Nissan's chief R35 GT-R test driver Toshio Suzuki has opened his own GT-R shop in Iruma in Japan's Saitama Prefecture. You'll remember Suzuki from all the Nissan GT-R's "record-setting" laps on the Nurburgring Nordschleife. He was behind the wheel during the 7:26.70 run, and you can watch video of that lap.

Suzuki's shop is called Nordring. In addition to servicing GT-Rs, he plans to develop a tuning brand. If you happen to be in Japan, you can visit the shop and see the actual Dunlop tires (F: 255/40ZRF20, R: 285/35ZRF20) from his 7:26.70 lap of the Nordscheife. Or, you can just follow the jump and see a photo.

I think dark gray is a good color for these.

Must be nice to be around all these beautiful machines all day. Maybe I'll send him a resume. Lol!

So the car is designated the R35? I know there was some controversy over whether it was an R35 or a V35.
