lingeringsoul Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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.

lingeringsoul Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 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.

Beer Baron Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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.

sewid Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 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 , 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.

Blitz Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 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. Awesome car.

Owgasm Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I like that look haha. The R32 needs bolt ons to fit the rims. and they come out quite a bit aswell.

d00dz Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 bah the nismo factory was closed for refurbishment. we walked like 100000kms around Omori and finally found it! It was on the subway omori line and not the JR omoris station! though the workshop looks like this: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/205008-whos-going-to-visit-the-nismo-factory/#findComment-3815838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
