    Seen a few pics before, but regardless, its the most amazing collection of badass cars.

    Fair few manufacturers have similarly cool stuff.

    Audi and Toyota both have gooduns inc the Mk1 MR2 GrpB rallycar that never came to light, and the Audi GrpS rally car.

    This is 3 of my fave cars ever all in a row...

    The Bluebird in the middle is prob my fave!

    Is that the R30 2nd to last?

    Possibly my favourite car of all time followed closely by the F40 LM

    I looked around but I couldn't find any other manufacturers collections :(

    and out of those 3 it's gotta be the R30!

    They used S15s after.

    Less powerful but serious torque, as IIRC they had inlet restrictors but not boost limits, 500lbft

    What are mechanical condition of these cars? I mean, do they maintain them properly or they're just a visual exhibits? Maybe both, depending on car?

    Can I add - the collection is astonishing.

    Have been past where this place is many times it is litterally just down the road from my house. I had heard about it but never thought it was as impressive as this.

    Might have to dig out some old Nissan contacts and get an invite to this place.

    Toyota have a museum in Nagoya and although it covers 2 or 3 floors of space it is no where near the size of this and would not have the historical significance either.
