Unsure what you want to do with your life? Interested in cars but not sure how to pursue your dream career? Nissan Technical College in Yokohama might be a way to combine your study with your passion. Here we have some photos of the brochure for the college. I think I could get through the day knowing next lesson was VR38DETT 101.

Few more pics of the brochure after the jump.

Car Festa 2008 in Fukushima kicks off tomorrow and should be a decent one for Nissan GT-R fans. At the show will be GT-R’s from MCR, YellowHat and others. The show runs on Saturday and Sunday and will feature loads of modified and custom cars from all spectrums as well as live music and drifting exhibitions and tonnes and tonnes of girls.

MCR have already setup for the show, here’s a sneak peak at their stand at Car Festa 2008.

It’s been a few days now I can post a model story again without feeling too guilty. One Japanese hobbyist has taken a more creative approach to building his Tamiya 1/24th scale GT-R and painted it up in Japanese Police car style.

I’d sign up if these cars were real.

Zele have been developing these for some time now and today they have announced pricing, availability and details on their FZ-ROM Type I and FZ-ROM Type-II ECU upgrades.

FZ-ROM Type I

The type I upgrade modifies the fuel, timing and ignition maps as well as a slight boost increase (0.1 kg/cm² – 1.5 PSI). The speed limiter is raised to 260 km/h. The best thing is that these come with a 20,000 km engine warranty.

Price: 189,000 yen ($1,800 USD)

FZ-ROM Type II

The type II performs all of the changes of the type I but completely removes the speed limiter and raises the rev limiter to 7,200 rpm. This type comes with no warranty and a price drop to match.

Price: 136,000 yen

These ECU’s are available for pre-order now and will be officially released on July 4th.
