Yeah, guys... heading to Japan mid feb... looking at visiting both Nismo Omori factory and Up Garage.

Just like to see out of all their stores which Up Garage is easiest or closest to Tokyo.... same goes for Nismo factory... it is open to public right? or is it Nismo shop that i am thinking?

Any help will be appreciated!

Cheers

UP GARAGE

tokyo station to chiba, get off at chiba and get onto the local line there and goto chiba chuo ( its about a 5 min walk but recommend you catch the train ) when you get to chiba chuo station you head left down the corridore with shops and out the door , when you get out side you will see a park ( realy just a walking area ) follow that till you hit the foot bridge, walk up the foot bridge till your near the middle ( busy highway under you at this stage )look right and about 100M down you will see the big up garage sign and there you go.

time : 110 min each way

NISMO FACTORY

tokyo station to shinagawa station, get to the keikyu line ( ask someone at the ticket booth as it took me 20 min to find it and i missed the train so had to wait ) and buy a ticket to Omorikaigan, once there exit the gates and the station, head left and you will see a skinny foot bridge to the other side of the road, take it to the other side and head left when you come to the other side , keep walking 10 mins and you will see it .

Nismo factory is only open wed , thurs, fri , sat , sun - 10am to 6pm but the store is only open fri, sat, sun, 1pm - 6pm

Time : about 90min each way

hope it helps

I was there last year. They had a Calsonic GTR on show out the front (which you can't get close to), inside there's a shop with a few knick knacks, and a window into the workshop which you're not allowed into. From memory they had an R34 GTR Nur and a 32 GTR of some kind both up on jacks getting looked at. I found it to be a waste of time but you may get something out of it.

Nismo is definatly worth a trip IMO, but they have funky opening hours, so call ahead. If you cant speak Japanese, try asking the person at the front desk of your hotel to call for you. Japanese are VERY friendly and helpful like that!

:P

Theres actually a local train that's closer to the factory. Can't remember the name. The JR line is a fair walk.

Also book into the place to do a tour.. We just rocked up and they didn't have time to show us around :)

Take it from someone who passes Nismo Omori weekly, dont make it your main itinerary. If you are close and can make the trip, great, if not, I would spend my time going to other places where you can see more.

What other places would you recommend?

Im heading to Japan in July and I had pencilled in teh Nismo factory & the Nissan Museum but that's only cos I dont know of anywhere else good to go....

Japan is an AWESOME place and its true the NISMO OMORI FACTORY isnt as good as it looks.

I have been to Japan twice and both times been there. The shop is quite small and they normally dont let u go into the workshop....

But if ur close i guess its worth it.

Top Sercet is another place that took forever to get to and wasnt as good as people make it out to be.

Hey N1GTR how did u get the photos in the workshop??

They didnt allow us to go in there or to take photos

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).

      Custom titanium intake

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
