The finish was recognized by old car owners

Nissan Automobile Technical College is known for producing high-profile customized cars, and at the Nostalgic 2 Days event in February 2024, students from the customization department displayed the ‘SETO’ and ‘I’m ｍarch’, which have many old car elements. This section looks at the unique customization points of the students, which surprised the teaching staff.

‘I’m march’ incorporates the students’ taste in fashion

The Nissan Automobile Technical College exhibited two vehicles, the SETO and I’m march, at the Nostalgic 2 Days held at Pacifico Yokohama on 17-18 February 2024. The two vehicles have already been featured in various media, so we took a closer look at the customization points unique to the students, which surprised the teaching staff.

Let’s start with ‘I’m march’. This vehicle was based on the K11 March Cabriolet, with the SR311 Datsun Fairlady as its motif.

The teachers thought that if the emphasis was on the SR311 Fairlady’s atmosphere, a modern GT wing would not be fitted. However, the students put in a taste of the modern driving style. This is evident in the seats, whereas they would normally have opted for bucket seats to match the old car, they opted for the latest Recaro full bucket seats.

And the teachers were most surprised by the wheels. RS Watanabe is the standard for this type of customization, but the students chose Rays TE37s. The white-colored TE37s were an excellent match for the fashionable light blue body color chosen by the female students.

Because of the students’ sense of coordination, the motifs of the famous Fairlady cars of yesteryear and modern customization elements were mixed perfectly.
