Fuji, Japan [ http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=2088237 ] Part 2. 11.05.07 Visit Nismo HQ, Ginza & GTR Showroom, Japan [ http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=2089235 ] (unofficial) Part 3. 11.07.07 We visited Nissan's Zama storage facility and saw a spectacular collection of historically significant Nissan cars dating back before WW2. Travis' post covered much of what we saw there - I'm sure you've seen (or can find) it by now. Part 4. 11.09.07 Visit to Ultimate Z Garage We started the day taking our tour bus over to the shrine @ his wife's mother's house, asked for blessings for a safe trip and sipped a little sake to help it along. Collection of Buddah statues in the side yard at their shrine.
 
Tetsu, the owner of the Ultimate Z Garage (and club) was our near daily guide during this trip. He's a truely generous, patient and ethusiastic host. Tetsu:
 I have no idea - a collection of containers & a Camaro stored next to the shop and the graveyard:

 Testu's shop is 3 levels tall - main floor, followed by a cat walk/loft and then finally a full sized 3rd floor w. a car elevator that will brings things up from outside. It's truly PIMP to be able to store long term projects/cars/etc in the "attic". It give's me garage envy just looking @ these pictures again. View from the catwalk... including Tetsu's gold rocket w. RB26 swap 


The 3rd floor "attic":



 280Z w. a full rear subframe swap from a R32 Skyline in progress...

 This 350z is a 2003 model and has a custom (predating Nissan's recent 07 model) full dual plenum/tb/maf setup by 4 or so years. It sounds great and has even been made into a toy model kit w. the shops logo on it.
 Finally: The Rocket:
 The boys of the trip: Tetsu, Mad Mike, myself, David (from the Dallas Club), Todd W. (from Tidewater Z) and Jeff F. (from ZaNY)
