They were definitely no strangers to Nissan’s highly-anticipated $300,000 Cash Windfall campaign when they became new Nissan car owners. On 17 December 2009, three lucky customers joined the growing group of Nissan car owners driving away with over $56,000 in cold, hard cash.

The first of two ladies driving away with a new car and a whole lot of cash, Ms. Lynn Tan, 33, exclaimed, “I thought it was a prank call at first, but when my car agent called me to congratulate me on winning the first prize of $28,888, I almost went crazy in the train on the way home!” When asked to share about her plans for the prize money, the proud owner of a brand-new Nissan March said, “I will share it with my family and donate a portion to charitable organisations as well.”

First runner-up, Ms. Goh Siew Hiang, 46, winner of $18,888 in cash said, “I was completely shocked when I found out about my win! This is my fourth Nissan car so far and I’m impressed by Nissan Sylphy’s foot brakes and keyless features which are both very important to me.”

Mr. Tan Chong Hian, 56, who found out about his win of $8,888 during his holiday in Vietnam, said, “It’s the best Christmas gift I can ever ask for!” He revealed that although it was the Sylphy’s spacious interior that attracted him, the definite push factor was Tan Chong’s excellent after-sales service.

Tan Chong has given out more than $100,000 worth of prizes since the start of the “Nissan $300,000 Cash Windfall” campaign in October. More cash prizes await privileged new Nissan car owners, including an exciting windfall of $88,888 in a bonus draw in February 2010.

Mr. Ron Lim, General Manager, Sales and Marketing of Tan Chong Motor Sales said, “We are extremely excited to give away these wonderful cash prizes to our valued customers this festive season and we hope we’ve brought them immense joy this Christmas!”

The outdoor guerrilla activity, which commenced on 12 October and will run through to November, caught the attention of many curious onlookers who were seen snapping pictures of their own of Sergeant Kam and the ignorant “criminals”. The brown paper bag brochures also proved to be popular with Singaporeans as they snapped up the quirky promotional material.

Don’t say you don’t know about the promotion because ignorance is now a crime! Look out for Tan Chong Motor’s Sergeant Kam Liat Yu, whose name is a play on dialect and English, which translates into “come catch you”, as he ventures into central business districts, heartlands and Singapore’s main shopping belt to “issue fines” to people who are unaware about the promotion.

Mr. Ron Lim, General Manager, Sales and Marketing of Tan Chong Motor Sales said, “Through creative approaches in reaching out to our consumers, we are confident that this promotion will be a success.

Throughout the campaign, consumers who place an order of a vehicle from Tan Chong Motor can participate in one of four monthly draws, and stand a chance to cash prizes worth more than $300,000, including an exciting windfall of $88,888.

From 12 October to 15 November, the guerrilla stunt centred on Sergeant Kam Liat Yu, whose name is a play of dialect and English that means “Come catch you”, will be set in motion, commencing from Singapore’s busiest commercial districts to other parts of the island in a series of three activations to create awareness on the campaign.

Sergeant Kam, an oversized policeman, will patrol around the vicinity, with three ignorant offenders who have their heads covered in brown paper bags. Playing on the tagline, “It is a crime to ignore $300,000 cash!”, Sergeant Kam will “fine” people who are unaware about the campaign by handing them ‘summon’ tickets or brown paper bags with details of the Nissan campaign.

The Nissan’s microsite to register and win instant $500 cash The campaign will target several media platforms, including radio broadcast, print and online to drive awareness. Teaser EDMs will be released in early October 2009, followed by launch advertisements in newspapers.

Leveraging on ever-popular social media tool, Facebook, Nissan will also drive fan page sign-ups to spread word-of-mouth awareness for the campaign. Fans of Nissan Singapore will be able to register at Nissan’s microsite to qualify for an opportunity to win $500 fast cash, which will be handed out in 10 rounds in the month of October. Other attractive prizes will also be up for grabs in subsequent months.

Mr. Ron Lim, General Manager, Sales and Marketing of Tan Chong Motor Sales said, “Through our multi- pronged approach in targeting various platforms, we are confident that this tongue-in-cheek campaign will be a success. Tan Chong Motor has always aimed to capture the hearts of our consumers in fun and entertaining ways and this time’s no exception!”

The Nissan $300,000 Cash Windfall advertising campaign was conceptualised by 6 Minutes Communications and Mindshare Singapore. Big Ad Creatives led the campaign’s social media activation while PR duties were handled by Vibes Communications.

The official export version comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty and an English vehicle information system, as well as higher horsepower of 485 ps, without the speed limiter that is present in the Japanese domestic model.

The Nissan GT-R makes its official debut alongside Singapore's first Nissan High Performance Centre (NHPC), a dedicated Nissan GT-R showroom and aftersales area that has been specifically set up to service Nissan GT-R cars, at the Nissan Bukit Timah showroom. The NHPC, as with those established in Japan, is run by a team of Nissan trained and certified specialists skilled in providing customisation services and after-sales support to GT-R owners here.

Tan Chong offers the necessary facilities and equipments to care for this legendary Japanese Supercar from pre- to after-sales. With a dedicated group of sales staff, after-sales managers and engineers who are specially trained to attend to GT- R owners and their vehicles, as well as a complete set of diagnosis tools catered specially for this ultimate machine, owners can set their mind at ease on servicing. Tan Chong also provides customers the accessibility to genuine parts for servicing and replacements. Special factory-designed body repairs tools and jigs are available to ensure the GT-R is repaired to factory specifications.

Total support for the GT-R owner is offered throughout the duration of vehicle ownership, including complimentary new vehicle free servicing at six months or 10,000 km (labour, material and lubricant inclusive). In addition, complimentary special adjustments on the engine, transmission and wheel alignment will be provided at the 1st month (2000km), 12th month (20,000km), 24th month (40,000km) and 36th month (60,000km).

"Nissan has invested much into the development of the GT-R and has continuously improved on the GT- R since its introduction. There has been a tremendous amount of excitement surrounding the car since it was launched. Tan Chong aims to provide top-notch support and service that the GT-R requires to achieve optimum performance on the roads, with no margin of error. The GT-R incorporates the best elements from both the natural and technological world into a sleek and powerful performance vehicle, which stands out from the rest of the cars in the market. Having beaten cars like the Porsche 911 Carrera and the Corvette ZR1 at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany, the GT-R is truly an iconic Japanese supercar, worthy of its legendary status," said Mr. Ron Lim, General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Tan Chong Motor Sales.

The Nissan GT-R features the Premium Midship package and the world's first independent transaxle 4WD developed by Nissan. The Nissan GT-R's design that maximises tyre grip and airflow pays tribute to the Earth's natural forces - gravity, inertial force and aerodynamics. Nissan has integrated the revolutionary Human-Machine Interface (HMI) in the Nissan GT-R, which balances "speed and efficiency", "high-output with environmental consideration" and "high performance and safety".

The Nissan GT-R offers high performance through advanced technology and driving dynamics for a pleasurable and safe drive by minimising the effects of climatic, road condition or driving technique limitations.

The Nissan GT-R's unique characteristics are instilled not just in the vehicle's design, but also through a specialised production process. Carbon fibre, aluminium and steel components are assembled with a special high-precision process, which includes a series of vibration tests. Engines and transmissions are assembled by a single craftsman in a "clean room" environment and upon completion; every GT-R undergoes a battery of comprehensive tests to ensure the proper operation of all vehicle components.

The high respect for the GT-R being the most sophisticated performance machine is also solidified with numerous international awards, such as

Packaging and Driveline Suited for a "Supercar¨
The Nissan GT-R uses a Premium Midship package, a more advanced version Front Midship (FM) package utilised on other Nissan vehicles. This package enables the use of the world's first application of an independent transaxle 4WD system. The transaxle's layout places the dual- clutch transmission, transfer case and final drive at the rear of the vehicle (instead of the usual front location), which enables vehicle weight to be evenly distributed throughout the car. This gives the Nissan GT-R a superb front-to-rear weight balance, while enhancing leg and foot space and allowing for an optimal pedal layout.

The Nissan GT-R comes packed with a 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 "VR38" engine, featuring a special twin- turbo exhaust manifold system. A secondary air management system enables the engine to provide torque during ordinary low-rev driving, giving an optimum air-fuel ratio.

The Nissan GT-R's engine produces 485PS (353kW) at 6400rpm and maximum torque of 60kgm (588Nm) from 3200 to 5200rpm. Putting the power to the ground is a GR6-type dual clutch transmission, with paddle shifting and a Borg Warner six-plate dual clutch for direct control.

A special Bilstein DampTronic*¹ suspension system uses all pertinent vehicle information to provide appropriate damping forces for all situations and helps maintain a high level of control for straight-line driving, cornering, and braking.

Braking is essential for a daily-driven "supercar¨ and the GT-R features large Brembo full-floating drilled rotors, low steel high stiffness brake pads and Brembo mono block six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, which in combination minimise fade and provide stable braking. Run-flat tyres, exclusively designed for use on the Nissan GT-R, balance high grip and all-weather capabilities and a comfortable ride in all driving situations. The tyres are designed to maintain structure for 80km of travel at 80 km/h, while still providing an acceptable level of performance.

Functional Design - High Performance Aerodynamics and Style
The Nissan GT-R's styling follows the function over form theory. Every styling aspect, from the overall design to the smallest details, has been created to maximise the vehicle's driving experience - as well as suggesting the GT-R's "supercar" level of performance. Utilising advanced aerodynamics, the Nissan GT-R's aggressive styling evokes the lines of a well-trained athlete, combining strong character lines with smooth and solid areas.

The GT-R's body is created with a combination of steel, carbon fibre and aluminium, providing a unique combination of stiffness and lightness. The Nissan GT-R features a low coefficient of drag of 0.27, with high front and rear downforce, which provides the GT-R with enhanced grip in all weather situations, while also enhancing fuel efficiency.

The front fenders express power and stability, while the "aero-blades" on the fenders' leading edges provide optimum airflow around the tyres and along the body. The scoop in the fenders' trailing edges assists in providing front downforce and optimisation of side airflow. The aggressive front end, with a large hood budge and single air intake, provides a sophisticated style as well as undisturbed airflow for power and cooling. Its "super wide beam" headlights feature three additional sub-reflectors (compared to conventional lights) to give a wider spread to the illumination area.

The Nissan GT-R's large, four-passenger cabin features a sloping "aero blade canopy" roofline and curved C-pillar "sword edge," which expresses the distinctive GT-R identity, as well as facilitating air flow around the rear of the vehicle. The GT-R's hallmark four-ring taillights, efficient rear spoiler and large, integrated exhaust tips, provides the signature rear view of the GT-R, as well as optimising airflow along the top and under the vehicle.

The high level of advanced technology invested in the Nissan GT-R is evident even in its paint - which utilises a "double clear coat" and "anti-chipping" process.

A Multi-functional Interior
The functional yet comfortable interior is key to the Nissan GT-R's usability both as a daily driver and a high-performance "supercar¨.

Sculpted performance bucket seats give the driver and passenger a comfortable driving experience while soft pads on the dashboard in front of the passenger and on the doors give an extra level of comfort and safety.

The instrument panel has been designed to surround the driver at a uniform height to minimise the driver's head movement when travelling at high speeds. The easy-to-read graphics of the large centre-mounted tachometre, with gear display on its upper right, gives the driver instant detailed information, crucial for the performance nature of the GT-R.

The Nissan GT-R blends style with function, evident in each metre featuring a dial plate design that evokes the idea of engaged gears, as well as a three-dimensional metal-like ring, suggesting the multi-dimensional performance of the GT-R. A large, metallic-framed centre console also features the ergonomically designed shift lever and a red "engine start" button.

Adjustability is central to the daily-driver nature of the Nissan GT-R, with a special "set-up switch" located in the centre of the instrument panel. This switch enables the driver to adjust transmission shifts, shock absorbers and the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC-R) in three settings - Normal, Comfort or R, the high-performance setting designed for the Nissan GT-R "supercar" application.

For special use in the GT-R application, the multi- function metre also includes mechanical and driving information for safe high performance driving, including acceleration opening, brake pedal pressure, and steering angle. It also includes an "optimal gearshift map," to emphasise economical vehicle operation.

A specially designed BOSE sound system includes two forward-facing woofers in the rear centre armrest area combined with traditional door speakers. All speakers are mounted in rigid aluminium die-cast panels, which combined with the design of the system; provide sound quality suitable for a "supercar¨.

High-Performance Safety and Environmental Technologies
The high-performance GT-R boasts a long list of safety and environmental features in addition to its electronic superiority.

High-mounted LED stoplamps, bright LED rear combination taillights, "super wide beam¨ headlights, heated door mirrors and flat-blade wipers enhance visibility inside and outside of the car.

Other standard safety features in the car include a pop-up engine hood system for enhanced pedestrian safety, driver and front passenger SRS Air Bag System, ELR front seat belts with tension reducer, front seat belts with load limited and three- point ELR rear seat belts.

Price with COE
The official Nissan GT-R is currently available in the Black Edition at S$299,500 (with COE).

On top of stunning powerslides, the Nissan 370Z, the Official Formula Drift ProAm Series 2009 Car and Official Formula Drift ProAm Series 2009 Safety Car, chauffeured in guest-of-honour Associate Professor Ho Peng Kee, Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs, and was at the flag off of this year’s race. While the cars drifted into action, five pairs of lucky winners for the pre-event weekly draw, as well as GT-R, Nissan 370Z and 350Z owners enjoyed superior service in the Nissan hospitality lounge with exclusive VIP passes. Furthermore, all visitors at the mega event stood a chance to win the grand prize, a pair of return tickets to Japan.

“This is an interesting event and we are excited to be invited by Tan Chong Motor to soak in the adrenaline rush. It is a great way to reward Nissan car owners and I am definitely enticed by the Nissan 370Z after the remarkable drifting display,” quipped Roy Tang, a Nissan 350Z owner.

The prowess of the Nissan 370Z thrilled the crowd when four lucky visitors got to ride with four professional drivers during the highly-anticipated Nissan 370Z challenge where they pitted their driving skills against one another to park into a restricted space. In addition, visitors had an eye feast on five Nissan cars including the well-renowned GT-R displayed at the arena. There were also photo- taking opportunities with the perfect union of beauty and brawns — race queens and sleek Nissan cars.

“We are delighted to be part of Formula Drift ProAm Series 2009, demonstrating our dedication to the motor sports scene in Singapore. Nissan offered ardent car lovers an interesting array of activities that boosted the crowd’s enthusiasm, making this year’s Formula Drift ProAm Series 2009 a fresh and novel experience for them,” said Mr. Ron Lim, General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Tan Chong Motor Sales.

In sync with Nissan’s spirit of “Shift The Way You Move” and commitment to inspire a new generation of drivers, Formula Drift ProAm Series 2009 has been an excellent platform for Nissan to resonate with consumers.

This year’s Formula Drift ProAm Series saw the inaugural partnership between Nissan and the Traffic Police for the Road Safety for the Road Safety Outreach 2009. Safety has always been a vital consideration in Nissan cars and this collaboration and corporate social responsibility initiative is a testimony to Nissan’s pledge to road safety.

Located at Sixth Lok Yang Road, the centre features an RFID Enabled Car Inventory Management and Process Optimization System for efficient tracking and management of new cars. With this system, an RFID tag with an associated reference number is attached to each car in the centre for tracking purposes. The system facilitates more efficient workflow during the pre-delivery inspection process and monitors the progress of work to be completed. With new cars being delivered directly from the harbour to the hub and all key facilities available under one roof, customers receive new cars in almost ex-factory condition with mileage reduced by 90%. Fuel wastage and pollution is also minimized.

Tan Chong International has been awarded a grant from the National RFID Centre for pioneering the use of RFID technology in the automotive sector in Singapore and is currently in the midst of testing and commissioning the system. Tan Chong International will also be investing in skills upgrading programmes, including ICT training, to ensure that existing staff can be redeployed.

Speaking at the official opening, Mr. Joseph Ong, Managing Director, Tan Chong International said, “The opening of TC Nissan Hub signifies much more than enhanced operational efficiency. Tan Chong International has always been at the forefront of embracing new technology to better serve our customers and with the new technological investment in TC Nissan Hub, our customers will receive their cars faster, and the mileage clocked will also be significantly lower. Not only can we deliver a maximum of 12 vehicles at any one time, we will also enable proud Nissan owners to take delivery of their new cars in a showroom environment.”

“We are heartened and encouraged by the recent findings of the Customer Satisfaction Index of Singapore (CSISG) National Survey, a key barometer of customer satisfaction in Singapore, conducted by the Institute of Service Excellence, in which Tan Chong Motors emerged tops in the motor vehicle segment. With the opening of TC Nissan Hub, we are confident that our service level will be further enhanced to meet the increasing expectations of our customers,” he added.

Mr. Boon Swan Foo, the Chairman of National RFID Centre Steering Committee and Executive Chairman of Exploit Technologies, said, “Innovative use of technology holds the key for many businesses in today’s economic climate, especially for those in mature industries, to consistently stay ahead of their competition. I am encouraged that Tan Chong International has blazed the trail by working with the National RFID Centre (NRC) to pioneer the use of RFID in Singapore’s automotive sector. Investment in innovation and technology need not be slowed down by this economic down cycle.

“I am delighted that the project has brought together a robust team comprising local companies like Wavex Technologies as the system integrator and another homegrown firm as the OEM. This move bears testimony to NRC’s efforts to build up a strong RFID community in Singapore. I am confident that with such a pool of committed players, the RFID-enabled Car Inventory Management and Process Optimisation System will lend a competitive edge to the newly opened TC Nissan Hub. We are excited to have worked with Tan Chong’s dynamic team on this ground-breaking project. NRC and Exploit Technologies are looking for more of such forward-looking industry players to partner us in projects that could help to redefine the playing field for our partners and to make a positive economic impact for Singapore.”

The new four-storey centre boasts a storage area with a capacity of about 900 cars. It also features a 3x3 modular state-of-the-art automated car parking system, the technology for which was developed in Japan. The system features cross sliding trimensional parking equipment and is operated using Programmable Logic Control. One of the key highlights of the system is its ability to maximize storage space as well as to deposit and retrieve cars expeditiously, enabling Tan Chong to provide customers with an enhanced level of service. The innovative system has also seen strong interest from players in the automotive sector here and is expected to become increasingly popular in land scarce Singapore.

The new centre also houses a parts warehouse, which features an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), to facilitate more efficient storage and retrieval of vehicle parts.

“Tan Chong International has established Nissan as one of the leading brands in Singapore and we are confident that with the enhanced operational efficiencies resulting from the deployment of the RFID Enabled Car Inventory Management and Process Optimization System and Tan Chong’s commitment to training and upgrading its employees, our customers will be ensured an even higher level of service. We look forward to working with Tan Chong in taking Nissan to even greater heights in the Singapore market,” said Mr. Steve Ardianto, Managing Director, Nissan Asia Pacific Pte Ltd.

In addition to the new centre, Tan Chong’s other facilities are located at Bukit Timah, Ubi and Toa Payoh.

Available in seven charismatic body colours, the Nissan Sylphy includes five all-new colours: Dark Blue, Steel Blue, Titanium Grey, Bordeaux Red and Brilliant Silver, that leaves drivers spoilt for choice. On the exterior, the Nissan Sylphy also reveals a minor aesthetic alteration – a front direction lamp that features an amber-coloured lens exuding a stimulating yet refreshing impression.

Inside, the Nissan Sylphy gets a facelift with a newly- designed centre console and a black, restyled meter. In addition, the interior is also equipped with a new factory-fitted audio system and an intelligently-designed digital air-conditioning control. Other exciting new features include a vibrant reddish-orange interior illumination, and an internal door lock mechanism in material colour.

The Nissan Sylphy features one of the largest and most spacious 1.5-litre sedans, with an impressive car size and roomy cabin; drivers may even mistake the 1.5-litre Nissan Sylphy for the 2.0-litre version!

Like its predecessor, the improved Nissan Sylphy is also available in two engine choices. Drivers can enjoy a fuel-efficient drive with the 2.0-litre MR20DE engine that is capable of furnishing 90% of maximum torque at 2,000 rpm, the most frequently used engine speed in daily driving. Nissan's Extronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), in combination with the MR20DE engine, also ensures a smooth, responsive, and powerful acceleration for an excellent driving experience.

The other choice is the all-aluminium and light- weight 1.5-litre HR15DE engine. Together with the cleverly-designed electronic-controlled 4-speed A/T, the HR15DE engine provides a perfect torque at medium and low speeds, on top of a quieter and better fuel-efficient drive.

The facelifted Nissan Sylphy, boasting an impressive fuel consumption of 6.9litre/100km (14.5km/litre) for the 1.5-litre, and 7.3litre/100km (13.7km/litre) for the 2.0-litre, promises to make every drop of fuel count for every drive.

Last but not least, it retains the intelligent key system featuring keyless entry & engine ignition, allowing you to unlock or lock your doors and track, as well as start the engine, without removing the key from your pocket.

Origin of the name:
The word 'sylphy' was coined from the sylph, the elemental spirit of air that consorts with those of earth, fire and water. Combining this image of clean, natural quality with the confidence and reliability of our brand, its name states the car's fundamental qualities: Sylphy.

Major features of the all-new Nissan Sylphy facelift:
1. Black meters
2. Interior door lock buttons in material colours
3. New centre console design
4. Reddish orange interior illumination
5. Front direction lamp with amber-coloured lens
6. Factory-fitted audio system
7. Intelligent digital air-con system (2.0-litre model only)
