of the JAPO Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R is rated at 523 PS and 597 Nm of torque at the wheel. For better handling, the JAPO Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R comes with an ARC strut mounted between the two front strut pillars. The JAPO Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R also comes with Stoptech brakes with 355/35 millimeter discs and four-piston callipers in front as well as 355/32 millimeter discs and two-piston callipers on the rear.
The JAPO Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R also features a new aerodynamics body kit by NISMO Z-tune which includes components (front aprons, front mudguards and rear wheel housing, an ARC rear diffuser.

Japo Motorsport GmbH has announced they will only build 20 units of this incredible streetracer. Each unit start from 89,900 Euros and it will take about 3.5 months to complete.




Press Release

The factory has shown the way: on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the company’s own sports department NISMO (Nissan Motorsports International), in 2004, the Japanese presented a special edition limited to exactly 20 vehicles of the legendary Skyline R34 GT-R, the "Z-tune".
Since the production of the R34 had been stopped three years before, naturally, there were no brand-new cars of this series available at that time. NISMO 20 therefore purchased 20 used cars with low mileage which they dismantled down to their individual components and then re-assembled completely. Up to today the extremely rare Z-tune is known as the spearhead of the R34 GT-R family and was referred to as "the world’s best sports car" for a long time - there are many who still do.

"New cars" built in 1999

It is no wonder that JAPO Motorsport GmbH selected this vehicle as the demo object to start a new field of activity: with the specialised
restoration of Japanese super sports cars the performance specialists from Essen are opening up new markets - with used vehicles in good condition which, after extensive restoration, almost have the feel of new cars. The individual concept of each project enables the construction of absolute rarities.

Let’s get back the vehicle: JAPO Motorsport bought a used Nissan R34 GT-R (constructed in 1999, chassis no. BNR34000500), took it apart down to its basic structure, followed by an extremely complex rebuilding - closely based on the legendary Z-tune model in terms of technology and appearance. The 100 percent restoration of the high performance coupés took 3.5 months, the result being truly breathtaking.

Original Z-tune

Without laying it on thick, original NISMO Z-tune components (front aprons, front mudguards and rear wheel housing) provide the skyline with impressive racing optics. NISMO also offers red rear lights. The expression "Technology made visible" could not be more fitting for anything but the ARC rear diffuser which purists are especially thrilled about due to its edges and naked metal. Apropos naked metal: the bodywork was completely stripped of paint in the immersion bath, subsequently sealed and painted in the original silver "KY0", formerly reserved for the Z-tune.

HKS-Bi-Turbo-Power

Without exception, JAPO Motorsport refined the legendary RB26DETT straight six cylinder engine bi-turbo motor with a cylinder capacity of 2.5 litres cylinder capacity using the finest HKS components. To name but a few, two GT RS turbo chargers are now blowing into the cylinders with powerful 1.5 bar boost, sparking off a true hell fire. The intercooler, elbows, half pipe, racing suction and chamber kit, injectors, ignition plugs and cylinder head gaskets are also made by HKS. An HKS Fcon Pro standalone engine management system is responsible for the combustion process. Due to its ARC-4 inch titanium exhaust system, you will already hear the JAPO-Skyline from far. Performance measurement resulted in powerful 523 PS and 597 Nm - on the wheel!

Traction with the gearbox is enabled due to a considerably resilient HKS clutch. JAPO Motorsport treated the switch box as well as the rear axle differential with additional coolers by ARC for optimised stability. There is no doubt about the HKS Hipermax thread chassis - it has absolute cult status among experts. It is supplemented by an ARC strut mounted between the two front strut pillars, which makes the handling of the coupé even more reliable.

Semi slicks and classy interior v Real NISMO Z-tune 9.5x18 inch five spoke wheels are rotating in the GT-R wheel housing. Once they are heated, the Toyo Proxes R888 semi slicks in 265/35R18 offer an extremely high level of grip which should however not be tested to the limits by inexperienced drivers. The serial braking system of the R34 GT-R is often scolded. However, after the installation of a stoptech brake with 355/35 millimeter discs and four-piston callipers in front as well as 355/32 millimeter discs and two-piston callipers on the rear axle, JAPOS’s "new vehicle" now offers deceleration values to make the passengers’ eyeballs bulge. The interior is sporty, classy and not purist at all. JAPO Motorsport installed leather/alcantara fittings for the front and back seats, the dashboard, the centre console, door and side panels, the columns, the roof liner as well as the rim of the Sparco steering wheel. The NISMO tachometer unit is scaled up to 320 km/h, the large multifunctional display above the centre console was extensively updated and now even includes a lap timer.

By the way: the vehicle shown, the no. 1 of an edition limited to 20 pieces (just like the grand original) is for sale. For EUR 89,900, which is quite appropriate given the elaborate, new construction, the exclusive Skyline could be yours.
