About the Nissan Gloria Y34
The Y34 generation marked the final chapter for the Nissan Gloria, a nameplate with heritage dating back to the Prince Motor Company. Sharing its platform with the Cedric, the Y34 Gloria adopted a sharper, more modern aesthetic intended to appeal to a younger executive demographic compared to its conservative twin. The 3.0-litre VQ30DE engine provides smooth, linear power, reflecting the car's role as a refined highway cruiser. While never officially exported to the West, the Y34's styling and rear-wheel-drive layout eventually influenced the Infiniti M45, making it a sought-after entry point for JDM enthusiasts and VIP-style tuners.
