Seriously Wishbone, do a search with 'Japan Hotel sightseeing' (or something like that) and just scroll through the threads that come up... there must be at least 50 or so of the first 1000 that come up that have good info.

Go to google and type that in - then out of the first 900 000 pages whats good? Dont wanna end up on some ol clapped out bus creeping down side streets of Tokyo !!!

I was asking for any info on people who have traveled there or who can recommend good people to talk to thats all.... Word of mouth is all im after.

Pick up the exellent Lonely Planet Japan guide. There you will find what hotel etc.

All depends on budget.

For car stuff do a search in this section as Rezz says. Many threads on Top Secret, Autobacs and more.......

Yeah thats what I meant. I didn't mean search Google...

Wishbone I'm not being hostile, this exact same subject has been covered each month, every month for going on 3 years now. I'm sure you can find useful info on here with the search feature without having to get Japan members to type out everything again. On the other hand, if you have more specific questions then by all means fire away :P

I am personally taking some Sunrise Tours in the first part of my trip to get in as much as possible and get used to the place, then I am going out on my own for a while. I have found heaps of info on the internet, I have a few books, (had two Lonely Planet guides till recently.)

Japan would ahve to be one of the best places to visit for information on the internet, outside of maybe the states.. So start searching, translating pages and just researching.. I have been researching flat out for a few months now and I am making my bookings this week..

Heh this site is huge ! only very new - this is my first real post - and sorry Rezz just assumed Google - SAU noob :D

I will def read through the post re this asap. Got a lonley planet on the way too .... they are the poo apparently.

I was just chucking the question out there in case i got a " wow i just got back and .............."

Thanks for the tips guys.

Cheers

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
