after the notes have been priced and all of the terms and information are
finalized. The information contained in this term sheet will be superseded in

received both the prospectus supplement and the prospectus. If any statements in
this term sheet conflict with statements in the prospectus supplement or the
prospectus, the statements in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus will
control. This term sheet is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer
to buy the notes. If the offer, solicitation or sale of the notes in any
jurisdiction would be unlawful before the notes are registered or qualified
under the securities laws of that jurisdiction, then this term sheet cannot be
used to offer or sell the notes in that jurisdiction.

       NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE NOTES OR DETERMINED THAT THIS TERM

<PAGE>   3

D. Interest Accrual

    The Class A-1 Notes will accrue interest on an actual/360 basis from (and
    including) a payment date to (but excluding) the next payment date, except
    that the first interest accrual period will be from (and including) the
    closing date to (but excluding) July 17, 2000.

    All other notes will accrue interest on a 30/360 basis from (and including)
    the 15th day of each calendar month to (but excluding) the 15th day of the
    succeeding calendar month except that the first interest accrual period will
    be from (and including) the closing date to (but excluding) July 15, 2000.

E. Payment Priorities

    On each payment date, the trust will make payments from collections on the
    receivables during the related collection period, amounts withdrawn from the
    yield supplement account, and, if necessary, amounts withdrawn from the
    reserve account. Advances made by the servicer will be included in
    collections, and reimbursements of servicer advances will be deducted from
    collections before any payments are made. The trust will make payments and
    allocations in the following order of priority:

        1.  Servicing Fee - the servicing fee payable to the servicer equal to
            1/12 of 1.00% of the aggregate principal balance of the receivables
            on the first day of the related collection period;

        2.  Interest - accrued and unpaid interest on the Class A-1, Class A-2,
            Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes (on a pro rata basis);

        3.  Allocation of Principal on the Notes - an amount equal to the
            excess, if any, of (x) the sum of the principal balances of the
            notes and the certificates as of the close of business on the prior
            payment date over (y) the principal balance of the receivables as of
            the end of the related collection period (excluding certain
            non-collectible or defaulted receivables and receivables purchased
            by the servicer or repurchased by the seller due to certain
            breaches) will be allocated to make the principal payments on the
            notes as described below.

        4.  Reserve Account - to the reserve account, an amount equal to the
            amount required to maintain the reserve account at the required
            amount.

        5.  Certificate Balance - to the certificates until they are paid in
            full.

        6.  Excess Amounts - any remaining amounts to Nissan Auto Receivables
            Corporation.

Allocations of Principal - On each payment date, from the amounts allocated to
principal as described in clause (3) above, the trust will pay principal of the
securities in the following priority:

        1.  to the Class A-1 Notes until they are paid in full;

        2.  to the Class A-2 Notes until they are paid in full;

        3.  to the Class A-3 Notes until they are paid in full; and

        4.  to the Class A-4 Notes until they are paid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each payment date after the acceleration of
the notes following an event of default, all interest and principal payments
will be made (1) first to the holders of the Class A-1 Notes, until the
outstanding principal balance of the Class A-1 Notes has been paid in full, and
(2) then to the holders of the Class A-2 Notes, the Class A-3 Notes and the
Class A-4 Notes on a pro rata basis (x) with respect to interest, based on the
respective aggregate amounts of interest due to these classes of notes and (y)
with respect to principal, based on the respective outstanding principal
balances of those classes of notes, until the outstanding principal balances of
those classes of notes have been paid in full.

F. Reserve Account

    On the closing date, the seller will deposit $7,219,319.65 (0.75% of the
    outstanding principal balance of the receivables as of the cutoff date) into
    the reserve account for the trust.

    On each payment date, if collections on the receivables and advances by the
    servicer are insufficient to pay the first three items listed under "Payment
    Priorities" above, the indenture trustee will withdraw funds (if available)
    from the reserve account to pay those amounts.

    If the principal balance of a class of notes is not paid in full on the
    related final scheduled payment date, the indenture trustee will withdraw
    amounts from the reserve account (if available) to pay that class in full.



                                        3
<PAGE>   4

    The amount required to be on deposit in the reserve account at the close of
    business on any payment date will be $7,219,319.65, except that if
    charge-offs or delinquencies exceed specified levels, the required amount
    will be the greater of (i) $7,219,319.65 and (ii) 5% of the outstanding
    principal balance of the notes and certificates as of the preceding payment
    date (after giving effect to payments of principal made on such date). On
    each payment date, the trust will deposit the amount, if any, necessary to
    cause the balance of funds on deposit in the reserve account to equal the
    required balance to the extent set forth above under "Payment Priorities".

G. Yield Supplement Account

    On the closing date, the seller will make a cash deposit into the yield
    supplement account for the trust in an amount anticipated to make the
    withdrawals described in the next paragraph. On each payment date, the
    servicer will deposit into the yield supplement account cash received by the
    seller as base compensation for its servicing of certain other receivables.

    On each payment date, the trust will use funds in the yield supplement
    account to cover, for each receivable, the excess, if any, of (x) the sum of
    (1) the interest rate on the Class A-4 Notes and (2) the servicing fee rate
    over (y) the interest rate on that receivable.

H. Final Scheduled Payment Dates

    The trust is required to pay the outstanding principal amount of each class
    of notes in full on or before the related final scheduled payment date
    specified on the cover of this term sheet.

I. Optional Redemption; Clean-up Call

    The notes will be paid in full on any payment date on which the servicer
    exercises its option to purchase the receivables. The servicer may purchase
    the receivables on any payment date when the outstanding principal balance
    of the receivables has declined to 10% or less of the principal balance of
    the receivables as of the cutoff date.

MINIMUM DENOMINATIONS

The notes will be issued only in denominations of $1,000 or more.

REGISTRATION OF THE SECURITIES

Interests in the notes will be held through The Depository Trust Company in the
United States, or Clearstream Banking or the Euroclear System in Europe. This is
referred to as book-entry registration. You will not receive a definitive note
except under limited circumstances.

We expect the notes to be delivered through The Depository Trust Company,
Clearstream Banking and Euroclear on or about June 21, 2000.

TAX STATUS

Subject to the important considerations described in the prospectus supplement
and the prospectus, O'Melveny & Myers LLP, special tax counsel to the trust,
will deliver its opinion that the notes will be characterized as debt, and the
trust will not be characterized as an association or a publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income and California income
and franchise tax purposes.

If you purchase a note, you will agree to treat the note as a debt instrument.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

Subject to the important considerations described in the prospectus supplement
and the prospectus, the notes generally are eligible for purchase by employee
benefit plans.

If you are a benefit plan fiduciary considering the purchase of notes, you
should consult with your counsel in determining whether all required conditions
have been satisfied.

ELIGIBILITY FOR PURCHASE BY MONEY MARKET FUNDS

The Class A-1 Notes are structured to be eligible for purchase by money market
funds under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. A
money market fund should consult its legal advisers regarding the eligibility of
such notes under Rule 2a-7 and whether an investment in such notes satisfies
such fund's investment policies and objectives.

RATINGS

It is a condition to the issuance of the securities that: (i) the Class A-1
Notes be rated "A-1+" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and "P-1" by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc., and (ii) the Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-4 Notes
be rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and "Aaa" by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc.

                              THE RECEIVABLES POOL

            The receivables are required to meet certain selection criteria as
of the cutoff date. Pursuant to such criteria, each receivable: (i) was, at the
time of origination, secured by a new, near-new or used automobile or light-duty
truck; (ii) was originated in the United States; (iii) provides for scheduled
monthly payments that fully amortize the amount financed by such receivable over
its original term (except for minimally different payments in the first or last
month in the life of the receivable); (iv) had an original number of scheduled
payments of not more than 61 and, as of the cutoff date, had a remaining number
of scheduled payments of not less than 1 and not more than 59; (v) provides for
the payment of a finance charge at an annual percentage rate ranging from 0% to
21%; (vi) does not have a payment that is more than 29 days past due as of the
cutoff date; (vii) is being serviced by Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation;
(viii) according to the records of the seller, is not due from any obligor who
was the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding as of the cutoff date; (ix) does not
relate to a vehicle as to which forced-placed insurance premiums have been added
to the amount financed; and (x) as of the cutoff date had a remaining principal
balance of not less than $25.00 and not more than $43,000.00. Retail installment
sales contracts originated in Alabama and Hawaii will not be included in the
trust. No selection procedures believed by the seller to be adverse to
noteholders have been used in selecting the receivables.

            As of the cutoff date, the average principal balance of the
receivables was approximately $15,029.68. Based on the addresses of the
originating dealers, the receivables have been originated in 48 states. Except
in the case of any breach of representations and warranties by the related
dealer, the receivables generally do not provide for recourse against the
originating dealer.

        Corporation has sold to third parties but continues to service. The
        information does not include receivables purchased by Nissan Motor
        Acceptance Corporation under certain special financing programs. The
        information in the tables relates only to receivables with original
        terms of 64 months or less. The trust does not include receivables with
        original maturities in excess of 61 months. In general, Nissan Motor
        Acceptance Corporation has experienced higher overall levels of losses
        with respect to receivables with original maturities of 64 to 72 months
        than with respect to receivables with shorter original maturities.

(2)     An account is considered delinquent if 20% or more of the scheduled
        payment is past due.

------------------------------

(1)     The information in the Net Credit Loss and Repossession table includes
        retail installment sale contracts for new, near-new and used automobiles
        and light-duty trucks and includes receivables which Nissan Motor
        Acceptance Corporation has sold to third parties but continues to
        service. The information does not include receivables purchased by
        Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation under certain special financing
        programs. The information in the tables relates only to receivables with
        original terms of 64 months or less. The trust does not include
        receivables with original maturities in excess of 61 months. In general,
        Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation has experienced higher overall
        levels of losses with respect to receivables with original maturities of
        64 to 72 months than with respect to receivables with shorter original
        maturities. All amounts and percentages, except as indicated, are based
        on the principal balances of the receivables including unearned
        interest. Averages are computed by taking a simple average of month end
        outstandings for each period presented.

(2)     The number of repossessions excludes accounts that have been
        subsequently reinstated.

(3)     The percentages in the left column have been annualized in order to
        facilitate year to year comparisons.

(4)     Charge-offs represent the net principal balance of receivables
        determined to be uncollectible in the period less proceeds from
        disposition of related vehicles, other than recoveries described in Note
        (5). Charge-offs do not include expenses associated with collection,
        repossession or disposition of the vehicle.

(5)     Recoveries generally include amounts received on receivables following
        the time at which the receivable is charged off. Recoveries are net of
        expenses associated with collection.

        Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation's retail loss experience is
dependent upon receivables levels, the number of repossessions, the amount
outstanding at the time of repossession and the resale value of repossessed
vehicles. The losses in the year ended March 31, 1997 were higher than in
previous or subsequent years due to Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation's effort
to finance a broader credit range of customers to support the sale of Nissan and
Infiniti vehicles and a general increase in personal bankruptcy filings. The
management of Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation reacted to the negative trend
in losses by initiating changes to its credit policy that tightened the range of
available credit in order to originate an improved mix of business. These
changes involved discontinuing the origination of 72-month term contracts in
June 1996 and installing a new empirically derived credit score card in
September 1996. In addition, Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation tightened its
credit policy by reducing advance rates for lower credit scores and implementing
risk-based pricing. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation has recently resumed
originating 72-month term contracts under certain financing programs.

                     WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE OF THE SECURITIES

        Prepayments on automotive receivables can be measured relative to a
prepayment standard or model. The model used in this term sheet, the Absolute
Prepayment Model ("ABS"), represents an assumed rate of prepayment each month
relative to the original number of receivables in a pool of receivables. ABS
further assumes that all the receivables are the same size and amortize at the
same rate and that each receivable in each month of its life will either be paid
as scheduled or be prepaid in full. For example, in a pool of receivables
originally containing 10,000 receivables, a 1% ABS rate means that 100
receivables prepay each month. ABS does not purport to be an historical
description of prepayment experience or a prediction of the anticipated rate of
prepayment of any pool of receivables, including the receivables.

        As the rate of payment of principal of each class of securities will
depend on the rate of payment (including prepayments) of the principal balance
of the receivables, final payment of any class of notes could occur later or
significantly earlier than the respective final scheduled payment dates.
Reinvestment risk associated with early payment of the notes will be borne
exclusively by the holders of such notes.

        The table captioned "Percent of Initial Note Principal Amount at Various
ABS Percentages" (the "ABS Table") has been prepared on the basis of the
characteristics of the receivables described above. The ABS Table assumes that
(i) the receivables prepay in full at the specified constant percentage of ABS
monthly, with no defaults, losses or repurchases, (ii) each scheduled monthly
payment on each receivable is scheduled to be made and is made on the last day
of each month and each month has 30 days, (iii) payments are made on the notes
on each payment date (and each such date is assumed to be the fifteenth day of
each applicable month), (iv) the balance in the reserve account on each payment
date is the required amount described in the summary under "Reserve Account" and
(v) the servicer does not exercise its option to purchase the receivables. The
hypothetical pools each have an assumed cutoff date of May 31, 2000. The ABS
Table indicates the projected weighted average life of each class of notes and
sets forth the percent of the initial principal amount of each class of notes
that is projected to be outstanding after each of the payment dates shown at
various constant ABS percentages.

        The ABS Table also assumes that the receivables have been aggregated
into hypothetical pools with all of the receivables within each such pool having
the following characteristics and that the level scheduled monthly payment for
each of the pools (which is based on its aggregate principal balance, APR,
original term to maturity and remaining term to maturity as of the assumed
cutoff date) will be such that each pool will be fully amortized by the end of
its remaining term to maturity.

        The actual characteristics and performance of the receivables will
differ from the assumptions used in constructing the ABS Table. The assumptions
used are hypothetical and have been provided only to give a general sense of how
the principal cash flows might behave under varying prepayment scenarios. For
example, it is very unlikely that the receivables will prepay at a constant
level of ABS until maturity or that all of the receivables will prepay at the
same level of ABS. Moreover, the diverse terms of receivables within each of the
hypothetical pools could produce slower or faster principal distributions than
indicated in the ABS Table at the various constant percentages of ABS specified,
even if the original and remaining terms to maturity of the receivables are as
assumed. Any difference between such assumptions and the actual

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

characteristics and performance of the receivables, or actual prepayment
experience, will affect the percentages of initial amounts outstanding over time
and the weighted average lives of each class of notes.

------------------------------

(1)     The weighted average life of a note is determined by (x) multiplying the
        amount of each principal payment on a note by the number of years from
        the date of issuance of the note to the related payment date, (y) adding
        the results and (z) dividing the sum by the original principal amount of
        the note.

(2)     This calculation assumes that the servicer exercises its option to
        purchase the receivables at the first opportunity.

------------------------------

(1)     The weighted average life of a note is determined by (x) multiplying the
        amount of each principal payment on a note by the number of years from
        the date of issuance of the note to the related payment date, (y) adding
        the results and (z) dividing the sum by the original principal amount of
        the note.

(2)     This calculation assumes that the servicer exercises its option to
        purchase the receivables at the first opportunity.
