Notes:

Saturday 13th January 2007

- Morning meet up point: Outside JR Makuhari Station (East exit?)

Time: 9:00am

- Midday meet up point: Outside 'Central Cafeteria' to the left of the main entrance as you walk in

Time: 12:00pm

- Evening meet up point: Outside main entrance

Time: TBA

I'll make a list of all the people who are interested in coming at the bottom of this post, and update it as we go along. I want to try and avoid a possible situation where 20 people are raring to go but waiting on one or two people, so we'll have to make a final cut off time for the meet up. I realize that we can't all walk around in one group (we're all interested in different things at different times) so a morning meet up point, a lunch time meet up point, and an after show meet up point will be in place. I also realize that numbers will dwindle at each successive meet up point, so I'm not expecting big numbers for any after show things we might organise. I'll add to this section too as 'probems' arise...

I'll post up my JDM mobile phone number when I reconnect it in November. Feel free to call/email me beforehand or even at TAS if you can't find us etc. I'll post up other members numbers too if they can help out.

Hey Rezz,

Considering this will be right down the road from me, and since I've been wanting to go for ages now, there's no way I can miss it. However, I am slightly confused about your itenerary. With this show going on for 3 days, are you proposing to meet up for all three or just one of the three? If the latter, what date/time were you looking at?

Haha thats one thing I totally forgot about... what day?

Saturday for sure for the big meet up, but I will endevour to get in on the Friday too with Nick and Richard if they'll sort out the 'press passes'...

yeah, i say we make saturday the big meet day. Sunday is crazy busy and friday is half day only unless you have prior arrangments (press pass, trade pass etc).

I will try and get a hold of some exhibitor tickets again too and will definately try and get some extra for you justin.

1 thing I have never done at TAS is go and check out the carpark mainly because most days there it's pissing down rain! if it's fine next year I wouldn't mind going for a walk to check it out.

Richard I take it you an Nick will be there come hell or high water... so on the list you go!

yeah we have both said no TAS 2007 as that would mean 3 years in a row. but i think your money would be safe betting on us both being there. :P

I will be going(90% def.), if I am not working.

Will you supply race queens for SAU regulars, Justin? :(

Alright Christian! Finally we might get to meet in person :(

I'll see what I can do about ladies, but don't count on it :P

  • 3 weeks later...

Still alive and kicking. Don't get much time to surf as of late, so not been on here that much recently.

As for TAS, well my eldest son will probably be there. Although I'm not sure about Senna, he's only 2 at the moment, but he loves cars.

I wonder if Troy is going to make the trip over?

I'll definately be at the TAS 2007, looking at the new GT-R :(

I'm not sure if i'll make the meetup, I might be heading over on Sunday. i'll be in Tokyo for a few days beforehand and want to see the sights because straight after that im flying up to Sapporo. If I do make it on the Saturday i'll be sure to meet and greet.

Speaking of Tokyo...

I was just thinking that because of all the motorheads in the Tokyo Metro area for the show, surely there must be some sort of after-party/cruise going on during the weekend. Anyone heard about anything--maybe at Daikokufuto?

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
