I don't feel like Nissan ever really solidified thier position within Supercars - always talk of undecided future commitment etc. Plus I feel they never really quite made an impact with fans. Racing an Altima may go a ways to explaining that...

The Altima was a dead duck in Australia from the word go , a new player in a dying market was a pretty dumb move proved by the complete lack of sales (did the public actually buy them as I have only seen them as rentals) , Is there a real following for Nissan in Australia ? other than the GTR and Navara/Pathfinder nothing else seems to sell , even the Patrol is down to 10% of Landcruiser sales , perhaps Mazda or Hyundai would be a good fit for Kelly Racing if they could convince them to throw their hat into the ring , they managed to entice Nissan so probably worth a go.
