Every part is made in Japan...I don't think there is a Nissan PLANT here in North America...

Hell even the lettering on the caps in the engine are in english and Japanese... lol

the maxima and the pathfinder are the only two current nissans that are fully manufactured in japan and then sent to the us.

Smyrna, Tennessee ... the Altima is assembled there for sure but not sure which others (Sentra, Frontier, etc.). Maxima and Pathfinder are assembled in Japan (as yongjun stated). I think the Z is gonna be done in Japan too.

Nothing special about Japan. Scan the 5th gen forum for build quality complaints.
