I'd like to hear the Japanese version of this.
>> I’m willing to bet the Japanese version sounds much more urgent and serious lol
You be the judge [0], in a US spec LHD Z31 no less.
There is a whole market for these kind of things, and Nissan Japan has been well aware of this. Check out the aftermarkets try at this anime sounding DASAI unit in an S15 [1].
Nissan JP took it even further when it announced its e-Power system and marketed a sort of anime waifu option as a co-pilot. I can't remember which it was, but it was really strange to see what was once a niche thing only geeks did in order to out-JDM/USDM each other on the internet or car meets to that.
Still, it's pretty interesting to see how quick Nissan were to spend resources on this when they realized there was a market for non-living based co-pilots. Dasai made one called Mochi [1] which you mount on your steering wheel which is a pretty innovative, low-tech alternative aimed at the tuner market.
It's kind of funny in a sad way, and know I'm going to sound old; but I'd rather spend money on defi gauges or tires to shred than these pointless gadgets as 50% of the time I ran mountain/track were in groups.
