J Ship Motor Festival 2005 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Demon Dave · 25th September 2005, 10:21 AM

OK, so probably no one outside out Yamanashi has heard of it...tis our own little motorshow held at the local air strip not more than 2 miles from my house...

bad news is I had to work, so missed all but the very end!

So I missed the Ferraris, lambos etc drag racing down the strip, missed the drifting and all the other good stuff. But did manage to get a few static shots, and a couple of my R in a rather cool location...

pulling into the carpark and the drifting (bar the smoke! ) was just about over:

somebody had some fun

precious metal

Most of which were doing drag runs at one point or another!

what's your favorite?

thunderbirds...

and some of my BNR34:

If you're referring to the pictured Ferrari's, that's an F50. If you weren't referring to the pictures I'll stop being a smart ****

sky 1t · 25th September 2005, 03:52 PM

Nice pics & parking space for your 34
Right, Ferrari's are common as muck, the Skyline does stand out from the crowd.
Dave what make of exhaust have you got on your car, looks the same as mine?

bladerider · 25th September 2005, 03:58 PM

Nice pics DAVE !!!!

dcd !!!

Is that a Testarossa on Works rims in the 6th pic ???

And Im pretty sure that the "Thunderbirds car" is the fastest most powerful thing there !!! 200mph+ 800bhp electric thing iirc

Thrust · 25th September 2005, 03:59 PM

Great pics! Lovely car.

That 'Thunderbird' is Keio University's electric car with a motor on each wheel, able to out-accelerate almost anything petrol-driven up to 300km/hr. I would love to have seen that.

Looks a good event, bet the Ferraris sounded good drag racing!

Did you get any pictures of the grey R32 in the background?

gfunk · 25th September 2005, 05:44 PM

F40 for me to

stu its the one in the first photo

stuartstaples · 25th September 2005, 06:27 PM

Sorry

Missed it. F50 for me all day long. And not just cos I'm bitter about messing up.

Demon Dave · 25th September 2005, 09:49 PM

thanks guys - unfortunately I missed most of the day and didn't manage to get many decent pics

Sky 1t: my car is completely standard (AFAIK) so that's an original exhaust on the back

what was surprising for me - most of those Ferraris had Yamanashi number plates, now Yamanashi aint that big and in 6 years here I haven't seen 'em!

They must be kept well under wraps for most of the year

3rd picture 5th car up actually !!!

And the door is in the edge of photo 5 !!!

Although I was counting on an imperial scale, whereas Dino was no doubt using metric - which could account for the discrepancies !!

G'night !!

DCD · 26th September 2005, 02:24 AM

Doh...yes indeed 3rd picture.
