The plan starts with the creation of NISMO Performance Centers in Australia, making the market one of the first outside Japan to bring NISMO Omori Factory expertise closer to local customers.

These centers will provide a direct link to NISMO’s Omori Factory in Japan, support advanced vehicle restoration programs, and be staffed with factory-certified NISMO Meisters backed by NISMO’s global expertise.

The first local NISMO Performance Center is targeted to open at Nissan Ferntree Gully in Victoria in the second half of 2026, with additional locations to be announced.

The announcement corresponds with the visit of Yutaka Sanada, President and CEO of Nissan Motorsports & Customizing and global head of the NISMO brand, to Sydney ahead of this weekend’s GT R Festival.

“NISMO’s global expansion is about bringing the brand closer to customers in the right markets, with the right products, services and experiences. Australia is a natural priority because of its mature performance culture, strong GT R community and clear appetite for authentic NISMO heritage, performance parts, technical expertise and motorsport-driven experiences,” Sanada said.
