I don't remember seeing any SLK's. I think the fixed up Benzo's were Yakuza cars. I was right across the street from Kabuki-cho (the red light district) and I figure that's the only reason I would see these cars there. I saw a few fixed up SL600's and S600's. Even saw a white 360 drive past my hotel. Kinda odd since my area isn't in the Ginza (rich people) area.

Unfortunately, I don't really have too many pics of these cars as most were driving around when I saw them.

If you want pics of the rest of my Japan trip, PM me. I'll send you the link. I'm afraid my bandwidth will just get raped if I post the link up here.

Sorry Moodie, those are all the pics I have.

I wanted to take a lot more pictures, but it started becoming a hassle. I'd come up to a new car and I'd feel like I'd have to take 10 pics from various angles. With the number of nice cars there and the number of people there, it just became annoying.

Even though I went on Friday (when most people were working), there were still a bunch of ppl there. Just to get my shots in, I'd normally have to wait a few minutes until the ppl in front of me cleared out.

After a while, I just said "screw it, I'm just gonna enjoy the show and not worry about the pics."

I've got pics of the car shops tho. Lemme post the links up.

Great pics, resized to save some of that bandwidth. I think you're safe here though... post these pics over at OT and you'll learn all about raped bandwidth...

Default Great photos and thanks.

did anyone notice a difference in the Nismo front bumper cover on the silver Z at the TAS?

It looks like a long nose but isnt and has two scoops in the front.
Very differnt .. So now there are three Nismo bumper variations?

Also 2004Z, would you know if the side scoops are availble for sale?

Thanks again for the pics. They are great. I would love to go to japan one day.

Are you talking about this one?



If so, that is not a Nismo bumper, I believe it's by RAZO.

As for the side vents, I'm not sure if they are for sale. Certain parts of the car, like the bumer and rear, are only available if you own the car and have a serial number. Other parts, like the spoiler and kickplates, are available to the general public.
