I'll take pictures when I get a chance.
I realize that NISMO is not the Ideal for the job

I am actually thinking of doing something like this later for more efficient snow removal





I'll probably end up doing that once I make enough money with NISMO.

I'm rethinking the offroad/All-Terrain or M/S tires though because they're probably not necessary... I'm sure the Michilin PilotSports that came with the car would be fine... especially since they won't even have to touch any snow since the plow will be clearing a nice clean path before my rear tires get to even touch the snowy pavement.

If the tires don't get enough grip, my car might be more adept for plowing I added an electric locking rear differential so I can avoid the one-wheel wonder burnouts while trying to push that heavy plow on slick surfaces with minimal traction from the PilotSports. I could upgrade the rear suspension to a live rear axel while I'm at it, with leaf springs so that I don't have to deal with breaking half-shafts from all the rigors of plowing taking their toll on the IRS.

Plus, with all the money I'll be making from plowing, these mods will pay for themselves in no time.

^you don't need to worry about all that axle crap.

If you get into a patch of tough snow just back up far enough and get some speed.


Nothing clears snow better then 120mph JDM snow plow.

Why just the front? Put a plow on the side and drift plow JDM style, the car is longer than it is wide, might as well put it to use.

I think the greddy sideskirts would be perfect they sit pretty low and they have the scoop at the rear perfect for picking up snow

Here is what you need to do.

You need to install airbags on your G so you can raise it and lover it when ever you want.

For a snow plow I used a NISMO front bumper.
It is very nice because it does not have any big openings in the front so it plows snow very well and you can control the height and amount of snow you gonna plow with your air suspension.

As for the tires I went with all season Vredestain Ultrac Sessanta............Not the best choice but it worked.

Here's some of the pictures of the setup



Did you capture a ghost in that second pic? Just to the left of the passenger side mirror
