Well, I am gonna give this a try:

Gardena, CA1935 (If we are looking at Datsun since they used to make old trucks, I model old cars for fun and I seen blueprints of Datsun in the 40s so i would say they are found in the 30s)2 doors

Re-read the question... There were Datsuns before that date, but the question was when was NNA founded.

The respondants would post their answers on a hidden area, and the winner would be announced....Now to make it simpler, I'll give what will be more like board work questions...hopefully for your Sunday morning pleasure.... Like the University of Virginia, we will have the honor system...that is please don't look up the answers or copy someone elses, just answer from your Nissan fund of knowledge Ready?

1. Name the city and state where Nissan North America was founded.2. What year?3. How many doors are on a new GTR?

Good luck!

1. Torrance, California is where the first offices were.

2. 1990...Nissan first started selling vehicles here in 1958. Started importing and making Datsun's here in 1960 as Nissan Motor Corporation, USA. NNA was created in 1990 to coordinate Nissan's activities in the US.

3. The Nissan GTR is a coupe with two doors. It also has a fuel door. It all depends on how trick this question is.

hey Rex, I dont really have anything to offer with your nissan history quiz, but your old Q has a 5 speed from a Z32 in it... first 5sp Q45, just thought you might want to know... TOTALLY different car.

I had the opportunity to wail on it on the autocross course in Carlisle...

Took about 3 seconds to get the "feel" of the car, which tells you something about the build - Wes did a great job.

That car is simply a BLAST with a manual trans!

(BTW, I won't mention that on my second lap, I matched the owners' best lap time... )

No... you won't mention that at all.

I recall driving around PA with Wes, and him starting off from a stop in 4th gear... and the Q didn't even really seem to mind. Sooooo smooth.

I'm not guessing because I have no idea. I was thinking the same thing as Matt for question 3: 2 doors unless its some kind of trick question and you are counting the fuel door... the center console door, the glove box door, the trunk, the hood, etc.
