[Richardrfo]

This warehouse holds what I can only imagine is every type of Nissan ever built, with beautiful classics and one-off creations.

56k Warning!

WHAT...no 06 xterra and no 87 nissan hardbody?!?! That collection just sucks unless it has the Nissan's I have owned.


Just kidding....WOW that is some fantastic stuff there. I didn't know they made a compact version of a model T!

 

[Roo]

Nice! Good to see some of the stuff I've only ever seen in Gran Tursimo in the metal.

 

[JCE]

I'm truely speechless. That was nut-bustingly awsome. Some of those cars are just too cool. If I ever get rich I do plan on having a warehouse of sorts to do something like this. Seeing vintage Datsuns and Nissans in such perfect shape almost brings a tear to my eye. And if my eyes aren't deciving me I swore I saw an RSX Turbo.

I didn't know they made a compact version of a model T!

I'd say It's more of a Model A. To be a "T" It'd have to have planetary transmission and the throttle on the steering column.

But, yeah, I can tell Kaz has been in that garage. That's so awesome.

 

[exigeracer]

I've never been a terrible big Skyline fan, but those R34 JGTC racers exhume a ludicrously large amount of badassery.

 

[Thirdeye]

-drools at the real life calsonic skyline- awesome pics. Thanks for posting that!

 

[Rykon Zero]

What were those really small race cars?

these.

 

[Sakiale]

Go-karts?

What was the red and white one below the R390s?

Share the wealth! I'd be happy with a 1st-gen GT-R... or a R31 or R32 or R33 or R34... or 280z or Silvia or Fairlady or any Z-car...
Or street legal R390.


PS. I do spot an Xterra.

 

[HKS-V]

Wow, nice post !! Nissan at it's best.
Love the jgtc cars (Y).

Thank you for posting this up!

 

[opendriver]

The R31 silhouette !!!
The R390 GT1- the only one!

Awesome collection!

And what the hell is a Mid4?


And the address of this warehouse is???

 

[JCE]

That Mid4 was the test mule for the upcoming 300ZX (back then)--or more correctly the VG30DETT engine platform.

Oh and I can't believe I forgot to comment about the stunning R34 GT-R Vspec Nur. So beautiful to see one in the sheetmetal. I'd sell all of your children to touch one.

 

[TopHat]

Man look at all of those late 50's american car look-a-likes!

 

[Cap'n Jack]

The R390 GT1- the only one!

Actually, I'm sure there are two. I believe there is a red short-tail one and the blue one is the long-tail.

EDIT: Not actually sure if the red one exists, I can only find pictures of it as a slotcar and model car.

 

[toyomatt84]

No R34 Nismo Z-Tune, eh?

Oh well, I'd take most any car in that collection.

 

[-Fred-]

The non-restored rally cars are totally badass... as is pretty much everything else in there. 👍

Only one road legal R390 and it's already broken, that's quite funny.

 

[V1P3R]

I'm not really a nissan guy but... wow! 👍

 

[Turbo Lag]

Im speechless.

 

[GT Pro]

Simply awesome, the GT cars, four-door Autech GT-R and the one-off R390 road car particularly. Should I ever become a billionaire that collection will be at the top of my shopping list.

 

[Muzaffar]

I can't believe it!!!! That lucky b******!!!! He is ever so lucky, not only he get to visit the place, he gets to sit inside the R390 GT1!!!! Man, if only i could switch places with him, i could have live my dream....

Oh yeah, i notice there is one race car with Jean Todt's name on it. Didn't even know he was involved with Nissan before.....

 

[Jay]

Wow, that is amazing! Thank you very much for linking this

 

[Turbo Lag]

My favos:
Old GT-Rs
Calsonic R32
R31 Silhoutte Skyline
R390
Mid4 (Never heard of it before, dunno what the hell it is)
GT-R R33 Fuji Speedway pace car
Skyline R34 M-Spec Nur in Jade Green (Definitely one of the best looking cars ever.)
4 door GT-R
Z33 - 000001 (why was this meant to be killed?)

Holy crap, I guess I've been there before!

When I was in 4th or 5th grade, all the local grade school students in our grade got to tour local car manufacturing plants. One of our teachers won the right to tour the Nissan's Zama plant. Only car manufacturing plant I've ever visited. Accoding to wiki, that plant was closed when Nissan hit hard times, and is now being used as this "storage facility". Kind of bittersweet.

I still remember my friend from another grade school, their school weren't so lucky and had to tour Isuzu plant or something.

Nice! 👍 Now all we need is to arrange a meeting and go together there as a GTP school trip/ tour.

Z33 - 000001 (why was this meant to be killed?)

Well its mostly because the 1st car would always be used mainly for testing. Then to get rid of the evidence, they destroy the car.

 

[Turbo Lag]

I like destroying stuff, they shouldve given it to me Anyway lets start gathering people so we can go on a GTP tour round there

Test cars (this one doesn't look anything like a test car) usually run different chassis numbers to the the production models so they don't find their way into the general population. They are usually crushed so pre-production parts, again, don't get used on production cars as spares (and kill someone) and also so they can claim back the VAT.

But don't they use actual production cars for the crash test or something? Sorry, my bad for not typing "crash testing" But i don't know, usually the 1st production car out the factory would never reach the customers, isn't that something.....

I'd have thought that the 1st production model would most likely sit in a museum. Oh look, it does!

I doubt they'd bother putting a chassis number on a crash test car. If they did i bet its more likely to be a test/pre-production chassis plate - again to differentiate the 'sold to the public - who could potentially sue us' ones to the ones that will go to the crusher.

 

[Gabkicks]

yeah this is an amazing collection of pictures. Best motoring went here a for 1 of their shoots iirc.👍
