Nismo Omori Factory & Up Garage In Tokyo


Recommended Posts

Yeah, guys... heading to Japan mid feb... looking at visiting both Nismo Omori factory and Up Garage.

Just like to see out of all their stores which Up Garage is easiest or closest to Tokyo.... same goes for Nismo factory... it is open to public right? or is it Nismo shop that i am thinking?

Any help will be appreciated!

Cheers

UP GARAGE

tokyo station to chiba, get off at chiba and get onto the local line there and goto chiba chuo ( its about a 5 min walk but recommend you catch the train ) when you get to chiba chuo station you head left down the corridore with shops and out the door , when you get out side you will see a park ( realy just a walking area ) follow that till you hit the foot bridge, walk up the foot bridge till your near the middle ( busy highway under you at this stage )look right and about 100M down you will see the big up garage sign and there you go.

time : 110 min each way

NISMO FACTORY

tokyo station to shinagawa station, get to the keikyu line ( ask someone at the ticket booth as it took me 20 min to find it and i missed the train so had to wait ) and buy a ticket to Omorikaigan, once there exit the gates and the station, head left and you will see a skinny foot bridge to the other side of the road, take it to the other side and head left when you come to the other side , keep walking 10 mins and you will see it .

Nismo factory is only open wed , thurs, fri , sat , sun - 10am to 6pm but the store is only open fri, sat, sun, 1pm - 6pm

Time : about 90min each way

hope it helps

stylz7: Thanks very much!!!! IT certainly help me alot!! :(

Would of thought the store should open longer hours.... anyway, so what is the Nismo factory like? is it a guide tour? and does it cost anything for entry?

Cheers

PS: I have both BNR34 & BNR32 like u!!! :)

I was there last year. They had a Calsonic GTR on show out the front (which you can't get close to), inside there's a shop with a few knick knacks, and a window into the workshop which you're not allowed into. From memory they had an R34 GTR Nur and a 32 GTR of some kind both up on jacks getting looked at. I found it to be a waste of time but you may get something out of it.

Nismo is definatly worth a trip IMO, but they have funky opening hours, so call ahead. If you cant speak Japanese, try asking the person at the front desk of your hotel to call for you. Japanese are VERY friendly and helpful like that!

:P

Theres actually a local train that's closer to the factory. Can't remember the name. The JR line is a fair walk.

Also book into the place to do a tour.. We just rocked up and they didn't have time to show us around :)

Take it from someone who passes Nismo Omori weekly, dont make it your main itinerary. If you are close and can make the trip, great, if not, I would spend my time going to other places where you can see more.

What other places would you recommend?

Im heading to Japan in July and I had pencilled in teh Nismo factory & the Nissan Museum but that's only cos I dont know of anywhere else good to go....

Japan is an AWESOME place and its true the NISMO OMORI FACTORY isnt as good as it looks.

I have been to Japan twice and both times been there. The shop is quite small and they normally dont let u go into the workshop....

But if ur close i guess its worth it.

Top Sercet is another place that took forever to get to and wasnt as good as people make it out to be.

Hey N1GTR how did u get the photos in the workshop??

They didnt allow us to go in there or to take photos

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
