Thumbs up Leaving for Japan this Thursday. Any 350Z requests?

Hiya all,

Well I leave for Japan in two days. I'm very excited. Only thing I'm not excited about is time difference and the weather. Other then that I can't wait I love going to Japan.

Keeping that in mind I'm going to try and get a tour of the factory hopefully I will be allowed in and see everyone's Z being manufactured And find out whats the latest scoop in Japan.

I have also been dying to see the 2 NISMO cars in person. And meet with all the manufactures that already have a project 350Z they are working on and see what they intend to make for the car.

Not that I can but does anyone have any request for what you want me to keep an eye out for. A certain Nissan or NISMO part? Let me know and I'll keep an eye out and see what I can do.

If the Feng Shui Master would be so kind...

Bring some videos back! Of the factory in action. Of the Nismo cars in action. From the passenger seat of a Nismo car on the track.

Or just some stills of all the above. Or how about hijacking a Nismo car and taking some shots of it in Akihibara?

I'll stop now.

Thumbs up Thanks Guys

Hhahah are you guys trying to get me in trouble? I'll try and see what I can find about the NISMO car. From what I've heard they haven't done anything to the engine of both the nismo cars.

Hopefully I'll be able to see both of them in person and get detailed shots.

I also want to see the NISMO body kit in light. Reason is that photo they use is too dark I can't see the angles and what not so I'll be trying to bring back a lot of pictures of that car so people can see what the kit looks like without the shade.

Other then that I'll keep what all you guys said in mind if there is anything else let me know I leave thursday morning With my camera in my hand and notepad ready.

Cool 350Z requests

Yuichi,

Could you try to get info on the Nissan Monitor and rear sensor that was shown on one of the threads?

I wonder if it will fit the NAV cubbyhole, and give a clear view of what's behind you.

Have a great trip--

Sadly, I can almost guarantee you all that he won't be able to take pictures inside the factory if he makes it that far. I've toured a couple of car factories in the past and cameras were a big no no....

Yuichi can you please find out if it is possible we can order/ship the items from this web site. It is my understanding they only ship within Japan, and I won't be in Japan till Jan 2nd. Thx so much.
