We visited Nissan's Zama storage facility and saw a spectacular collection of historically significant Nissan cars dating back before WW2.
Travis' post covered much of what we saw there - I'm sure you've seen (or can find) it by now. Part 4. 11.09.07 Visit to Ultimate Z Garage

[ http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2122389/Part-5-111007-Ultimate-Z-Car-Club-Fiesta-Tochigi-Japan.html ] Last picture set from last November's trip to Japan with Mad Mike of the ZCCA. This was a continuation of the Z Car Festa car show put on by Testu and his shop Ultimate Z Car Garage. The Nissan's Tochigi Assembly Plant is surrounded by a high speed oval test track. On this day the Ultimate Z crew was allowed to use the track as part of the Z Car Festa they put on. The weather was overcast and drizzly but that didn't stop anyone from having a great time. There was an autocross set up in the infield, high speed runs on the oval, a drift exibition, all the usual faces and a crazy car that drove left when you turned right. Nissan allowed folks to store their cars inside the Tochigi facilities the night before so that it wasn't a bottle neck getting into the track the day of the event. Here is everyone getting ready to roll inside. 
Nissan provide a LDH factory new 350z for us to beat up on while we where @ the track.
 Banked ovals are fun @ 251km/h in the rain.
