It's the last day- about 2 hours left and I think I've pretty much covered everything when someone asks “did you check out the Nissan booth” and I'm like WTF, is it 2008 again? Nissan stopped doing SEMA after breaking the bank relocating their HQ to TN. Guess that investment has finally broken even! While their return was a little on the weak side (this 370Z Nismo safety vehicle and the 2015 GT-R Nismo below), there was no pomp and little circumstance. Surprisingly, they did display on carpet though, not the cardboard boxes I would have expected. Welcome back Nissan.
2015 GT-R Nismo, still a salaciously fine piece of equipment
