The Most Legendary Skylines in the WORLD - Nismo Fest 2022

Geeking out all day getting to see some of the most famous shops and builds in the world of Nissans. Thankful we got to go to Fuji Speedway on the last day of our trip! LZMFG.com

This will probably get lost in the comments but AN fittings and heim joints were both designed and built for the American armed forces. AN actually stands for Army Navy, and we're engineered before WW2. Heim joints were came out in 1942. Learning that AN stands for Army Navy explains why their default color scheme is red and blue, which I've always found super interesting!

[@davisharr]

Hey thanks for sharing this, I had no idea and find this fact quite interesting! Funny enough the first time I saw AN fittings used, a neigbour who was a car guy and airforce mechanic was using them, they where old used take off parts the air force told them to throw away when they where replaced, but instead of trashing good parts the airplane techs where taking them home and using them on their own projects 😅

[@EpicManaphyDude]

@@davisharr that’s somehow even cooler than the fact that they’re military hardware to begin with! thanks!

[@rowanquayle7598]

Bump for the knowledge!! 🤯🤓

[@Dungfunnel]

Heim joints were originally made by the Germans. Americans copied them and called them heim joints. In other parts of the world they’re called rose joints or rod ends.

U need to do a japanese track style build

8:25 Bob Sharp is a former racing driver and race team owner. He is known for (successfully) competing in the SCCA and IMSA championships, using Nissan Zs as his weapon of choice.

The only shop I use to work at use to be bob sharps old shop. A family friend knows him and owns on of his old cars

[@zarekmoffatt1287]

So cool that we’ve really been able to escape our day to day lives for even just 15-20 minutes through these past few weeks to join you guys on what I feel like has probably been a trip of a life time for you guys! Happy Holidays LZ fam and friends, and wishing you all the best this holiday season.

[@CODE-BROWN]

That view of the racetrack and the hills behind it. Absolutely beautiful. I really hope Mike can snip some goodies out of this for future posters.

[@Mvp-Crow]

I so love how you kept the kid screaming in the outro.. that was such a great moment and your a legend for doing that for him/them. I watched his channel for his perspective and it was a dream come true for him.. your a baller..

[@InfectedByZanza]

Yo Adam, Ive been a long time subscriber, from the days you used to bike and vlog, good times. I love how far you have come, from your early Biking days, to buying a house, to doing random upgrades on your bmw, to s13, random parking spots drift with friends, to absolutely exploding. Love the vids my man, keep it up !

[@bamboosho0t]

Japanese (and other countries too) people are appreciative when people not from their country *care* enough to TRY speaking their language. When I spoke German in Germany, I noticed a similar reaction. I presume because so many (likely Americans) travel there and *expect* them to speak English. If I'm coming to your country, it is only right for me to learn some basics of your language. That's just being courteous, and they appreciate it.

[@yamondakawazuki8941]

Kinda doesn’t matter where you go, there’s people who will be welcoming and hospitable, usually there’s an equal amount of people to be repulsed by your presence an offended at your appreciation of their culture.

[@TheKatWeasel]

I also found this when I toured Algeria with British Army, I did my best to speak Arabic/French with their armed forces and not only did it bring laughter, but also an appreciation for one another. I’ll remember that tour forever.

[@samlepro3]

6:00 that titanium muffler is just 🤤🤤🤤

[@DiViNiTY1337]

Breakfast with that view and the sounds of Super GT testing in the background? Really living the absolute dream Adam!

[@Motivate-Is-Key]

Loving watching Sammit then LZ. Been great because together it makes one great show 🤙🏼

[@SethHollingshead]

Yes! You finally said it. The celica 3sgte..is well slept on. AWD turbo. Beast mode.

[@jesse.1691]

Took him a while 😅

[@BobbyDigital_100]

That was absolutely sick. The attention to detail and the GranTurismo like nostalgic vibes I got in the museum 🔥🔥🙏🏾for sharing 🫡

[@yazidnuradile1333]

The Mazda 787B on display at the hotel is the exact car that won the 1991 Le Mans 24 hour race. Thus, Mazda became the first team from Japan to win the prestigious race series. At that time, the driver who crossed the finish line with the F1-sounding racing machine was Johnny Herbert (UK). Interestingly, after he stopped the 787B, he had to be taken to a medical facility due to exhaustion and passed out. It shows he is determined to win the race for the rising sun. There is a video of it too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5rOXn-up9l0m5I

[@Ltbookum]

And (maybe not so) surprisingly it's rotary setup was so much faster then the rest it was deemed a unfair advantage and it was banned from further competition.

[@JDMRightHandDrive]

🔥The Nismo Festival looks so amazing. I am setting a personal goal to make it to Japan next year to see if for myself. Great content, keep it up! What an Epic hotel for sure. Nismo cast elbows for an RB26! I have never seen those before! Wow they look beautiful.

[@Ben_here_b4]

Happy y’all had such an awesome trip and what a great way to end it. Safe travels and looking forward to seeing you stateside again!

[@Ltbookum]

Seeing all those JDM classics always reminds me of the grand turismo series. Get the whole series together and start enjoying. They always had the best and most rare JDM models (both road and race cars) with library like info to go along with it. A source of intel by itself these days. Very Japanese in style and execution as well. That combined with racing Tamiya RC cars which made the best official JDM racecars recreations is what filled my childhood love for cars.

[@rooob-toob5845]

Literally was thinking the same thing.

[@oscarsoto8610]

1:43 this sound after work just lifted me up from the hell hole i was in😂

The Nismo festival are amazing in Fuji speed way already

[@tradzar]

Loved the whole trip and being able to experience it with you guys hope it was very memorable for you two.

[@ndk2k4]

Fun Fact, Nissan chose the most famous skyline in Japan, Mount Fuji breaking the horizon, as their logo to represent the skyline line-up of cars in North America. That's where the Infiniti logo came from.

8:17 i'm assuming you already know this but basically when nissan released the z, they put it under datsun in the states because they were afraid that if it failed, It would've damage the nissan name. turned out to be a massive hit

[@lucasdamask]

As an italian i can say something about the Japanese people seeming like they like when you speak Japanese, it's the same here, we all speak English but make sure that we don't speak it to the tourists. and we feel estatic when a tourist tries to speak Italian, we even help them with the words. That is about pride in our culture, and Japanese people are the same. You don't need to speak it right, just trying will earn you a lot of respect.

[@rjfalcatan6094]

Glad to see you have some respect for Celicas! They are very slept on and I think people are starting to take notice of them

All these builds are sooo clean. To the untrained eye, most of them just look OEM under the hood.

Was cool to see you at the hotel!, I bought a wheel from the Penzoil R33 from the Nismo garage sale ;) Definitely helps getting the pre-allocated tickets!

[@aaronsteele7585]

The wrx's brought back memories! Back in 2001 i preorderd one for the 02 model year bugeye. Got one of the first 250 (first shipment) imported into the states. Owned it for 3 years. Sold her to go to college and regret it everyday!

[@dasgtr]

@11:00 What a magnificent sight to see the two 2003 NISMO GT500 GT-Rs together. These are not modified production R34GT-Rs, but were purpose-built racing cars. In 2002 season, Nissan endured a disappointing season with what was to be the last iteration of the RB26 powered GT500 GT-R. As great as the RB26 was, the GT-R could not overcome its inherit limitations on engine placement and weight against the V8 powered Supras and the mid-engined NSXs. For 2003, the powertrain and chassis rules were rewritten, allowing more open interpretations of the production-based racing cars JGTC was based on. The 2003 GT500 NISMO GT-R was a completely clean-sheet design that exploited every part of the rulebook to gain performance. The new chassis was built with pipe frames front and rear, allowing the overall profile of the car to be lower. With the lower chassis, the new VQ30DETT V6 twin-turbo replaced the RB26, and was mated to a trans-axle type gearbox that contributed to the car's improved weight balance. The lighter, more agile GT-R exhibited a more oversteer characteristic, with drivers praising its vastly improved handling, and was able to compete with the V8 powered Supras on straights and the NSXs in corners.

[@jimforkin4372]

i believe the motors used on the 787b intakes are the same used in mx5/miata headlights

[@randybryant9936]

Very cool

[@WigneyR]

Nice of you to give permission to sammit to wrap the WRX neon pink while you’re back home 😜

[@davidrunyon]

Here's a hint. You're probably an Apple iPhone owner, but Google Pixel has a really great translate feature. Audio and visual. And it works quite well. Something to think about next time you're international is to get a Pixel to use as a translator.

[@AtownBurns]

As a fellow Adam I support this video! Killin it my dude!

[@rjrgates]

It'd be a pretty epic Garden piece. Take some Edge trimming from a regular Garden supplies. spell out LZ compound(or something of your choosing) fill that with your zinc bolts and do the black bolts around it.
