Nismo Nick prepared two Nissan Pathfinder-based projects for SEMA
Automotive enthusiast Nick Sherr prepared the Trackfinder and Trailfinder for SEMA 2026 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Pathfinder. One received a supercharger and a manual transmission, while the other got a V8 engine and off-road equipment.
Sherr built both projects on the R51-generation Pathfinder platform, completely transforming the body and interior. The exterior design of the vehicles references the current D41-generation Nissan Frontier.
The Trackfinder is equipped with a 4.0-liter V6 engine featuring a Z1 Off-Road supercharger and UpRev tuning. The team claims 501 horsepower at the wheels; the engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, Centerforce clutch, and flywheel. The project also includes wheels, Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Season tires, a carbon fiber hood, and a quad exhaust system.
The Trailfinder is designed for off-road use: it features a VK56 V8 engine, Z1 Off-Road Titan-swap X-Pro suspension, reinforced brakes, an air intake, a snorkel, 35-inch Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme tires, Hammerhead Armor rocker panels, and bumpers. Exact performance figures and lap times for the Trackfinder have not been disclosed, as the project was primarily created as a show concept.
