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.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
