I'm going to aim for 7am as well, although the girlfriend wasn't impressed at this.

DCD · 26th November 2008, 10:58 PM

Beer Baron, That's too bad! So are you coming over for TAS at least?

OK so I have one spare seat if anyone want's it. If you do then you will have to be at Futakotamagawa station at 6:30 am.

GTR-guy · 27th November 2008, 02:36 AM

OK, so my friend isn't getting back to me so now I will be picking up Marius#49 and his father, (my car will be full) and we will make to meet at 7am at Ebina service area. See you guys there!

It's nice too see we are a bunch of Eco-friendly, carpooling GT-R owners!

Hi guys
Will also meet up with you guys over there . . . .

Arriving between 8:30 and 9:00 with the Nismo shuttle.

LOL will be a gaijin attack there . . . maybe they will deploy the anti-riot squads on that occasion.

Best regards

Chris

Dude I gotta be at Fuji as soon as I can as I don't want to risk not getting a parking spot in the press area. So get your ass at Ebina at 7!!

shutoR33 · 29th November 2008, 10:15 AM

Ok, Ill try ...

-GodZilla- · 30th November 2008, 12:05 PM

Dont know who I seen up there but I had a great time and hope you guys did too.

He he, everyone was so impressed with this year's Nismo Festival that nobody posted anything!

I was utterly, utterly disappointed today. I felt Nismo really let down everyone that supports all things Nissan. Nothing new, no V-spec/Evo/LM version of the R35 (whatever it's to be called!), no new 370Z (I saw one at a dealer yesterday for God's sake!...not even the Nismo version!), no new 2009 Super GT development mule....

And to really insult die hard fans of the GTR badge Nismo asked every tuner to please leave their tuned R35 GT-R demo cars home. There was to be no modified R35 allowed at Fuji today. Why? Guess Nismo/Nissan wants to show people that the new GT-R will not be associated with the tuning world. This from a company that has recently released the Club Sport package that albeit involves no engine tuning (aside from an exhaust system) does nothing to up power but improves how the car drives thanks to revised suspension.

I came away feeling very confused. What will the future of Nismo/Nissan bring to the real die hard fan? Even the usually boring-as-sin Toyota Festival had the Nismo Festival beat this year. Toyoda-san took the Nur 24h LF-A around Fuji, they had the cool Iq battle, Button drifting and doing burnouts in the F1 car as well as the announcement of a tuned Corolla race series.

Was I the only one left feeling this way? What did the others think? Was Carlos Ghosn's appearance from the big Nissan transporter enough to get your juices flowing of did you feel shortchanged?
