The Nissan Primera in the first series P10 came in the fall of 1990 as a direct successor to the Nissan Bluebird on the market to replace it in Europe. Available was a sedan or hatchback and a station wagon. This model was also sold in the US as the Infiniti G20.
The Primera was developed and produced as the first model by Nissan specifically for the European market. This first appeared in October 1990 at the Paris Motor Show.
The Primera achieved has been redeveloped, whereby a very good handling could be achieved. The front suspension of the Primera sedan is a hybrid construction. The sedan and the combination variants are built on different platforms and have little in common except for the name. In fact, the Traveler (W10 series) is based on the Japanese Nissan Avenir and therefore does not have the same chassis design as the saloon. Already in June 1993, the Primera received a small revision, in which the safety equipment was expanded and the engines were revised.
In January 1995, all variants of the Primera received a comprehensive facelift. The safety equipment was further improved; driver airbags were now standard on board. Additional passenger airbags as well as belt tensioners were also available and in higher quality equipment (SE, eGT) part of the series.
Visible were the face-lifted sedan models on a modified grille with chrome inserts and modified, lower-drawn front and rear bumpers. Also, the taillights a more modern look. In the front apron now two fog lights were integrated. The last Primera models of the P10 series met the emission standard Euro 2, but it was partly retrospectively a conversion of the Euro-1 engines with a cold run control (KLR) possible.
The estate version received a modified front bumper, another grille and standard ABS. In June 1996, the Traveler was again slightly revised to produce it as a gap filler until the fall of 1997. A detachment model has only appeared after the facelift of the next generation of Primera as WP11-120. This second facelift is recognizable by a modified radiator grille and additionally has passenger airbags and belt tensioners.

For the market launch in October 1990, three different gasoline engines with an output between 66 kW and 110 kW and a diesel engine without turbocharger with 55 kW were available. The gasoline engines were equipped depending on the version with carburettor or port injection, but were all provided in a revamp of the engine range in June 1993 with a multipoint injection. The two-Liter 16V with 85 kW was offered from April 1991 with four-wheel drive, but only in the two sedans. As an engine only Nissan engines were offered, which were designed as a four-cylinder. The gasoline engines have 16 valves, which are driven by a timing chain via two overhead camshafts, these engines were extremely sturdy and mileages of well over 300,000 km were not uncommon. The diesel engine, however, has only eight valves, which are operated by an overhead camshaft. The valve is controlled by a toothed belt.

The Nissan Titan is a pickup from the manufacturer Nissan, which is sold exclusively in North America. It was introduced in 2004 and shares the platform with the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX.
The first-generation Titan has a 5.6-liter V8 with 227 kW (309 hp) at 4900 rpm and 514 Nm torque at 3600 rpm. For model year 2007, the engine power increased to 236 kW (321 hp) at 5200 / min and 522 Nm at 3400 / min. The vehicle is available with either rear or four-wheel drive. Like all pickup trucks, the Titan in extended cab and crew cab versions rests on a longitudinal chassis with a solid rear axle (for better towing capacity).
The transmission is a 5-speed automatic transmission It's also the only full-size pickup from the time to offer a standard limited-slip rear differential. It also features a transfer case for off-road use.
Interior space is the Titan's best selling point but Compared to its rivals, the Titan falls short in terms of interior finish, where the materials feel cheap. Build quality is also imperfect, with several parts rattling inside the cabin. But no other crew-cab pickup offers as much passenger room. You can easily accommodate five passengers with ample head, leg and shoulder room. And for easier access, the doors on the extended-cab version open 168 degrees, providing plenty of clearance. When the rear bench seat isn't in use, it folds up against the back wall, and the flat floor maximizes interior storage space behind. The interior of the bed, the exterior tool box housed in the driver-side rear fender, the flat load floor when the rear bench seat is raised, and the factory-sprayed bed liner that prevents the rust and warping associated with standard drop-in liners. Furthermore, the optional navigation system allows vacationers to tow a trailer without the risk of getting lost, while the standard traction control system and optional lateral stability system (VDC) ensure safer driving.
It is available with two wheelbases and Crew Cab (double cab) or King Cab (with 2 m long cargo area), partly it was criticized because no two-seater cab (regular cab) was offered, this has changed with the appearance of the second generation.
Nissan challenged its engineers to fit the highest-performing engine of the time under the hood. After a few months of work, a new dual overhead cam engine dubbed the VK56 was born. For marketing purposes, this engine bears the more evocative name "V8 Endurance." This V8 engine produces 305 horsepower, and its more-than-generous torque peaks at 379 lb-ft Nissan tuned the exhaust system differently to distinguish the Titan from the Armada on the road . It is also worth noting that the torque kicks in at 2,500 rpm; consequently, the beast is quick off the mark. All this power is delivered through a 5-speed automatic transmission.

The Nissan E20 Caravan (Urvan) was a truck that Nissan had offered as a minivan or normal type box van since the 1970's .
History
The development of the caravan was based on a change in the road traffic regulations of Japan in 1970, according to which minibuses in the future only up to a passenger number of 11 people with the normal car normal driving license were allowed. Thus, Nissan needed a different model with a development of Nissan after acquired the Prince Motor Company and was designed for a passenger capacity of 15 people. So, this built on the truck chassis of the larger Prince Homer was based, the model was technically and visually revised and presented as a 1973 Nissan Caravan.
The Datsun Urvan E 20 was also built with 3, 5, 7 or 9 seats. This was especially popular in Europe, and as fire departments and ambulance versions in certain countries. Its handling is a bit difficult as it requires high steering power and these early versions did not come with power steering. The centre shift lever was slightly bent. It was almost 80 cm long, so there were long gearshifts, but the transmission in the petrol models had five gears, which was not common in Europe at the time. There were in-line four-cylinder gasoline engines with 1,596 cc, 1,798 cc and 1,998 cc and a 2,200 cc diesel engine. From 1976, the Homy was then also largely the revisions of the caravan almost identical. As Datsun Urvan, the caravan was offered outside of Asia for export.
After Nissan decided to discontinue the Datsun brand, the model became the Nissan Urvan. In Australia and other markets, this was sometimes offered as Nissan Kingvan.
