Hi All,

Me and my girlfriend are heading to Japan in late September, I was just wondering if its worth going to the new Nismo factory?? Is there an ideal day to go? Any info would be great :thumbsup:

I have read a few of the previous post and have taken notes of what to do. Keep up the good work.

Adam

I have some photos of the Nismo factory in my photo diary. There are about 10 cars in the showroom. One wall of the showroom is glass and separates the showroom from the workshop (it's pretty huge)so you can see all the cars being worked on. I haven't been to the factory part so can't comment on that. The site itself is nearest to Namamugi station which is a local line whereas Tsurumi is a bit further but on a JR (major) line. Either way it is quite a walk from a station. There may be a bus or you can taxi but I just walked, it isn't particularly scenic but interesting if you haven't been to Japan before.

No probs mate.

According to the website they close on Monday, Tuesday, Golden Week and the new year. My friends and I drove past it today, I didn't realise how close it is to Daikoku Futo till then. Here is the website:

The Nissan engine museum in Yokohama is worth a visit. A friend and I went there in May this year. Free entry and nobody else apart from us there. You get a pretty cool gift when you leave, as long as you see the robot do it's thing. Really easy to get to as well, its an old building on the L/H side. I will post some pics when I get home.

Apparently the history museum is a possibility too.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
