Nismo Festival 2010 - Image Intense
Another great weekend has just passed. This one being rather special for Nissan Motor Sports fans, the Nismo Festival up at Fuji Speedway.
Like Japan in general, the fast paced lifestyle doesn’t wear off even on such an event. All done in a single day. I suppose it really could be stretched out over a whole weekend. Highly unlikely but you never know what the future may hold.
Nismo has done an awful lot being the factory backed Works tuning partner of Nissan. From creating aero styling for passenger vehicles to offering hardcore racing parts of the highest quality.
The RB28 crate motor for instance. Has been in there line up for a long time now. A safe alternative to a complete engine package.
And then we have the ultra high dollar Titanium tower bar. I thought this was out of production. Something tells me its about to come back.
More on Nismo later…
In true fashion, the tuning shops carry a special edge on this show. They are after all more or less the main access point for Nismo specialty parts.
One shop in particular has really drummed up interest in the well neglected R31 Skyline area has to be R31 House. They had a solid booth set up last year and yet again went one step larger this year with more feature vehicles on hand.
This bright orange R31 caught a lot of attention. Its what G-Works magazine call "new old style". It plays that part rather perfectly.
Attention to detail is what R31 House all about. Close one here showing the GTS-R engine bay. These motors came fitted with a T04E turbo and were easily turned up to 350PS. And those bottom mount manifold are pure works of art, even with the heat shield all warn in.
Following the “new old style’ theme, have a look at this creation. An ER34 from Strange Drive. They went quite hard into this one fitting classis Watanabe wheels, fitting the interior with Hakosuka styled bucket racing seats. And topped off the motor with a clean NA look featuring 6 throttle & a stainless manifold. Pure work of art.
Into 32’s we have this Reverse Garage GT-R. It originally made its public debut one year ago at the Tokyo Auto Salon. At that time Reverse was showcasing some new aero parts for the BNR32 models. Also made its name well at Tsukuba circuit taking part in the annual Rev Speed Hyper Meeting along with other events in the calendar year.
Not only did they have the 32, but also this late S14 with a similar color scheme.
Cockpit Tatebashi showing this R33 GT-R in there booth, just next to Reverse. I would say it looks great with the Racing Hart Wheels. But please, do leave the rear vinyls for F&F.
From Rire Racing we have there championship S15 endurance race car. Believe it was prepared by Yashio factory originally.
And it’s matching partner.
