NISMO to Open Aussie Outlet

Nissan Motorsports and Customizing Co, together with Nissan Oceania, has confirmed a multi-phase plan to expand the NISMO brand’s presence in Australia.

This means enhanced local access to authentic NISMO parts, accessories, heritage support, technical expertise and customer experiences.

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

“NISMO represents one of the most authentic expressions of Nissan’s passion for performance, innovation and customer excitement,” said Ivan Espinosa, President and CEO, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

“As we advance our long-term vision of mobility intelligence for everyday life, we will continue to deliver new experiences to our customers. The expansion of the NISMO brand in markets such as Australia is an important step in bringing exciting experiences to customers who value performance and authenticity.”

The announcement coincides with the visit of Yutaka Sanada, President and CEO of NMC and global head of the NISMO brand, to Sydney to visit a GT R Festival, a visit that reaffirms Nissan’s commitment to Australia as a priority market for performance, heritage and enthusiast engagement.

Sanada said: “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.”

NMC was formed in 2022 by integrating Nissan’s motorsports and customization subsidiaries, uniting the NISMO brand’s performance and motorsports activities with AUTECH’s customization expertise.
