I'd thought i'll share this with everyone

I recently came back from Japan on a 2 week holiday. On the 2nd last day, i was in Tokyo, i was walking along a main street and what do i happen to walk pass?

A Nissan Ginza gallery showroom!!!

I could tell you, im convinced after actually seeing the GT-R in real life. Not only that, i got to sit inside and play around. Apparently they were offering test drives. Dammit, if it weren't my last night there...

There was another car inside the showroom quite worth looking at, but i wasn't interested in that. I'm sure everyone will agree with me if you were in my position

Anyways, i post up some pictures

Ginza are not. Other smaller suburban dealerships that have them are offering test drives.

what phone were those photos taken on?

oh and while we are on the subject of the R35, im meeting up with Koichi tonight at 8. Weve had 15 to 20 cms of snow here in central tokyo over the past couple of days so that should make things interesting...snow in tokyo is bloody awesome.

I hope you took some pics of the red one.Its the best looking IMO

(hints avatar) :(

And if only saw the 35 at the Ginza showroom you are not looking hard enough.

The Ginza showroom doesnt have the silver R35 or the red Zed there anymore. It got replaced with some other weird spotted car.

Here you go:

Sorry she doesnt come with it.

Seen the R35 too many times now...can't wait for some creative aero kits and massive forged wheels to give some more variety than the small amount that's been done in Japan.

To be specific, i'm sick of R35 PHOTOS, if i had one i'd keep it stock and look in awe every day :(

    • Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov
    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
