Hey Guys....

Here are some pics from this years auto-salon here in Tokyo. This year as always it was held in Makuhari Messe, about 30 minutes from the centre of tokyo by train. The show is always an event to look forward to in the motorsports calendar, but for some reason (maybe this being the 3rd time straight going) this years show just didn't seem to hit the spot. Some big makers like Veilside weren't there and a lot of cars that were there last year made their appearance again with very few, if any changes. Of course this show still is better than anything we've got in Australia, but hopefully next time this show will be a litte bit more better. Either way as always its always fun and a great day, so i hope you enjoy the pics and leave a comment!

Thanks!

nice pics mate, the res didnt come out too bad. i didnt see that ogura clutch babe! she looks a lot like my ex...

did you check my thread on general automotive discussions thread yet pete?

I was fortunate enough to go to this years Tokyo Autosalon also... took about 600 photos ... crazy stuff!!

We had almost as much fun just walking around the carpark too!!

I also went to top secret workshop and checked out that v12 supra... awesome!! Sounds unbelievable in the flesh when running too. So did the v8 twin turbo skyline.

My personal favourite was the blue R32 GTR near the front of the first hall (you got a good shot of it above), but I am a little biased there.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
