Nissan Pathfinder / Terrano Turbo
BRE inspired livery | Volk Rays TE37 | BMX
Japanese Nostalgic Cars recent article about the resto-modded Acura SLX triggered all the right feelings. Classic body-on-frame 4×4 design, modern suspension and drivetrain plus all the amenities not available back in the days. A surefire recipe to get me interested. When JNC posed their question about the reader’s resomod SUV ideas, I booted photoshop and began dreaming. What I eventually came up with, is a more or less timeless Nissan Terrano WD21 with a lift kit and six-lug, off-road spec Volk Rays TE37 wheels, finished in gold and shod with Toyo tires. Most viewers will have recognized the color scheme of the livery instantly, but it has a twist to it. The colors from the famous \\ BRE \\ design have been inverted and instead of two stripes, there are three. Both Datsun 240Z and 510 Coupé had two side windows, so I decided to mimic the 4×4’s three windows in the livery design. Custom bumpers and a roof rack with a bicycle finish off the look.

Recently a friend and I discussed which OEM wheel has the best design. We agreed on the deep dish five-spoke Mitsubishi Starion wheel and thought it wouold look good on most vehicles. Just for fun and because I wanted to chop a V6 Nissan anyway, I fitted them on a Nissan Maxima J30. Just a quick photoshop chop with lowering, larger diameter wheels, replacing chrome with shadow line parts, window tint and deleting the rear door handles.
