Mine...it needs a wash!!

Or your misso thinks you"ve been rooting round and you wake up and she"s got ya penis she"s just cut off in her hand. Japanese women are bloody jealous creatures...

I was at the race for the weekend, just got back. Got to say the GTR was pretty dissappointing. It belted off the line from the rolling start, held 2nd for a lap and then it was all down hill from there, lapping at least 7 seconds a lap slower than the front runners. It looked great but honestly it sounded like a semi stock exhaust compared to everyone else, overall it was good to see it out there belting around. Thats the 2nd one on that track since late june, one of the HKS customers had theirs out for a track meet a few weeks ago. I got a few pics and bit of vid that I`ll post up tomorrow as I`m rooted, couple hrs sleep and 5 hr drive home. Pics are nothing flash but got some good carpak action which I`ll post up in the japan page tomorrow as well.

Heaps of the punters coming to niseko use the gomobile or rent from the airport..plenty of options around.

Already a few on the used car market sites over here... http://www.goo-net.com/cgi-bin/goojp/used_eng/summary_w.cgi

Theres plenty of places here in Japan to do 300kph..think about the 300 club for a start.Do a bit of digging around on youtube and you`ll see a few of the top car tuners having a crack. I`m not saying its safe or condoning it but it gets done and quite a bit. Also cops here have skylines and wrx`s.

Its the dead opposite here with bucketload of tuners who can tune the F Con. I`m not 100% if I`ll come back to Oz, probably still base myself outta japan but looking as doing as many mods now while I`m still here full time.

What are the pro`s and cons between the Fcon v`s the PFC ??????

Easier said than done..its the whole japanese honour crap, they`ll get offended plus I go racing with these guys a fair bit so sort of in their face if I get the PFC...its like walking on bloody egg shells here half the time, plus the bonus of HKS is can use the creddy card for those extra expenses that pop up where as most other crew like cash..Plus they do flawless work..Nismo workshops the same.

Cheers...had a squizz before.. Frustrating but understandable that HKS want to use their gear. I like how the PFC works I`m want this but they want to install the FCON.

I`ve been out to HKS (japan) today and looking at getting a heap of mods done.. Basically at new turbos, injectors,fuel pump,cams etc.. have to do modifications in 2 steps..Mainly the misso will kill me if done in one go. Anyway Stage 1 is for 400 HP then looking for 550 to 600max on the next mods. Anyway HKS want to put in an FCON Pro but I`m not sure how tuneable this is out of Japan. Theres a possibility I`ll send it back to Oz as private import so want to be able to tune it easily. What I want to know is what do people think is the best after market computer.. Is the FCON PRO a piggy back...Is Apex Power FC a replacement ECU or piggy back. Does the PFC have boost control or do you need seperate controller. HKS are adamant that the FCON is the go but its easy to get it tuned here. Any suggestions fellas?

My Missus

same here..

Baron if ya come up Hokkas way I`ll be more than happy to take you on a kabba kura tour through dirty old susukino...I lovem 5000 yen all ya can drink, plus nibbles and nipples and more!

You mean where you eat it off the back off a naked japanese girl??? Been there done that... You got gcome to Hokkaido/Sapporo Baron..theres this little place called Susukino...ask any Japanese bloke..its famous for its bloke relief..

Any pics??

Cheers guys... Just a bit bummed cause the wheels look great and was trying to avoid this problem with offset. Not sure yet but may look at selling the wheels here or sending em back to Oz for sale and get a set of 10"s instead. So that brings me to my next question would the tyres I have now 18x265x35 be ok on a set of 18x10 rims??

Bump!!! Main thing I need to know is ..will wheel alignment settings be out nnow I am using spacers.

My 2nd car is a Jimmny. Runs on a oily rag, 3 cylinder 700cc turbo, great in japanese traffic, parkings a breeze, its 4wd so driving over footpaths etc is sweet and the thing is a gem in the snow and and ice and we get shitload of snow where I am.. The Skyline just gets used for cruising and track now...hioctane here is just under $2 aussie per litre.

shouldnt that be 1th,2th shi th,

Cheers... I`ll pull a wheel off tomorrow and have a look.. One question I still have is if the all the settings for wheel alignment was done before spacers fitted will things be outta wack now spacers are fitted , I`m not sure on this at all..

Mate I`m not quite sure what you mean by `spigoted` as for the spacers I`m pretty sure they hubcentric..I`ve attached a pic of what mine look like..mine are similar to these, just different brand. Most of the jap blokes I know here use em..

Ok I just bought a set of Enkei RPO5`s and the reccomendation by Enkei for a set of 18`s was a 25 offset! Now in hindsight maybe I should have got the 10`s....http://www.enkei.co.jp/jp/products/wheels/rp05/fitting/index.html Well we fitted em up yesterday and yep they were way too far in the guard for my liking. Moneys been handed over so I`m stuck with them for now. We put 20mm spacer on the front and 15mm on the back so now they fill up the guards. Ok the workshop they did a 4 wheel alignment before the spacers were put on. I got back to the shop and we decided it would look better with the spacers. Anyway after driving home I found the car tracking alot so what I am wondering is would the alignment be affected by the spacers or is this just a fact of using spacers. They are good high quality spacers. Or have a just blown a wad of cash and bought some dud rims. Would a new alignment be in order.. I`ve attatched a before and after alignment settings..image 1 is before.. image 2 is after

Cheers blokes...managed to get my hands on some meguirs quik detailer...will hit the car on the weekend.
