[edit] Local Production

Nissan assembled a variety of vehicles in New Zealand until late 1998. Complete knock down (CKD) kits were brought in from Japan and assembled in the Wiri plant. Locally produced components were also used, and included items such as tyres, seats, trims, and glass.

[edit] End of Local Production

During 1998 the government decided that tariffs on imported cars would be abolished. This led to the remaining four local assemblers Nissan, Honda, Toyota, and Mitsubishi) to announce that they would be ceasing local production during and would concentrate on importing instead.
