Hi All

I am in the throws of planning my trip to Japan in August, I am doing an 8 day tour and a heap of other stuff in Tokyo, staying in a some expensive hotels, some cheap ones, a capsule hotel and a heap of other things, but that another topic all together that I will start later.

The question that I have is about D1GP. I am already earmarked to go to Round 5 at Ebisu South in Nihonmatsu, but I am now extending my stay to include Round 6 at Suzuka. Now I got my details of this off of Wikipedia Link for D1GP Schedule 2006 as my Japanese reading is hopeless.. Now I am a bit anal about checking things, so I went to the Suzuka Circuit Website and check teh Calendar of events and the D1GP wasn't on there, also I have seen in other links This One to show one of the links, where it shows the event not being on Sep 9/10.. I am way too confused now, I have seen about the same amount of both (on 9/10 sep and not on those dates) so I am sceptical..

Can someone who can read Japanese, please please tell me what the Round 6 says on This Page It is the September 9/10 event.. This would be greatly appreciated.. I know that I shouldn't be worrying about this so early. But I like to plan in advance a long way..

Also, does anyone know of how I can buy tickets to these events prior to the event. I know that the tickets are only open to presale for a short time, but I would really like to get tickets in advance, so that I guaranteed a ticket. I am prepared to pay anyone that can help with this. I will pay well in advance and only want them sent to my hotel or somewhere that I can get them from..

PS. If anyone is interested in tagging along with me to these events I will be travelling to both from Tokyo on the Sunday for the main event and I am more than happy to go in a group bigger than one... :P

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
