Hello, Im just wondering if anyone is going to be visiting the Nismo factory in the near future. If anyone is going, I'm hoping you could you could take some high resolution shots of a car that I've been a bit obsessed with recently. The Nismo R33 with the R1 engine in it. I don't know if there's an official name for it or not, but photos of that car has been very very difficult to come by on the internet. The pics I have are only small ones and would like to have one that I can have it printed out in photo quality.

It's this car.

i know, it's so rare, i've been searching for photos for the longest time and 6 photos on the internet just isn't doing it for me anymore. I have got to get more. If I can get some good high resolution photos, I'm really planning on getting it done in poster format.

pretty sure I have a fair few of it from 2006 I think it was (maybe 05). either way I probably didn't take enough as I was more interested in the Z-tune R34 which had just been released at the time.

have a quick check in my photo diary thread. if not in there, I will try and find them over the weekend.

Omori Factory has changed a lot lately. Unless you have an appointment with someone there is very little to do there.

That being said last time I was there in January I did spot an R34 Z-Tune which seemed to be having rear suspension problems so the poor mechanic had to drive it around a lot :cool: , also the new Nismo 380RS 3.8 litre stroked 350Z was there being prepared for TAS. Then they rolled out the SuperGT 500 350Z from 2007 season to put it in a truck for transportation. That was fun to see three dudes just pushing a GT500 car around trying not to scrape it on the driveway.

We just got lucky. Usually though you'd be lucky to see whatever car they have in the showroom.

Aaanyways, when I went there in July 05 I was invited to look around in their garage where I snapped a few photos of the R1 R33 but unfortunately it was packed into a tight garage so not great photos.

I have a stack of pics of the R1 on my other machine.

The staff at Nismo kindly bought the R1 and the Z Tune down for Beer Baron and I to photograph on one of our previous trips.

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
