I've never really done off piste boarding, so I don't think doing it by myself for the first time in Japan is a good idea. So if its just groomed runs I guess i don't really need to worry about deep powder? As far as the hostels go, just something that is in a good spot and has a bit of a social scene as I'll be by myself.

My bros at Barrel Bros gettin to work:

Also, any good hostels you could recommend?

Yeah can't seem to find any flights with Jetstar to Sapporo out of Tokyo or Osaka. Also, how is Niseko for boarding? I have a Burton twin which apparently isn't very good for powder. Should I just hire a board?

I use a Replay XD1080 and I'm very happy with it. Can't speak of it's outdoor mic quality though

I'm going for these ones: Apparently they have adjustability -/+ 5 degrees. Should I have any issues with this kit? And they say compatible with 32 GTST, I'm assuming GTR is the same right?

Will pull it apart this weekend to see if there's any play Soon!!!

Nope, still waiting for them to be delivered. I ordered them almost a month ago! Will report in when they are fitted and tested on the track. Cheers

Thanks mate. Had a look at flights and I will save a bit of cash if I wait until the second half of jan, would that be a better time for snow? also, I'm going to be backpacking by myself. What's a better social/nightlife scene, Niseko or Hakuba?

How's the snow around Christmas time? Our company break up for the period and I thought I might fit in a week or two if the snow is good.

Hey guys, I'm currently looking at some rear lower control arms to shorten shorten the rear. I currently have about 3 degrees of camber in the rear, but I can't dial it in any further. Will adjustable rear lower control arms like the ones below be able to adjust in further than standard? Here's the ones I'm looking at: http://bowers.net.au/shop/hardrace-rear-lower-control-arms-nissan-silviaskyline-s13-r32/ Ebay ones for half the price: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rear-Lower-Adjustable-Control-Arms-Camber-Nissan-S13-S14-S15-R32-R33-RWD-/160995093386?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item257c0e2b8a&_uhb=1 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-Performance-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-rear-lower-control-arm-/151290862574?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2339a35bee&_uhb=1 Is there any major difference between the three? Anyone know of any other alternatives? I really want to have about 1.5 degs camber in the rear. Cheers

Nice wheels! GLWS

Kinda stuck between spending money to make it go fast or spend it on making it look pretty. Just need to powdercoat the wheels and then I can get the stickers on. Soon hopefully!

Couple of shots from RTDC track day:

Also, anyone know where I could find this steering wheel? It's an alacantra Momo Impul 913 LE And finally a good close up on the track:

Found an interesting post over at GTROC, credit to Lightspeed:

Would the tools in the SP kit be considered 'cheap'?

what other places can I try? what other brands do similar packages?

Is this a good deal folks? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SP-TOOLS-H-DUTY-TOOL-BOX-KIT-SPANNERS-SOCKETS-HAMMERS-PLIERS-SCREWDRIVERS-KC-/290682622113 Kinda need to spend money on tools, looks like I will save some cash in the long run as opposed to doing it piecemeal.

Couldn't you just buy this through an importer and save a few hundred bucks? Is the R33 diffs the same as the R32?

I want to get the diffs and transfer case looked at. Does the engine need to come out to remove the front diff and transfer case clutch packs?

No way dude those pics are awesome! I love the '94 cars, and anything JGTC really especially from this period. Found an awesome clip from Fuji Speedway from '94 http://youtu.be/Ba5RVE49tdA

Had great fun today, but a few issues as well. Before we took it out we has to bash the front guards to get the tyres to fit properly. Dan took it out for the first session and was having massive blow by issues. I could see huge plumes of blue smoke from the other side of the track which is never a good sign. We also managed to smash the nut holding exhaust in place so the exhaust was hanging off when it came in, along with oil pissing out of the side of the engine. Missed the next timed session to fix it so the fastest time he got on record was a 1.06, but on the qstarz he logged a 1.04.62 which is pretty damn quick I think. Best I managed was a 1.07.58 which I'm also pretty happy with. Thanks mate. We really need to piss off all the old shitty hoses, along with the wiring. Apologies to those who got smoke screened! I'll try and get some footage up shortly. Saw a few photographers out there, hopefully there's some good shots of it around. Looks awesome with the big wheels and tyres. Almost there! G-Sensor was good! Although the diffs are unloading a fair bit which is affecting the 4WD, but looks like we have fixed at least one issue. I have to say the car has never gripped up like that before, but that might be a combination of good tyres, camber and a working 4WD system. I'll give you a call about the seperator, I need all the help I can get! Cheers guys!

Just got an alignment and ready to roll. See you guys at RTDC

If there is a fault with the ABS will it affect the use of the 4WD system?
