It looks so docile with the paintwork! I managed to meet Niikura-san at his workshop a few weeks ago as well(have pic to prove). I was gobsmacked! Couldnt beleive it.

But quite literally though, I have never seen so many R's at the same time. Met alot of cool dudes. Damn I love Japan :D

Was it worth timing a visit around the event? I've been meaning to go for years

I live here now.. but visiting Japan around this time is perfect weather and cost wise because its just coming into Autumn here so its quite moderate.. you can just get by in a t-shirt and theres not alot of festivities. Xmas season is crazy here. They put lights everywhere esp in Toyko Metro area.. but its crazy busy here during that time, or even Sakura season(March). Then summer time its just bloody bloody dangerously hot. It averages around 35 around summer(by 9am its 28-30).

 

If anyone off here is keen to visit, id be more then happy to show you guys around.

This is begging for some big Calsonic stickers on the sides

Got to love a 400R. I was at the Nismo festival in 2003 and took photos of the yellow one they had on display back then. Never seen one since.

Haha yes - That blue 34 has gull wing doors! Couldnt take snaps as my battery was dying(stupid IOS 18!!!).

That 400R was sexy. I know a guy here that happens to own a Ztune, 400R, and a 2025 Nismo 35 with zero k's(Yes, you read it right.. Z Tune)... I saw with my own eyes. Pretty sure that was the same 400R.

Damn I love Japan.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
