    Nissan GT-R Toolbox, Just In Time For Godzillamas

    What do you get for the Nissan GT-R owner that has everything except a Snap-On toolbox customized with an image of their car printed on the side of it? A Snap-On toolbox customized with an image of their car printed on the side of it. We just got the flyer from Nissan advertising this toolbox, which proclaims the ten-drawer, double-bank drawers are being offered exclusively to GT-R owners, much to the disappointment of Nissan Rogue and Titan owners. There's no word on the cost for this accessory, but we'd guess it'll come in somewhere around the price of the Nissan Versa 1.6S. Oh, and using it will probably void your warranty.

    Nissan Gets Ballsy, Breaks Out Bone-Stock GT-R For SEMA

    You see some rare, one-of-a-kind ABS plastic carbon fiber sheetmetal on the SEMA show floor, but nothing is less common in Vegas this time of year than a completely stock example of one of the hottest cars on the planet. That's right: Nissan elected to bring a bone-stock GT-R to SEMA, almost as a challenge to the customizers on-site. "Blank canvas, boys. Whatcha gonna do now?" it taunts, no doubt causing the creative wheels to turn even faster than when confronted with someone else's interpretation of the car. Well played, Nissan. Well played. Also, considering mods apparently void the warranty, we should have expected it. More »
