Nissan
Displays An Array of Performance Vehicles at 2003 SEMA Show
LAS
VEGAS, NV – Nissan today announced an exciting lineup
to be displayed at the 2003 Specialty Equipment Market Association
(SEMA) Show, set for November 4-7 in Las Vegas. The list includes
a wide range of specially tuned Nissan vehicles, including a mix
of trucks (Titan, Pathfinder Armada and Xterra) and performance-oriented
vehicles (350Z, Altima, Maxima and SE-R Spec-V).
The centerpiece of the display at the Nissan booth (Booth #33933, South Hall,
Upper Level) will be a 350Z modified by NISMO, the premiere supplier of high-performance
aftermarket parts and accessories for Nissan vehicles in Japan. Also of special
interest will be two Titan pickup trucks and two Pathfinder Armada SUVs all modified
by aftermarket partners.
"The SEMA show creates an environment that can help bring our new products to
a new dimension and at the same time can help position our vehicles as products
ripe for aftermarket personalization," said Mark McNabb, vice president and general
manager, Nissan Division. “Our aftermarket potential is becoming more-and-more
exciting: last year we introduced the Z and this year brings the new Maxima and
our full-size offerings – Titan and Pathfinder Armada.”
THE LIST:
NISMO 350Z
The Daytona Blue NISMO R-tune 350Z represents the pinnacle of NISMO performance.

a NISMO R-tune lightweight flywheel and a NISMO R-tune single disk clutch and
clutch cover, and NISMO shift knob, all for increased efficiency and shift feel.
