Yes, Dakar '14 isn't even here yet and there are already vehicles being built for Dakar '15. The owner of this vehicle raced in '13 and then went home to SA and requested a whole new vehicle be built for himself. Just thought it might be interesting to follow along on a build/prep/testing of a...

Regent racing fielding six Navaras at the first event of the South African Offroad Championship this weekend. Not often you see so many high performance Navaras in one place! http://nismostuff.blogspot.com/2013/03/awesome-photo-of-five-racing-navaras.html

all complete and shipping this week along with its lights and skidplate. Should bolt up nicely. http://nismostuff.blogspot.com/2013/02/front-bumper-done-shipping-soon.html

Very close, mine will have an additional bar over top of the LEDs but you get the idea... http://nismostuff.blogspot.com/2013/01/front-bumper-lights-update.html

Being crafted by my favorite shop in SoCal...can't wait to get this and the accompanying lights on...should make me safer and perhaps faster (couldn't be slower) at night as well as give me some protection in the front...

Not the best results, but could have been a lot worse. We finished and didn't do too much damage to the vehicle... http://nismostuff.blogspot.com/2012/08/rally-west-virginia-2012.html Also in truck video of the longest night stage in North America which includes our biggest off of the event...

Checking my phone every two seconds, waiting for results, fingers and toes crossed, all from over 100 miles away...This is more stressful than actually racing the damn truck... Whew...Day 1 is over...

I believe so. I haven't seen any other Frontiers/Navaras here with these. Custom, imported from Spain and a high end racing wheel. Losing 2 pounds of unsprung weight at each corner should really improve things as well... NISMO Stuff: A First in North America?

Well, 3rd in class that is, was the 4th 2WD vehicle in the event and 7th overall including the AWD/4WD vehicles. Good thing is we bested both of the other trucks that raced, putting Nissan on top in the truck category. Brief story here: NISMO Stuff Frontier at Sandblast Rally 2012...

OK, first of the many videos from the event. This is of one of my many driving errors, overcorrecting a corner here and ending up in a swampy ditch...This is from one of our two externally facing cameras. NISMO Stuff: NISMO Stuff Frontier Video of Off...

For the NISMO Stuff Frontier...Great Stage Rally race in the hills and dirt and rocks of the NY/PA border area. Story here: NISMO Stuff: 2nd Place At International Rally New York!!
