First time i've had time to make a photo thread of my Japanese trip so here it goes let me know what you think.

All pics are clickable for bigger versions

On about day 4 of being in Tokyo i decided to pop out to the Nismo factory in Omori (http://www.nismo.co.jp/shop/shop/omori/index.html).

Getting There

I checked out the map on the website and the JR map and caught a train to the Shinagawa station (Yamanote line, 30 minutes from Tokyo station) and changed for the local line to Omorikaigan station (not a JR station).

Leave the platform and take the exit to the left, this is the street the Omori factory is on (that was easy!).

Cross the footbridge and head towards the tollboths. You'll pass this sign.

Walk for 5 minutes and you'll be there. This is the first you'll see of the place.

If you're lucky a nice GTR will be parked out the front. This is a customers car in this photo. He was coming in for a service or something.

Of course if your not so lucky it will be closed the day you turn up. Like it was for me. The place was actually closed for visitors the day I turned up... I was very disheartened so I went for a wander around the back and found this immaculate R32 GTR:

I also snuck a photo into the Nismo warehouse... Lots of nice bits of racecars in there. Probably mostly historic, would've loved to take some home.

Eventually we chatted to some guys with Nismo jumpers on and told them the whole sob story about how we had come from Australia and had made our way all the way from Soga to Omori to see the Nismo stuff and it was closed and they were so friendly to us. They let us inside and said we could take photos.

Turns out today was the day they were putting the new Fairlady Z S-tune GT into the showroom so they let us stay and take photos.

So anyway heres the Pennzoil R33:

Then they stuck this bad boy on a truck ...

... and backed the truck up to the showroom ...

... After which i proceeded to spend loads of money on Nismo junk and take a bunch of free brochures.

It was a pretty fun day and the Nismo guys and gals were so nice to us.

Anyway thanks. If anyone wants any of the photos in full size (6.4mp, 3000x2000 res) let me know...

Dave, I'm testing the 350GT in Hakone on the 14th next month.  Why not pop by?

Dino any chance you could make that on the 15th? I have to work on the friday and since I'm taking the entire previous week off (Golden Week) I doubt I'll be able to get that friday off too :D

    • We're a bunch of suspicious skeptics here. So when we see a new user describing themselves as a "guy" but showing "Female" in the bio, we immediately suspect "bot" and "spam". If you are legit, then welcome. If you are a spambot, then die in an AI fire. No offence (unless you're a bot). What car did your dad drive when he met your mum? (Call this a car forum Turing test, if you like). What car did your mum drive when you started school? What car did your date drive to your first formal/prom/whatever. What do the majority of the license plates in your local area have on them (the state motto, the county motto, whatever)?
    • Howdy All! Minutes from this year's AGM attached! Thank you to the old committee for a great year & good luck to the new (*cough* same) team for the year ahead! See you all soon!   SAUNSW_2024 AGM Minutes_04052024.pdf
    • Hey guys! Just rolled into this awesome community and let me tell you, I'm stoked!  Cars have been my jam for as long as I can remember, and there's nothing I love more than talking about them. It doesn't matter if it's the latest performance mods, DIY hacks that'll blow your mind, or just nerding out over engine specs –  I'm all in. I know I'm the new guy here, but I promise I'm not all talk. I want to be a part of this community, learn from the veterans, and maybe even make some friends along the way. So, whether you've been wrenching on rides for decades or just getting started like me, feel free to say hi, share some advice for a newbie, or just throw out a random car fact (because, let's face it, those are always fun!). Looking forward to getting to know you all and becoming part of this gearhead family! Thanks Pihu
