I have already gone through just how insane Rs Meeting was in Part 1 (Here) and I want to just keep adding some commentary about the day as well as sharing some of the 1500 or so images we took on the day…
With so many pictures I decided to stop editing and go with what I had…
Tad from Grand Touring cruising next to a GTSR, essentially the GTR for the R31 series! I would recommend having a read of Tad’s blog here, he is extremely knowledgeable on all things GTR!Maybe a 32 is more your style? Which car would you pick here? I know what I would take – chug chug…Wherever you looked in town there were cars everywhere! At first we started snapping pics of any cars we saw, like this, before realising we should save it for the vent so we had the memory card space (& focus!)Moving onto the displays at the festival – Enext GTR had some beauties on display.I believe the white car is Enext’s own car, they finished just before the event and the engine bay was one of my favourites. A lot of stock parts have been ‘blacked out’.Midnight purple is guaranteed to get the internet points!It is not hard to see why…These Reimax intakes were beautiful, whilst not a common brand in Australia they are very popular in Japan.Next to Enext was Garage Active – their wide body 33 and 32 were popular all day with people swarming all over them!You really have to see them in person to appreciate the craftsmanship.A bit further down were Mines, their legendary cars on display.The 34 was the main attraction at the display. As Ale from bnr34gtr.com pointed out on the day the VIN was covered up to hide it from peering eyes (& lenses), another great blog and his Rs Meeting coverage can be found here – have a read after you have finished here haha.Make no mistake, these aren’t show cars – the repairs/damage under the hood indicates it has probably said hello to a wall at some stage…Next to mines was MCR or Matchless Crowd Racing. Silver has never been my first pick on 34s but this looked amazing, I really like the lack of side skirts and rear pods, not to mention the ‘regular’ rear wing stays. Funny how your preferences change, admittedly the revised front bumper helps… The Robson display car already had a pretty nice interior being a M Spec Nur with the factory leather interior, always room to improve though! Here the leather seats and alcantara finish goes well with the carbon gear surrounds. There were modifications on the outside and under the bonnet as well!Choices, choices, choices…Motul had their wares on sale.No surprises to see GTR Magazine selling some of their back issues, etc.I also spotted this Mines tuned Nissan/Nismo March out of the display area, must admit I feel a strong need as one for a daily…There were a few non GTRs in the area (they were still Nissan’s though…)This car in the event area but not in the display area as such, belongs to race car driver Tsugio Matsuda. It is quite a extensive build car from what I understand and peeking into the interior confirms that…When you have your name in your car…. red on red!I gave up on picking what car I would take if I could have one during the day…Of course there was action on the track for what felt like the entire day!Big fan of Advan GTs, something different from the usual LM/TE choice on a lot of GTRs.We kept walking around, here we have cars from the staging area – staging for photos in the owners book GTR Magazine prints after Rs Meetings.Silver TEs are a big yes from me!Active Red is always interesting to see in person, being so rare it almost looks odd!Some could watch the action from the restaurant in the middle of the circuit.GTR Magazines own 34 wearing BBS wheels.Their R35 was close by.And so was this unicorn…Some owners are not shy of stickers!One of my favourite 33s, a lot of mods but it didn’t look over complicated.From here I am going to take you through the pits and car park on our way out, as there were plenty more cars still to see.As close to a GTR you can get without being a GTR?! If you have eagle eyes you might have noticed the corresponding number plate…If you are across your blogs this car will be familiar to you…Red is rare across all the series of GTR! The sun came back out at at this stage…Talking about number plates, 23 is a popular Japanese place when you drive a Nissan!
That wraps up my coverage from Rs Meeting 2019, it was a truly unbelievable event, I hope you have enjoyed coming along for the ride with me. If you ever get a chance I recommend you go!
