The Nissan Note was launched on our shores recently and we have given it a little shakedown of our own. We liked the design and 'decent' performance of the simple hatchback - but the JDM industry thinks otherwise.

The Note hatchback offers a simple commute but notable Japanese tuners - Impul - will be offering a comprehensive list of modifications. Though the Note isn't really a vehicle considered for JDM sorcery, Impul's take on the hatchback does offer quite a visual delight.

For a more distinctive look, Impul will offer a full body kit and the car will wear new 17-inch alloys, while the suspension is also lowered and stiffened. The Impul's Note also offers better adjustable shock absorbers and brakes.

An ECU remap increases power on top of featuring a revised exhaust system - though performance details were not revealed.
