thinking about a couple of places at the mo. maybe try the Tokyo Inn in Chibaminato, or the New Otani in Makuhari. Next week I'll be staying at the Mitsui Gardens in Chiba so if it's any good I may stay there for TAS too.

Guys I have been told to take the first 3 weeks off in jan from work and thinking about going over but a bit hesident as I would be going by myself. I want to go to TAS but have no clue about the place how to get there and really would like to tag along with others if possible. I think atm I can only afford about 10 days as I would only have about 5K to spend on the trip but help is really needed as I haven't had a holiday for about 5 years and need help.

I bought my ticket a couple of months ago. It will also be my first business trip for a new business I just started. A mixture of excited and scared is how I'm feeling right now. :( But really looking forward to the trip, and also meeting some of you guys.

I will actually be in Tokyo for the show from the 10th (visiting the show every day from the 12th to 14th) and then heading back on the 18th. Would love to meet up with some of you guys if you are up for it.

RaceBorn (Amir) :)

It's actually super easy to get there (provided you're flying in to Narita airport). You can take a Keisei Skyliner or slower train from Narita airport to Keisei-Tsudanuma--it's about 20-40 minutes away depending on the train. You then switch lines one time for "Chiba City" and get off at the first stop--Makuhari Hongo Stn. After that, you catch a bus for Makuhari Messe.

If you guys have any questions about the area, I'll try to answer them as best as possible.

Put me down as 100% definite guys. I am staying within walking distance of Roppongi and near Aoyama 1-chome station. Look forward to meeting and catching up with you guys :thumbsup:

So where is Justin? Still moving.

TAS getting close.

I'm here mate... just a little tied up at the moment with moving stuff. I sadi I would be there by beginning of November, but thats now looking like beginning of January! So I hope I can be there a few days before TAS kicks off.

Just a few questions to some people:

Mr Keets: Whats your first name bud? I need to add you to the list.

RaceBorn: Good stuff, will see you there...

Nick/Richard: Have you blokes organised passes for the Friday yet? I'm still keen, I'm just not 100% sure if I can get over there for the Friday yet so... just bear with me, I'll let you know asap.

Im not going to make it Justin :ninja: I cant get as much time off as I would like at the moment so I have to take a raincheck on TAS however I will be over early-mid 2007.

mr keets (Keith) is not coming now.

and nick has confirmed with me that he truly does like boys more than girls so he's not coming either.

me on the other hand? I plan to rock out with ma cock out. (figuratively speaking of course).

Justin, I will bring/organise a pass for you no problem. just pm me your full name.

let's hook up on the friday for sure. I'm planning to take lots of photos. Got myself a Canon 400D so this time i may even have some decent ones!

can't wait! :ninja:

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!! That is a serious letdown, but will be good to catch up later on.

I'll be cashing that raincheck mate don't you worry... :)

No worries Poida, I added you to the list.

Btw, to the people who are attending, who's going to meet up afterwards? And at what time? I was thinking 6pm out front of the main entrance, but if anyone has a better plan (Richard?) then let's hear it. I'm not familiar with any decent Izakayas or bar around there, so if anyone has a place that they can recommend let me know.

hmm, that plan sounds good. I dont know many izakaya in makuhari (well any), but I do know of 1 particular place in chiba that is good. and they have some very nice waitresses too.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
