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 :(

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
