As the topic suggests the aim of this thread is to compile a list of tuning shops, directions on how to get there and opening times etc..

It seems to be a commonly asked question in the Japan section, so please guys no chit chat, lets compile a good helpful list for those heading over on holidays...

Thanks, M.

I'll start with the Nismo factory (OMORI) as stated in another thread...

1. IN SHORT..... Omorikaigan station on the Keikyu line, which goes through Shinagawa.

Head out of the station and go North East. It's across the road from the horse race course.

www.nismo.co.jp

2. MORE DETAIL.....Take Yamanote line to Shinagawa. Switch to/follow the signs to the Keikyu line, buy a ticket at the window to Omorikaigan station I think its 160yen from Shinagawa.

Its the first platform you see when you go thru the ticket gates. Wait for a local train. If you accidently get the express it takes you 4 stops past Omorikaigan and you have to get off and backtrack. Done this when in a hurry before its a royal pain in the ass.

Get off the train at Omorikaigan, go outside the station and take the pedestrian footbridge to the other side of the road. Go down to your left and walk for 5-10 minutes till you hit Nismo.

Nismo Omori Factory has yet again changed its opening schedule.

Now open only Fri/Sat/Sundays

Please feel free to add further directions...

I dont know how helpful this is, but near where i live there is a bit of a car workshop/yard district thing going, spanning the distance between 3 stations.

Where - Between Urayasu and Gyotoku stations on Tozai line. Get off at Urayasu and when u exit the station gates continue the vague direction of straight for 10metres and you will get the the main road that has the tracks go over head. Turn right and its this main road where the action is. unfortunately it speads out for a number of Kms, so either bring a bike or get ready for a big walk.

Whats there? - King buyer, another car yard specializing in tuned cars, a smaller workshop usually with somthing hard in it (RX7, Skylines etc), theres a place sellling slightly stange, mostly dressy versions of a few cars, a VIP type place, further down the road there is a proper modified car workshop (around gyotoku area by now) and much much further down the street is one more selling near standard sports cars. And many normal car shops in between this.

keep in mind this main street doesnt follow the tracks, but funs kinds parallel to it. if your unsure just ask which road has allt he car shops on it.

enjoy

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
