It is just a bad translation-- this is Nissan's Heritage Garage (aka DNA garage) located in an old manufacturing facility called Zama (which used to make Datsun 1200s and Nissan Sunny's) near Yokohama.

I was fortunate enough to visit this facility in 2002. Back then, visitors had to get a special invitation from Corporate Nissan (which took us 6-months to secure!) Now it is more open to the public, but you do still have to have a reservation to visit.

A couple pics from 2002-- it looks much nicer now:

I went in March, if you’re ever nearby, it’s a great place. They’ve cleaned it up since Michael went :)
I remember when no one wanted the 1500s......

The bride had a 77 liftback. No wonder I liked the look of it. It does echo a Z a bit.
