The first generation Nissan Note might look like just another dreary mini MPV, designed only with ferrying the kids to school or picking up groceries in mind. But as time passes on, the second generation looks very different, bringing a new image for this MPV. And to add up to its great looks, the Japanese tuner Impul decided to throw in a couple of their magic touches to the MPV which makes it look even better.
Fancy the Nissan Almera, but looking forward for a wilder version of this new sedan? Then we bring good news as Edaran Tan Chong Motor had just opened the bookings for the much sportier and dynamic Nissan Almera Tuned by IMPUL.
I’ve just stepped out of the Civic Type-R FD2R. After 3 days and over 2000km, the Civic has battered my body with its stiffness, deafened my ears with its scream and won my heart with its character. It was a sad moment to give the car away to Tom but he had a surprise for me to mend my broken heart. He presented me the keys to the Nissan Sylphy and not just any Sylphy it was tuned by renown Japanese tuner and Super GT race team – Impul.

November 9th. Sunto Gun, Shizuoka prefecture. Round 9 of the 2008 SUPER GT took place at Fuji Speedway (1 lap: 4.563kms). In light rain, the CALSONIC IMPUL GT-R (#12 Tsugio Matsuda/Sebastien Philippe), which started on slick tyres after qualifying in twelfth position, took the win.

Making its debut this year, the NISSAN GT-R took seven victories from nine rounds, and in the process won the Driver’s Championship Title.
Amidst thick clouds, 47,100 fans gathered to witness the title-deciding race. At 2:00pm, low-hanging clouds emitting sprinkles of rain made it a gamble for teams trying to make the optimal tyre choice for the start. Many teams expected conditions to deteriorate, thus choosing intermediate tyres. However, TEAM IMPUL principal Kazuyoshi Hoshino insisted on installing slicks. “I based this decision on my many years’ experience racing at Fuji. Matsuda just needed to be patient for the first five laps,” he said. Soon after the race started, the rain stopped and water drained off the circuit, as had been expected.
