Gt-r Display, Tokyo 2008

[sanjuu-ni]

Perhaps some readers here may like to see the GT-Rs which were on display at the Nissan Gallery in the Ginza and at the near-by showroom last week.

The helpful girls at the Gallery can offer a map and directions to the showroom, which is only 10 minutes walk away.

Great pictures!!! Thanks for posting them up here. No pics of an R32 GT-R roadcar? Are there are other Group A cars in there apart from the Calsonic?

That's awesome sanjuu-ni. Cheers.

Yeah i'm with ajrichar. Bring out the Group A GTRs.

Thanks for your interest and comments, guys.

I didn't see any other R 32 Group A cars. A number seem to have survived, hopefully there may be some at the Nismo Day at Mt Fuji in November this year.

This is the balance of the photos taken at the Nissan HQ.

That R32 road car.... phwoar........

Thanks so much for the piccies! Are you heading to the Nismo Festival this year?

[sanjuu-ni]

Yes, I'll be going to the Nismo Festival this year and the Toyota Motorsports Festival at Mt Fuji on the 23rd of November. Be great to see and hear those cars on the track.

I was at Mt Fuji this March for a historic race meeting and the car makers sent along some of their old racing cars. There was a R 33 GT-R Clarion , A Le Mans Mazda 787(?), a Honda NSX LM and a Nissan R390 Calsonic. All were going quite briskly considering their value.

Awesome... I have been to tokyo twice but not been to the nissan gallery... how do I get there??

[sanjuu-ni]

There are two Nissan showrooms that are worth a look in Tokyo.

The Nissan Gallery is in the Ginza on the corner of Chuo Dori and Harumi-Dori, a busy intersection. You can find it easily on any of the tourist maps. The TimeOut guide to Tokyo shows it clearly.

This is only a small showroom that holds two or three cars. The road and racing R35s were there in March. Upstairs is a small shop selling Nissan merchandise but I recall they didn't accept credit cards.

Ask the girls at the front desk for a map to the Nissan Head Office showroom. They're really helpful and speak English. It is two blocks down and six across if I recall correctly. However, that GT-R display was only there until the end of March. It would still be worth a visit as I would expect the display to change constantly.

Do you have pictures from the Historic race meeting? I am very interested in the R33 Clarion and the Mazda 787B! Plus, take plenty of pics of the Nismo Festival and the Toyta Motorsports Festival!
