Here is something for all the real nissan fans …
This Nissan website includes many nice concepts and
market Nissan cars most of the pictures are high resolution
…enjoy 
some pics:
check the link for more high resolution pictures and information…
as soon as i saw the first pic, i thought it was a nsx
what the hell is the last pic suppose to be?
a rally car? so ****ing high off the ground
thats wat i thought too…but i think it looks better than the other ones
that’s pretty cool! Nissan design has gone a loooooong way and mostly for the better (shakeshead at the 08 altima coupe…)
the first car is a 1987 Nissan MID4-II…
Thats one of my fav nissans…
There were two versions…MID4 (1985) and MID4 II(1987)
MID4 (1985):
MID4-II (1987):
The rear end of this MID4-II is sooo sexy!!
waaa waa wee waa…yea theyre both hot…i like the MID4 -II better as well
yummy
Also in the last picture its a 1997 Nissan Trailrunner…
Its a 4WD, 2liter engien that makes 260HP at 7000rpm …
This is a very nice car i wish it was actually produced:S
More pics:
yeee i love this car …it’s very unique …
i just found more pics of the MID4-II
45444
drools i wonder if its possible to actually find one of those puppies
i think its possible but not in Canada …but the weird thing is that this car is a LHD …i’ll post some info soon…
The MID4-II In 1987: Nissan knew that this evolution would take a bit longer to refine, and the 1987 Z31 300ZX was the beginning of the change. The Japanese maker began to put in practice all the technology available for them in the form of prototypes, in order not only to amaze the public with the electronics technology they had, but additionally for the purpose of putting them under test conditions. So that they could be used later in production models. That was the main principle in the MID4 prototypes, the technological “key” for Nissan’s aspirations of building an outstanding sports car.
The engine was basically the same as the one the Z32 300ZX would use in 1990, but having 330hp. thanks to a pair of turbos and their intercoolers. The suspensions were directly used in the 90 Fairlady-Z, but not the complex 4WD system, developed with the help of the Austrian producer Steyr-Daimler-Puch.
Nissan management thought that the new Z32 with good tires and suspensions would have good enough roadholding without that all wheel drive system. Of course they considered putting it on the car, however the weight would increase and exterior design would be changed, resulting in rising the car about 2 inches (5 cms.) while changing the line of the hood. So the lucky car that got the system was the Skyline GT-R, a sports car icon in Japan.
Nissan had its doubts weather making the MID4 or not, being the successor of the Z31, but finally they considered that it was too expensive to build. Curiously, three years later, as it happened with original Z’s development, Nissan recovered their interest in the project, but this time they were considering making a Supercar, powered with the Infiniti’s 4.5L V8, although that is another story.
Returning with the 1987 MID4-II, at least three prototypes were built, one ivory white (shown in the Tokio Show), one medium metallic red , and another in titanium metallic gray used for track testing. All of them were left hand drive. I don’t have many more details, but I suppose that the car had many electronic gadgets. As a detail, the man responsible for the MID4-II project was Takoya Noguchi.
Technical data: longitudinal mid-rear Engine, V6 , 2960c.c. (60�), bore+stroke:87+83mm.;24 valves, ECCS injection system with two turbochargers. Compression ratio, 10:1; 330hp. @ 6800rpm ; Torque 39mkg @3200rpm.
For the traction: permanent 4WD system with viscous central coupling. The gearbox was a 5 speed manual. The body was a unit frame with fiberglass panels. It had also the HICAS 4 wheel steering and four disk brakes with ABS. Tires measured 225/50 VR 15. ITs dimensions : 416, 178, 120mm.Wheelbase 244mm.Track f/r :147/154mm. Fuel tank 65 litres. Weight: 1400 kilos. Performances: 295 k.p.h., and 0-100 k.p.h ( 0-62 mph) 4.9sec.
so only 3 ever made…probably daammnn expensive…most likely impossible to get
haha, yea, i would imagine that it’d be pretty hard to get a hold of prototype cars! Nice read though about the MID4.
Man, if Fairlady’s didn’t have a tradition of being FR, it would’ve been cool to see either the Z32/Z33 with the MR configuration
maybe if i win the lottery…then i can hunt down that red one lol
Glad you liked it … …i’ll try to find some more interesting nissan cars soon…
yeeeeeee Z32/Z33 with the MR configuration could be awsome!
damn, nice looking MID 4.
ya too bad they werent put into production, not like i would be able to afford one anyway but still would be nice for the person that could.
The differences from the initial drawings to production models are HUUUGE.
The 350z/Murano preliminary drawings look butt-ugly! I’m glad they had some sort of sane person overriding the artists…

Haha thats what i thought when i saw the drawings…looked soo bad, the front end looked very weird…there was no flow with the structure…at least the 350z looked good when it came out!
