Hi members,

I'm looking for information on the nismo festival. I know that it was cancelled last year. Does anyone know the dates it's on this year or is it still on??

On the Japan topic to go to the festival, I would be flying from Perth to Tokyo. I would like a bit of guidance maybe on accomadation, travel and maybe the possibility of renting a gtr to drive over there???

Thanks

they said at the 11' event they would shelve it for two years due to moving nismo to yokohama. so should be on this year! but with all the shit that went down in japan last year i wouldnt count on it.

Yep me too, I'm going 100% with a few guys form here. We were going to head over last year but obviously it didn't go on. From what I read it was only a 1 year break and the move is now complete.

The new factory is looking the goods

Looks like that new Nismo (Yokohama) Omori Factory is much larger than the other one.

I have even greater exceptions from them now to roll out some more special models ;)

I reckon if there is no info out by end of this month - mid August at the latest then you can pretty much say it ain't happening.

I check the Nismo Japanese blog quite and there hasn't been boo said about it as yet.

An alternative and in my opinion way better event is the annual GTR Magazines "R"'s Festival which happens at Fuji Speedway every September.

It's way more laid back event with loads of Top Tuners bringing out there cars plus the average Tanaka and Watanabes cars.

Easy access to pit area to view cars, talk to tuners blah blah blah. Honestly way better than Nismo if you want to go to Japan to rare and tuned cars.

The car park can easily chew up a big amount of the day having a gawk.

Well worth checking out.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
