The Trust booth at R’s Meeting 2023 is full of highlights

“R’s Meeting 2023 in Fuji Speedway” was held at Fuji Speedway on Sunday, October 29, 2023. Nissan’s “Skyline GT-R” and “GT-R” specialized magazine “GT-R Magazine” will be present at this event for GT-R fans, a tuning company that produces tuning for Nissan cars and GT-Rs. Let’s introduce the booths and items that interest you from among the 92 booths of manufacturers and other exhibitors.

Displaying MY24 R35 GT-R NISMO

At the TRUST booth, the latest MY24, the R35 GT-R NISMO, was displayed in front of the booth. This GT-R NISMO is equipped with Dunlop’s SP SPORT MAXX GT600 DSST CTT, Rays’ prototype 20-inch wheels, GReddy’s decals, etc., but this specification was completed the day before in conjunction with this day’s R’s Meeting. It is said to be a thing.

By the way, the vehicle on display will be a demo car, and for development purposes, the truck edition will be used to confirm the compatibility of parts and carry out new research and development. This time, only the tires and wheels were customized, but it seems possible that we will see new parts at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Parts display focuses on the 2nd generation GT-R

The demo car on display was the latest R35 GT-R, but the parts at the booth were mainly for the second generation GT-R. Currently, early models of the R34 GT-R are becoming more popular in North America due to the so-called 25-year rule, and various brands are once again paying attention to RB26DETT engine parts.

Trust is also conducting a test in Japan as a joint project between Japan and the United States with Greddy in North America, and is considering taking some kind of action. I don’t know if it will be sold as a standalone RB26 engine, or if it will be a complete car equipped with that engine, but there is no doubt that it is a project that I am looking forward to seeing come to fruition.

Only at the event can you actually see and touch it.

Therefore, inside the Trust booth, there were many parts for the RB26 on display, including surge tanks and parts including prototype pipes. Other items on display included steering wheels, shift knobs, and apparel, and various owners could be seen visiting the booth to pick up and inspect the parts.

After all, it is only at a GT-R-only event that manufacturers are able to source pinpoint parts. In that sense, it seemed like the perfect event to appeal to owners. By the way, many of the owners who saw the black surge tank and picked it up commented, “It’s nice.”

As a side note, there is a hidden popular part of the Trust that I wasn’t able to see at the booth this time. It’s a shift knob shaped like an underwater flower. In fact, this shift knob is said to be handmade, and is reportedly in short supply.

Rooftop tents are a new option that has rapidly become popular over the past five years.

We picked up interesting exhibits from the “Yokohama Camper Show 2023″ held at Pacifico Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture from October 21st to 22nd, 2023. This time, we will introduce a “rooftop tent” that can be attached to the roof of a regular vehicle rather than a camper or trailer.

The latest model uses ABS material!Comfortable to use even under harsh conditions

At the Yokohama Camper Show, where many campers gathered, I discovered a brand called James BAROUD that specializes in rooftop tents.

A rooftop tent is a tent that is installed on top of a roof carrier attached to a typical passenger car. When retracted, it is about the size of a roof box, but when unfolded, a large space appears that can accommodate two adults, depending on the product. Of course, compared to installing a campervan, it is quite reasonable and there is no need to replace the vehicle, so it is rapidly gaining popularity as a new option.

There are different types and methods of rooftop tents: soft shell types that open up to look like a large tent, and hard shell types that are sandwiched between a hard shell case on the top and bottom. Furthermore, among the hard shell types, there are shell types where the top opens diagonally with one side as a fulcrum, and tower types that open straight upwards.

Newly introduced at this event was a tower-shaped rooftop tent called ODYSSEY M, which uses a new ABS material for the shell material. It was installed in a demo car, the Mitsubishi Delica D:5, to give an idea of ​​the atmosphere and size of the device when it was actually installed in a vehicle.

Can be installed on many vehicles and allows two adults to sleep comfortably

The size when stored is 140cm wide x 198cm long and only 33.5cm thick. By unfolding this, the top shell rises approximately 1m upwards. It’s basically the size of a double bed, so two adults can sleep comfortably. The upper and lower parts of the shell are assisted by hydraulic dampers, making it easy for one person to work. It also has a mechanism that locks it in the unfolded state, making it highly wind resistant.

By the way, a big advantage of rooftop tents is that since the tent is installed on top of the car, there is good ventilation in the summer and you can sleep comfortably. It can be said that this system is well-suited to the hot and humid climate of Japan.

There are other types available depending on the purpose.

James Burrowd has a rooftop tent mounted on a trailer for demonstration purposes, and is exhibiting it at events across the country, and this time as well, in addition to the latest ODYSSEY M, they will be displaying two rooftop tents mounted on a trailer. They also introduced the company’s spot coolers and portable power supplies.

The price of ODYSSEY M is 599,500 yen (tax included). Considering the cost of introducing a camper, it can be considered reasonable. Rooftop tents also have the advantage of being able to be removed when not needed. It seems that it can be installed in many car models if a general roof carrier can be attached.
