Autech (オーテック Ōtekku) (Autech Japan, Inc. (株式会社オーテックジャパン Kabushiki-gaisha Ōtekku Japan)), is a pro tuner of Nissan cars.
Autech was founded in 1986 as a subsidiary of Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.. Nissan named Shinichiro Sakurai, the former general manager of Nissan's Advanced Vehicle Design Department, as president designate of the new subsidiary. The company sells the cars through Nissan dealers rather than through other means.
Some cars produced by Autech ("Autech Version") include the following:
Autech Japan also tunes GT500 class Nismo racing car engines (Skyline GT-R R34 and Fairlady Z Z33) competing in the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship (recently renamed Super GT) against other tuners such as BMW Motorsport, Mugen, and Toyota Technocraft.
