Hello, Im just wondering if anyone is going to be visiting the Nismo factory in the near future. If anyone is going, I'm hoping you could you could take some high resolution shots of a car that I've been a bit obsessed with recently. The Nismo R33 with the R1 engine in it. I don't know if there's an official name for it or not, but photos of that car has been very very difficult to come by on the internet. The pics I have are only small ones and would like to have one that I can have it printed out in photo quality.

It's this car.

i know, it's so rare, i've been searching for photos for the longest time and 6 photos on the internet just isn't doing it for me anymore. I have got to get more. If I can get some good high resolution photos, I'm really planning on getting it done in poster format.

pretty sure I have a fair few of it from 2006 I think it was (maybe 05). either way I probably didn't take enough as I was more interested in the Z-tune R34 which had just been released at the time.

have a quick check in my photo diary thread. if not in there, I will try and find them over the weekend.

Omori Factory has changed a lot lately. Unless you have an appointment with someone there is very little to do there.

That being said last time I was there in January I did spot an R34 Z-Tune which seemed to be having rear suspension problems so the poor mechanic had to drive it around a lot :cool: , also the new Nismo 380RS 3.8 litre stroked 350Z was there being prepared for TAS. Then they rolled out the SuperGT 500 350Z from 2007 season to put it in a truck for transportation. That was fun to see three dudes just pushing a GT500 car around trying not to scrape it on the driveway.

We just got lucky. Usually though you'd be lucky to see whatever car they have in the showroom.

Aaanyways, when I went there in July 05 I was invited to look around in their garage where I snapped a few photos of the R1 R33 but unfortunately it was packed into a tight garage so not great photos.

      Best Skyline ever

      You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
