None of those other engine designations are under dispute buddy, so go find out for yourself in your own time...

Heres a 350Z VQ35DE ECU diagram: http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/wolfpdf/WIRING_Z33_ECU.pdf I can't say for sure if it's wildly different from a V35 VQ ECU though.

Response Balance 2600cc Dohc Electronic Twin Turbo Taken from the Japan Wikipedia entry: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%97%A5%E7%...3%83%BBRB26DETT And also here: http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/109901/blog/c1528/ (Next entry after the picture of the tyre) And here: http://wkp.fresheye.com/wikipedia/%E6%97%A...3%83%BBRB26DETT Just to lay to rest once and for all the 'Race Bred' rumour still going around after, what, 8 or 9 years?

Don't kid myself? You judge a place you've never been to on the basis of one photo... thats gold! Here, heres a few more photos of the 'Auto wreckers': See that 3 story high shed? Thats were they keep all the parts for retail. Wheels, tyres, engines, exhausts, seats... you name it they're lying around every where (top floor and below)

In response to a few members wanting to showcase their own photos of Japan and their experiences over there, we've finally made use of the sub-forum for the SAU Japan Photo Diaries. This is running parallel with the Japan Scrapbook, the Scrapbook being photos and comments posted at random on any topic, posted by anyone, whereas the Photo Diaries are single threads devoted to one member/one event etc. Things will be a little more strictly moderated in here, if you have any queries that fall outside the topics presented in here, by all means post up in the general Japan forum. A few things: - Each thread will be viewed as a members own personal 'photo blog'. So if you have photos of the same event, don't post them in someone elses thread. - Multiple threads of the same event or topic won't be merged as per above. - Any threads that belong in the general forum will be moved there immediately. - No pointless bumping eg: 'any updates?' Posts are made in the members own way, in their own time... have patience If you have any queries or problems PM either myself or Beer Baron. Thanks and have fun

I'm popping in to give Scathing my full support. 32line: I'm a credible source and 'RB' doesn't mean anything. I know where you got that idea of Race Bred from. You know why Wikipedia says it's 'disputed'? It's because some so called journalist wanting to sound like he knew his shit came up with it one day to make his article sound good. You'd be suprised how much disinformation came out in magazines around 1995 - 1999 about Japanese cars etc.... MAX POWER UK anyone? Give it up 32line there are too many knowledgable people around to say you're mistaken.

Edit: thats actually a Mitsubishi Minica! Just so you know!!!!

Mitsubishi Minica Toppo getting destroyed at a Auto Wreckers in Amagasaki. As the car was getting crushed, bits of metal were flying around the place like bomb shrapnel, I narrowly missed getting hit in the eye Tamon Design FD3S RX-7 at the 2005 RX-7s Meeting at Central Circuit Probably the only pic I ever took of Nova school intentionally... this branch was our major competitor. Some scooter with extended swingarm (??)... never bothered to ask why they did this mod. Whos that bloke in the background??? Wall to wall RX-7s at the aforementioned RX-7s Meeting. Circuit tuned Mazda Roadster at Osaka Automesse. (Autobacs Secohan Ichiba demo car) KFC in Ashiya... Colonel Sanders would be proud of this place. Yamanba... enough said. There is an even more extreme version than this which featured on 'Sanma no Manma' the other night with black - and I mean black - foundation.

Post up a couple of pics showing the face of the wheels so we can have a crack at what brand rim they are

Nismo vending machine... nice find

Nice bump! Well there you go... ZeroR in Kobe which just happens to be where I live

Yakiniku... Kalbi (the smallest pieces on the plate) is a 'must order'. The others are 'Tan' (cow tongue) and Rosu (loin cutlets). 29th August is YAKINIKU DAY in Japan. My old R32 Skyline before it got sent to Australia to become a drift car... Sakura season has recently passed through western Japan. This is a tree in Ashiya. Textbook lowering and offset... FD at ADVAN stand at Osaka Auto Messe Itami domestic airport north Osaka. This used to be the international terminal before Kansai airport was completed in the mid-90s. Karl (Curl?) Oojisan at a shopping mall out Ikeda way. Karl is the mascot for 'Curl' puff corn snacks. The Karl/Curl spelling is because Japanese pronunciation of 'Curl' (the shape of the snack) is like 'Kah-ru'. You had to have been there... Sitting in traffic This car actually drove out of the parking lot like this.... no hydraulics.
