NISMO FESTIVAL 2nd Dec - picture thread. - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Newera · 3rd December 2007, 05:43 AM

Woke up Sunday morning, checked outside. Cold, but bright - with no threats of rain. Perfect

Got on the bike and rode the 100 miles to Fuji circuit, passing loads of GT-R's, Z's, Silvias and other Nissan sports cars on the way. Was trying to spot GTROC member's cars, but didn't see any on the way at all...

Wasn't hard to spot JasonO and Scott who were evidently enjoying the event. Managed to run into pretty much everyone who'd gone.

Highlight of the day for me was being in the pits, seeing these cars close up. Bonnets weren't opened much, sadly - so I had to make do with listening to these cars. The Le Mans machines made all the hairs on my head stick on end. What a sound!

Waited till the end to hear and see the new R35 500GT car. Sounded gorgeous!

Roll on Tsukuba time attack on 6th Dec where one tuner's hinted they'll have an R35 GT-R out there...

!

Here's the first few pics. More shortly...

Brilliant, Miguel. So you did stay, and you did get some shots!!!

As I was doing other stuff on Saturday I heard an unfamiliar roar coming from the pits. Gradually I sensed a change in the atmosphere and suddenly I found myself running to see where the noise was coming from. They had some kind of prototype in silver, but I only managed to get one fuzzy shot. Someone said "an N1 version", but Dino checked that rumour out on Sunday and it had been a test run of an early stage tune attempt???

It's not so much going to see the new GT500 GTR 35, I suddenly realized. You go to hear it too, but more than that you feel it with your whole being, the vibration of it, the howl of it, the movement of it, the smoothness and simplicity of the gear changes, and like it or not you allow something new to imprint itself into your soul.
