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.

God I hope you didn't end up bothering with Chen Kenichi's restaurant. The most overhyped restaurant i've ever been to. Plus you dont have to go all the way to Roppongi as he's got a branch in Shibuya at the Cerulean Tower hotel which has the same menu... He never cooks at his own restaurants from what i've seen and heard (asked the staff).

Also the food is shit and way overpriced. 3,000 + yen for Ma po tofu.... WTF and you dont even get rice included.

yep, Wink got there. It's an S14. Pretty good use of an S14 I reckon. It looked crazy in real life.

thanks for the tip Kris, I will give Chen's restaurant a miss.

had a great day today at Asakusa and Ginza. Bought a new laptop from the sony building in Ginza. It's awesome. It was just released 4 days ago in japan and is carbon fibre bodied! Weighs only 1.5kg and has a finger print scanner too! Played some more PS3 and got a bit of a crowd going watching me play, and even won a round of applause when I finnished and the japanese girls working there said I was "number 1" I was chuffed! I think I'm going to buy a PS3 this weekend when they are released here.

Tonight was Daikoku and awesome. Went for a nice freeway blast in a HKS 2.8/T04Z powered 34. Over 650ps at the wheels! awesome....

pics coming.

that's the top secret built 34 on the left and my generous ride for the night. the sound it made at full noise in the freeway tunnels of the wangan route were awesome. external gate, and custom made top secret titanium exhaust can't be beat.

damn it's a mean looking car:

heaps of nice 32s in attendance too:

the quality of the cars blew me away. All GTRs too of course.

the power and response of this set-up was just un real. HKS 2.8. HKS T04Z. HKS V-cam. HKS Fcon V Pro. All built and tuned by top secret. If there is a better package out there for a fast yet easy to live with street car I can't think of it. It was scary fast.

some 33 love here too:

if old school is more your taste we've got that too:

that's all for now. It's nearly 2:30 am and I just got back to my room, and my ears are still ringing from those tunnel 'excursions'. :rofl: Will try and do some more tomorrow nigh. Got heaps of other nice random japan pics to share.

Sweet pics. The dark blue on that R32 GTR looks very good.

They remind me of some pics I saw in HPI once about the same sort of gathering (and maybe even same location).

EDIT: What car was that behind the Hakosuka?

Also notice some American muscle there.

the car behind the old skyline was a Ferrari 360 convertible. very nice.

yep, there was a mustang there too. Some really nice other skylines too. Two nice DR30s in particular.

sounds like ur having a good time... this trip sounds very different to the normal `im visting japan thread` from other people.

Plus you dont have to go all the way to Roppongi as he's got a branch in Shibuya

from chiba, roppongi and shibuya are exactly the same distance(travelling time)

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
