Here are some more pics for everybody.



This was cruising the streets of Harajuku



My second favorite station wagon, next to the Stagea of course. This Wingroad was on display at the Nissan Gallery in Ginza.



I hope you guys can see the text on the menu buttons



This isn't exactly anything too special in Japan, but I think a lot of us would kill for a Skyline Sedan (Prior to the G35)



Again, the streets of Harajuku



Outside a club in Roppongi



I forget what the town was called but I can easily find out for anyone thats interested.



Yes, a Murano with a Nismo body kit and Nismo Rims. I'm trying to convince our General Manager to build a Murano like this, but more so.



The Garage at the Nismo Showroom in Omori Kaigan (Don't miss the red R-34 in the very background)

Sweet pics!!!! Omori is nice, last time one of our friends was out there we got all the nismo catalogs. They make me green with envy.

And some more non-Nissans:



Harajuku, and just some background on Harajuku real quick. Harajuku is the fashion district where all the super rich boyfriends/husbands take their super rich girlfriends/wifes to go shopping at Louis Vuiton, Gucci, Aramani ect. It had the highest concentration of beautiful girls and exotic cars from anywhere I went in Tokyo. You won't see so many of the Skylines and everything there but you will get the Ferraris, Mercedes, Lamborhginis and such.



A Garage in Shinjuku



Cruising the streets of Shinjuku



One more frmo the curb in Harajuku.

I hope everyone enjoyed this batch. Most of the prime pictures I have are already posted but I have plenty more of the same cars from different angles and things like that. Thanks again everybody

This was kind of the equivelant of a track model here. Everything seemed the same except for RAYS wheels. The base price of a 2006 Track model here is $34,350 without ANY options at all or Freight. I think the exchange rate is every 113 Yen = $1. Based off that sticker the Z at least is almost identical price wise. However it is still absurdly more expensive to own a car in Japan considering gas is about $2.30 a liter and there are all kinds of taxes and permits you need just to have a place to park the car. For a genuine Fairlady though, I'd still say it's worth it : )

Anyways nice pics and I haven't been back to Japan in a couple of years.
no but it's still pretty damn expensive. Forced Fed sells the 375 horse power kit for about 14-16 grand and thats WITHOUT installation Theres another company that came out with another single turbo kit that was around 7 big ones but the people on the Elise forums are having nothing but problems. Some even had it removed

***edit*** oh and thanks for the awesome pics

WOW, awesome pics..

I don't know what the big deal is with everybody drooling over the R34 GT-Rs, but they are very nice. They're so common in Japan, it's not worth a second look. The Z-Tune is a completely different story however..

BTW, I'm in love with that Japanese girl.. I'm going to have to visit her sometime soon.. I mean DAYUM!
