Saturday 1st March was the NISMO Motorsport Exhibition in Yokohama. Basically every year they show off their latest Japanese GT500 race car. This year was special as the 350Z (or Fairlady Z in Japan) has been replaced by the latest GT-R. Boy does that thing look awesome! Also it was the first time I had seen a normal road GT-R in the metal and that looks pretty tasty too. It's £35k in Japan and will go on sale in UK for £55 - I am very tempted to by one but if I didn't I wouldn't be able to afford to drive it!
Also at the event were loads of old Nissans and Nissan racing cars including some demo runs in old Gt500 and LeMans cars.
Sunday Emi and I went to Fuji-Q Highland theme park with her friends. Fuji-Q has (or might be had) two world record rides - Fujiyama (means Fuji Mountain) which is the highest rollercoaster and Eejanaika (name of an old Japanese dielect) which has the most inversions (14 in 60 seconds if my memory is correct). The other ride of note is Dodonpa that goes from 0 to 110mph at a rate of 4.25g! To top this off the weather was beautiful with amazing views of Fuji all day - it is only about 5km from the base.
