It was her -> http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8545/img5965qs8.jpg

The left one was naked in the boot.. Show how much room there is in there... ;)

BEER BARON!!!!!!

the pictures are MAD keep it up!

how do you know about events that are happening around japan? EG: drifting, nismo fest, time attacks.

is there a book / web site that will tell you dates?

cause i really want to go to japan, an see all of that stuff

PS how did you get access to the pits and on the grid, at the NISMO FEST?

Awesome pics. Don't know how you managed to get access to all of these areas but i am jealous.

Is it just me or on the GT500 RB26 engine, have they ground all of the webbing off the side of the block to save weight? Could be wrong but sure looks like it.

Excuse my ignorance, maybe Nissan Motorsport makes a race series engine block?

once again cool pics

Hi mate, glad you enjoy the pics. well most of the stuff I hear about through friends in japan. Laurence (on this forum) has a website which has a calendar of events in japan too. it's in the japan section in the stickys.

pit access and grid access was because I was there as media.

yeah they have a special GT block. different to the other RB26 blocks. :domokun:

hurry up, we want more pictures!!!!!!!!

lol! don't worry.tomorrow plenty more. I'm only just about half way through the nismo festival pics, and I only upload about 1 in 10! otherwise it would take me forever.

when i go next year i'm meeting up with you so you can show me all these places

This car was palked in a closed pit garage right at the start of pit straight. It belongs to the chief designer of the R35 GTR. Looks nice in red, but the paint quality is terrible. lots of peel etc. the few other GTRs I looked at were the same too which is a bit dissapointing. Nice number plate though :rofl:

Check out was was in a cage next to it! with a cover on that was ever so tantalising slighty askew. After I took these photos a nismo staff member hurried us out, then set a permanent guard up at the cage! lol.

Now to the stuff that was up for grabs. there was lots of bits from nismo GT cars. Guards going out the door from about $150. Bonnets for between $300 and $600. Wheels from about $150 to $250+, bumpers from about $100 up, even windscreens etc. If I had a truck I probably would have bought the lot.

this was a fairly special Z parked out in the paddock. 350Z RS. apparently has a 3.8l engine. nice.

img6116vw5.jpg

A pair of super tough looking Z GT cars.

Some old school cool.

img6130pc9.jpg

Genuine Nismo GTR 400R. not bad at all.

img6133wa8.jpg

and of course it wouldn't be a nismo show without a Z-tune. God I love it.

and of course this car need no introduction whatsoever. very nice indeed. :rofl:

img6148ps7.jpg

Mines had a Z there too which looked pretty cool.

Check out the size of this clutch. It's an AP forumla 1 clutch. Carbon fibre, quad plate. a measly 4 or 5 inches in diameter and it weighed practically nothing. he said it was 15 years old and cost nearly 1 million yen to make. he said I could but if quite cheaply if I wanted to. To the left of pic they are selling Titanium Group A GTR brake pistons. $100 each.

img6153wf7.jpg

Carbon fibre brake disk for Group A GTRs. AP made these for the group a GTRs, but then carbon disks were outlawed so they couldn't use them. d'oh! He offered to sell me it too. lol. it weighs nothing. very cool.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
