I went to Japan to check out the car I had bought on Auction here in Oz .... but it was already at the docks so I couldn't see it :stupid:

To access the auction yards, you need to be something like a licensed buyer to be able to access them. Apparently, there are like buses within the auction yards to take you around the different lots. U need to go where u are going, or else u will get lost!!!

I guess if you are with a buyer, you should be able to get in and check out all the cars there.

Oh yeah as for auto places, if you are in Tokyo, there is this big Autobarn-type place (but heaps more kickass) called Super Autobacs. It is in Shinonome.

There are also places called 'Yellow Hat' (don't ask me why they name an auto shop after a hat). The one I went to was in Meguro also in Tokyo.

ylwgtr2 you are the man! I will be going over to japan again in probably about 2 months. I only wanted to check out the auctions to see how they operate I'm not interested in buying from them. However I am interested in buying a few things for my r33 whilst in japan if money allows.

if its cool i'll msg you closer to the date?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
