Key Details
The Founding Father of NISMO Road Cars: While global enthusiasts immediately look toward the GT-R, true connoisseurs know that Nissan's newly founded motorsport division (established in 1984) chose the nimble B12 platform to debut their very first line of factory warranted street cars. Following a limited run of hatchbacks, this refined 4 door Twin Cam sedan arrived to merge corporate practicality with works level track tuning, making it arguably the rarest and most sought after body shape of the entire initial B12 NISMO trio.
Unmolested Motorsport FEEDBACK: During the 1980s, the B12 'Trad' Sunny was dominating Nissan's consumer sales charts as a highly successful, mass market family car, later spawning sporty, NISMO-tuned enthusiast variants like the 306 Twincam NISMO , RZ-1 Twincam NISMO & this Super Saloon Twincam NISMO. These trio of NISMO variants stand as the literal street manifestation of NISMO’s racing engineering, featuring factory NISMO-tuned stiffened sports suspension and a direct linking 5-speed gearbox built specifically to extract every ounce of performance from the lightweight chassis.
The High-Octane "Red Top" Heart: Sitting proudly in the clean engine bay is the high-revving, 16-valve CA16DE twin-cam power plant. Easily recognized by its iconic red cam cover, this motor is a masterpiece of 80s JDM engineering, offering a visceral mechanical sound and an aggressive powerband that modern turbocharged platforms simply cannot replicate.
Museum-Tier Preservation Level: Finding an 80s JDM classic that hasn't fallen prey to rust, structural panel cutting, or aggressive drifting modifications is a true anomaly. From its straight frame rails to the beautiful original paint depth and crisp bucket seat fabric, this car has clearly lived a highly sheltered, garage kept life under the care of serious collectors.
