Default address for the HQ?

Dang! What area of Tokyo was it in? Do you have the address? I'll have to visit the next time I'm there.

I've been to Japan twice and both times I'd only been to the TINY their showroom in Ginza that has a whole 2 cars. The 2nd time I did go a tour of one of their plants in Oppama though.

Don't want to pay extra with all the import Duty and Luxury Car tax. I think the Z in Japan is more Expensive than the Skyline anyway. So i don't want to make the Skyline more Expensive than the Z

But i heard they going to Release that in Australia Soon. BUt in next 3 years as replacement the Z 2+2 seater Z , yer right. i'll get the New Skyline GT-R35 by then

I'll get you the address. I went to the Nissan Gallery, as they call the tiny one on Ginza, and they gave me a map to the large facility where I took the pictures.

It's 10 minute walk from the small Gallery.

mdepena, in some of your pix (I assume with flash), it appears that the JDM 350Z rear tailight assembly has different internal reflectors than the US version - specifically, what appears to be clear and orange reflectors in the lower rear facing lights. Care to comment? TIA.
I think you're right about the flash having an affect on the reflectors, because I didn't notice the differences until I saw the pictures on my computer screen.

The pictures of the S-Tune Z taken from the rear were lit up, as the person that was test driving was about to leave and had the brake depressed - I hope that answers your question.

I did notice that the front side markers were smoked on all the models (Z).

Thanks!

I was surprised at how good they came out, too. I used an older 1.2 megapixel Minolta with a 3X optical zoom - must be a good lens.

I don't travel with my 4.0 megapixel since I'm afraid to damage or lose it.

I did use the new Office 2003 Picture Manager to resize them for this website.

I took them in Tokyo, near the Ginza Nissan Gallery. It's about a 10 minute walk from the main Ginza street.

I'll post the address when I get back to my hotel.

I did take a pic of this place, too.

Here is a picture of one of the signs outside the Gallery. The small map in the right corner shows you two red dots (locations). Red dot in the far right is the Nissan Gallery on the main Ginza street and the second red dot, lower left is where I took the pictures and saw all the cars. It was pretty good-sized place.

Here's a closeup of the previous picture - I'm not much of a photo editor, so excuse the graininess.

that's the first good pic of liquid aluminum i've seen. it definitely looks different from cs to me. it seems a cross between cs and g35's desert platinum.
