Hi Guys,

Well, I'm settled in to Japan now. Had a few highlights already.

1, the hotel in Chiba was awesome, even had a pc in each room and free broadband net in room. Plus single room still had double bed (very rare for japan)

2, went to Top Secret and pleased that I am still amazed by the cars there (even after what must be 10 visits there).

3, I got to use the magic beer robot/machine that tilts the glass and adds the head etc. but even better than the one at Narita, I got to use one at Fuji speedway, so I could drink my perfect Asahi whilst watching GT cars belting around the track.

4, I went back to bar scarface, and the owner was so pleased to see me he even gave me a present, and yes he still carves massive ice cubes out of some giant block!

5, Super GT was even more awesome than I imagined and Fuji speedway is like no race track in oz. the facilities are simply amazing.

6, Veuve cliquot is still as cheap as I remember at only $40 per bottle!

7, there is a bar in my hotel called Bar Baron! how cool is that.

Well, I'm now in Shinjuku and just about to head to Roppongi to meet a friend and get shit faced, and have some good food.

I will try and get some pics etc up tomorrow.

ciao!

got another couple of points:

1, the weather is awesome. about 18-20 degrees and sunny

2, I played a PS3 yesterday for a little while, and I have to say it was mind blowing. so much better than PS2, and imo better than X360 too. I`m thinking I might pick one up while I`m here

Last night went to Roppongi hills to meet an old friend of mine and his girlfriend Yumiko. We went to a really cool bar in Roppongi Hills (heartland bar),smashed a few beers there, then went to a really good yakiniku place. ate HEAPS there, and drank about another 8 beers, then went to a club (club vanilla) and got stuck into the spirits. Only in Tokyo would you be able to go to a nightclub on a monday night and have it packed full. We kicked on there till about 5am so I was understandably a little shakey today...

tonight thinking about heading to Iron Chef Chinese`s (i forget which one he is, Chen Kenichi I think) restaurant in Roppongi. I`ve heard it`s very good. Plus the novelty factor would be worth it too.

I`ve got heaps of pics of Super GT, and other stuff, but didn`t bring the cable with me today so will have to upload some later.

well, I`m going to go and grab a mos burger, then play a little more PS3. catch you clowns later!

had another good one today. mostly slept in, but then went and played some more PS3 (now played Ridge Racer 7 and Gran Turismo HD, they both rock).

Also went in to Akihabara, and spent some more time wandering around Shinjuku too.

Here are a few pics to kick things off. Tomorrow I have a few things to do in Chiba, then off to Daikoku tomorrow night. Should be good.

pics (I`ll caption them better later):

WTF? Is that an ichi-goh with wide-bodied-R34 bits, or an R34 with an SR20? C-pillar tells me R34, but the engine bay looks so short...

That image from the PS3 look incredible!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
