First service today

[tokyogtr]

Went to the Performance Center at Shinagawa today for the car's first service. Dropped it off at 9am, will be ready around 4pm. Saw a smashed up silver R35 there, looking very sorry for itself. Some other R35s and a blue R34 too also there.

Will take more pics but for now here are some pics of the accessories with some price tags. Oh, and for those who have been asking about spare wheels, yes, you can buy the smoked version seperately. Price as per photo.

Tokyo - I see you go to the same dealer I do. Hope to see you around there, then. I skip the "regular" dealership and hang out with the Motorsports guys, though (small shack on the side).

unfortunately i don't speak anywhere near enough japanese to hang out with the motorsports guys. you should go check out that smashed up silver r35. not a pretty site. heading back there this afternoon about 4pm.

Where do they fit and why on earth didnt Nissan fit them as standard.....

Thanks

[tokyogtr]

they go in the front intakes. not standard because, to be honest, they look complete shite. it's very common for taxis here to have them fitted and run as day lights. on the gt-r though they just look rice.

If we get a chance, I'll be happy to introduce you, those guys are real motorheads, and have never steered me wrong with respect to service, parts, etc. A bit more expensive, but I don't have to worry about commissions, or bad or biased advice (ie like some tuners). Also, if you join their members club - SSCT (skyline sports club tokyo)- you also get 10% off parts and service, too. (but have to admit not sure this applies to R35 items)...

PS - and have fun in NZ!!
