Recommended Posts

Looks great man!

You need Nismo LMGT4 wheels now :laugh:

Ha, yeah. Was looking for a set for ages, but went with my second choice a set of 18 inch bbs lm's, which are being fitted now!

My car at Nismo

This adds new meaning to the term "Finding Nismo" !!! Hahaaa.

Those lists Brad, Nick, Adam, Kristian, Simon, Marcus and others demostrate just how many Nismo-Nuts there really are!!!!

Interesting to observe too that discontinued Nismo items seem to retain their value (depending on condition).

Can someone let us know how to get to Nismo Omori let's say, after getting out of Narita Airport hehe...?

What are the times of opening? How long should one spend inside there?

What can we see there > touch there > shop for there?

Nismo's Testing Track?

For me (Dec last year), I had to google the directions and opening hours when i was in Japan lol.

You could spend max about 45mins there i reckon.

Its really a small nismo shop off with glass through to the workshop. They did have some cool nismo gear there but and I bought a few things.

Anything really specific to the car model, then they may have to order it in.

But after talking to them in engrish the best I could and showing them my GTR on my iphone, I asked to see inside the workshop but they didnt want to (may have been language barrier aswell). So i Started asking about the S-Tune and R-Tune motors inside the workshop, the guy then showed me through the workshop in which I got to see, ask about and have a good look over, S-Tune and R Tune motors, The Z tune demo car, The 370 demo car and the new GTR race car they have.

Which i wet my pants over.

Althoguh I knew most of the specs and rough prices of some of the motors etc, I asked heaps of questions and they were more than happy to show me about.

Although it is rather small, just seeing the nismo building and all the cool nismo stuff was well worth it, and being a diehard GTR fan i just loved the place lol.

Me and my mrs also took a walk around the outside of the building see different nismo symbols the rear wing of a yellow 400r on the 3rd floor, plus there was a nice pond/garden out the back.

Nismo testing track...have to ask the guys like marcus etc

Nice man!

What are the wheels in the pic?

They look Bee*R / Drift Tek...

Yep, just Drift teks....

I've been to Omori factory 3 times now, first time was about 3 years ago, and they had the showroom right at the front. Was quite good, lots to look at, but then they moved it into a kinda side room, and they only have a limited supply of stuff, i think you have to order stuff from them, cant just get it right then and there.

Shinagawa is the main station to get to, which is a pretty big station, and easy to find on the toyko rail map, then change at shinagawa, cant remember the line, but Omori kaigan is the station you want, its only 2 or 3 stations away. You cant miss the Nismo sign!

Terry, thats the old NISMO logo. It's crappy and doesn't suit the R34, let me know when you want me to come by and pick it up ;)

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
