Always great to see the pics and see this event...NISMO is getting a new center and there will be more investment into it.

It's one of the biggest one-make events in Japan - and a celebration of Nissan's racing brand and its international activities. The NISMO Festival, which took place today at the Fuji International Speedway, is probably about the closest thing that Japan has to a 'Festival of Speed', with as much of the appeal coming from demonstrations, stalls and a chance to get close to some of Nissan's most famous cars as it does from the on-track action.
Most of the racing is fairly tame, designed to show the cars to the thousands of fans that turn up rather than to trade paint for a podium finish - and with different eras (and sometimes classes) of cars sometimes sharing the track together, it's rarely a straight fight. Highlights included a chance to see Nissan's GT1-championship-winning GT-R, piloted by champion Michael Krumm, the mighty Nissan R390 Le Mans car and numerous examples of the iconic Skyline GT-R. Away from the track, visitors could openly visit cars in the paddock and the pit garages, while the large number of retail stands offered everything from intercoolers to NISMO-branded bedspreads.
All in all, a fun day out...

As a former NISMO freak ( with tons of NISMO mods done to my G35) I am loving these meets. Nissan is a great Japanese performance brand and NISMO just makes it that much sweeter

Out of Warranty
Intake plumbing is reminiscent of the late '60's F1 "bundle of snakes" exhaust system, a 4 into 1 configuration for the V12 and other engines that attempted to connect cylinders with a spaced-pulse resonant tube, all tuned to the upper reaches of the power band. Extraction effect was as impressive as the appearance of the manifold was complex, with all cylinders having exhaust passages tuned to length.
"Bundle of Snakes" seen here on a late '60's F1 Ferrari
Try fitting all that exhaust along with the turbo plumbing under the hood of your track car . . . .

You be quiet, you got a V12
But is true that the higher you go, the more poor you feel because you associate with people with way more money and the sky is the limit. Is like if you got one Enzo, some people have 10, 100.......
Is like you go to the pebble beach concours d'elegance, only billionaires feels rich there, all the mere millionaires just feels average as their entire net worth can't even afford some of those cars there.
