Nissan Opens Global Production Engineering Center
The third largest Japanese car manufacture recently announced that its Global Production Engineering Centre is fully operational. The said facility is located at Nissan’s Zama Operations Center in the Kanagawa Prefecture. The said facility will be the crucial link in Nissan’s production all over the world. The Global Production Engineering Centre (GPEC) will be focusing on the production methods used by the different Nissan assembly facilities scattered across the globe. Nissan aims to use the GPEC to develop new production technologies which will ensure that their assembly plants will be producing high quality Nissan vehicles.
Hidetoshi Imazu, Nissan’s Executive Vice President, has this to say with the opening of the Global Production Engineering Centre: “The new GPEC and Global Training Center (GTC) represent long-term investments for Nissan in terms of delivering high-quality products to our customers worldwide. Both facilities are critical to the continued evolution of the Nissan Production Way (NPW) as a proven global standard. As we cut down the development lead time to introduce more new products and build them across the world, it is important that Nissan maintains the high levels of quality that our customers expect.”
Among the tasks that the facility will perform is production trial. This step is important to find out how high the quality of the end product will be at Nissan’s assembly factories. The newly operational facility will also analyze vehicle production. All the tasks performed in all assembly plants will be analyzed by Nissan’s engineers at the GPEC. Production of automobiles as well as other components such as Nissan grille guards, body kits, and other components will also be the concern of the new facility. The production technology that Nissan aims to develop is expected to increase the efficiency and quality of current production techniques used by the company’s numerous assembly facilities.
The opening of the new facility is in connection wit Nissan’s effort to increase its offering in terms of their auto lineup. Last fiscal year saw the company post its first loss since Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn took over. The dismal sales performance of the company is blamed on the scarcity of choice for car buyers. To turn the company around, Nissan announced that they will be offering new car models in the near future. The new engineering center will play a big role in ensuring that these new cars will be produced efficiently and will be of high quality. We can expect that Nissan will be coming up with high quality cars in the near future and this facility will have a big hand in making that a possibility.

Suppose I’m restoring a 1985 Nissan 300zx. Would it be wrong to replace some interior things with after market
Most people want a classic car to be in 100% original factory parts but in the 70′s and 80′s interiors(especially Japanese ones) seemed horrible. I would like to be able to replace things like the audio system, maybe the seats and the steering wheel, maybe a couple of other things. Why do people want cars to be entirely original? After market is usually better in my opinion. I see where people would want stock engine parts and stock rims and bodywork, but why do they want to keep the interior? Someone please enlighten me…
There isn’t much of a market for that car, even in restored condition. Unless the car holds certain personal value for you, evaluate if the car is worth it financially to put through a restoration process. Remember, restoring is to “restore” it to it’s self as it was when new, and thus, it would inappropriate to use non-OEM parts. What you sound like to want to do is to resto-mod the car, which is certainly an alternative to the standard restoration. The problem with resto-modding a car is that everyone’s opinion of what is “better” is different. Some might think “better” consists of cow-print shag carpeting, other’s prefer Italian leather. No matter what one thinks is better, anyone who is into these cars will appreciate a nice, stock version of it, especially if it has been well maintained. Modified cars have a narrower interest group, and thus, are harder to sell, negatively affecting its value.
