The Car Lovers Guide To Japan, Nismo Omori Factory

Some freshly restored or immaculately maintained classic Nissans await pick up. Look how clean that R32 is!  A Z33 is here and a I think that’s an F31 in front of it. All of these cars look brand new, like museum pieces.

The Omori Factory has an extensive accessory and parts shop that we just had to go look at and drool over.

You can handle stuff but you are instructed to put on these white gloves first so you don’t cause smudges or fingerprints on the parts.

This case had smaller cosmetic Nismo parts like emblems, shift knobs, harnesses, radiator caps and oil filler caps.

Nismo had the clout to have Nissan reissue many brand new OEM parts for classic Nissans that were discontinued.  These are called Nissan Heritage parts.  I wish Nissan USA would just stock parts so we could fix our cars and build engines and transmissions without long delays.  Lame parts service and availability is one of the reasons why I quit racing Nissans.

  1. Nissan outside of Japan is only interested in selling you their disposable piles of junk rather than assist you to freshen up the Nissan that you currently own.

  2. I have been a couple times, but always enjoy seeing these cars. R31s probably haven’t been at the top of many people’s lists, but that GTS-R is very cool. I have a little die-cast of that R91CP and was actually in Japan when they were racing – really wish I had gotten a chance to see them. Appreciate the coverage!

  3. Man the RB26DETT looks decidedly old school by today’s standards. What’s the included valve angle on those? Looks extremely wide given the angle of the cam covers.

    And the VR38 looks awfully tall!

  4. Thank you for sharing your time at Nismo. As a devoted subscriber to SCC, I’ve always enjoyed your photography and narration.
