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.

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.

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • 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.
    • 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 😆
    • 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.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
