The R35 Nissan GT-R has been around since I was in first-year high school. Despite having its “Sweet 16” on December 2023, the latest iteration of this iconic Japanese supercar still has what it takes to stick it to the likes of what Europe has to offer. Indeed, the R35’s long-time rival has been the Porsche 911 Turbo, which has been revamped over three generations (997, 991 and the current 992).

We did a little digging and found that the UAE Ministry of Economy issued the recall for 53 Territory units sold there because the steering column bracket could detach from the car’s cross beam due to an incorrectly welded joint. “When a steering column

Say Nissan in the Philippines, and you’ll almost always get compliments about the brand’s superb air-conditioning systems. Given the government’s recent announcement of an El Niño alert, which is expected to prolong the country’s sweltering dry spell, being in a Nissan might be a godsend – unless you have a Nissan Kicks e-POWER, that is. Problems with the Kicks e-POWER’s air-conditioning system have been reported as early as January 2023, with owners claiming total air-con failure despite their

Nissan has started making waves locally by introducing the Kicks e-POWER, an electric crossover with a gasoline generator. The Japanese carmaker is set to go further in the electric revolution by debuting a concept electric vehicle (EV) on its official YouTube channel on Feb. 2, 2023. “Join us on February 2 to see what happens when virtual becomes physical,” the company said in the livestream description. “Discover how our latest concept car takes zero-emissions mobility to the max!” The placeho
