Nissanβs history actually begins with Datsun. On July 1st 1911, Masujiro Hasimoto founded the Kaishinisha Motor Car Works in Tokyo. In 1914 they produced their first car, the DAT. Form 1923 to 1925 the company operated under the name Lila. The company was renamed to DAT Motorcar Co in 1925. In 1926 DAT merged with Jitsuyo Jidosha Co and became DAT Jidosha Seizo Company Limited Automobile Manufacturing Company Limited. In 1931 DAT produced a smaller car, the Datsun Type 11 (son of DAT). The last syllable was later changed to sun because son also meant loss.
In 1928 Yoshisuke Aiwaka founded Nihon Sangyo. The company was abbreviated as Nissan on the Tokyo stock exchange in the 1930s. The company included Tobata Castings which absorbed DAT Jidosha Seizo in 1933. This was the first incorporation of automobile manufacturing into the Nissan name. In 1934 Nissan Motor was separated from Tobata as an automobile company which produced its first 44 Datsuns in 1935 (all exported). Prior to and during WWII, Nissan produced trucks, airplanes, and engines for the Imperial Japanese Army. In December of 1937, the companyβs name was changed to Manchuria Heavy Industries. In 1944 it was changed to Nissan Heavy Industries. A license with Austin Motor company allowed Datsun, and later Nissan, to produce Austin 7s and utilize Austin patents for development. This provided a starting point for success that Nissan enjoyed through the joint efforts until the end of the 1960s. Nissan started production in Mexico in 1966 to keep up with world-wide demand, and expanded to Australia and Taiwan shortly after, opening the first American factory in Smyrna, Tennessee in 1983.
The Nissan Skyline (first produced in 1957) was the predecessor to the GT-R with the first GT-R produced in 1969. This version had an S20 2.0 liter incline-6 that was a de-tuned version of the R380 race car engine. The 2000GT-R was created to win the JAF Grand Prix and succeeded, starting a long success for Nissan in motorsports and racing. The modern GT-R was launched in August 1989 featuring all-wheel Super HICAS steering, all wheel drive and a turbo inline-6 with 280hp and 260 ft-lbs of torque.
