Just got back from Nissan Headquarters in Tokyo- GTR PICS!!!

Just got back from Japan and here are some pics from the Nissan Headquarters gallery in Ginza/Tokyo. The GTR is SWEET in person. Pics don't do it any justice. They were really cool @ the gallery and didn't mind me taking tons of pics, sitting in the cars, etc.... Oh, and the other thing is the special edition of the silver (can't recall the name off the top of my head) is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING in person. Anyways, more pics from the rest of my vacation in the next couple of days...enjoy these for now......













































oops...

Synth, nice pics. last time i was in tokyo i didn't get to any of the auto headquarters. too bad, looks pretty sweet. i did go to the sony headquarters in ginza though. that was sick, 5 floors if i remember and 1 floor devoted completely to the playstation. some of those widescreen lcds and oled tvs were amazing. thanks for the shots, can't wait to see a gtr in person.

Sweet... I could swear that I've seen pics of the dealer before somewhere else, but it's nice to see them from different angles...

I hate to admit it, but I agree with water-s... the red one rocks...

nice pics synth...thanks for sharing!

I agree with bigman though...doesn't quite make sense why they didn't just put shocks under the hood

I was in Tokyo for the end of my honeymoon. I didn't go to the headquarters but I did walk into the Nissan showroom in Ginza. It was very cool to sit in one...

I know everyone has mixed emotions about this car's looks, but after finally seeing it in person and in this color, I think the car is simply spectacular on all accounts...

I seriously can't see how anyone thinks these things aren't totally big bossin. It makes that 335i coupe look frumpy for christsakes! It's everything a Japanese supercar should be and nothing it shouldn't

Weird angles and cut lines make the greenhouse look like they were drawn by a 4-year old or Chris Bangle while he was drunk, while the fender and hood have disharmonious bulges and flares on them = unattractive like a bulldog. Compare that to the smooth flowing lines of the 350Z and 3-series coupe in the photos above.

Lighter colors seem to mitigate the disharmony of the GTR's lines as seen in photos. Hopefully the car looks better in person; I haven't seen one yet.
