Hi all

My missus and I are going to Tokyo & Kyoto (and possibly Osaka) mid September for 3 weeks.

Just wondering which hotels you might have stayed in - looking for something not on the cheap, but not super $$ either.

Let me know!

Cheers

mmm, well in Osaka I can highly reccomend the Osaka hilton. it's not cheap, but not mega $$ either. Great location, amazing service and very nice rooms.

In tokyo I have stayed at a few places but all business hotels. I like the shinjuku prince as it's awesome location, and usual big hotel. nick stayed there with me and didn't like it though. I've also stayed at the shinjuku washington and f**king hated it. wouldn't stay there again that's for sure. the keiyo plaza hotel is quite nice too but a little bit $$.

I highly recommend the Keio Plaza in Shinjuku. I was there last year at the end of August.

If I can remember correctly I think it was just over $100 per night per person. Don't quote me :kiss:

Gonna be back there in Jan 08 and definitely gonna stay there again.

How I miss Japan :happy:

In Tokyo I like the Sakura Hotel for a budget-mid price ($80) hotel and the Star Hotel Tokyo in Shinjuku has awesome location, just over a $100 a night..

In Osaka I prefer the real buidget hotels and houses, like Orange House, that place is an experience..

Aug/Sept is hot, get ready for it!! I was there last year in Aug Sept for 6 weeks.. Miss it!!!

for that price I think the prince is the way to go. awesome location. somewhat less awesome hotel, but it's a good place to leave your bags, and sleep when need be. it's not like you plan to hang out there for the ambience.

I used to stay at the Villa Fontaine Shiodome when I worked for Nissan, its located near Ginza, around 100+ per night...

Its located next to Conrad Tokyo...pretty good hotel... 10 minutes walk to Shiodome station on the Yamanote line.

Its around a 10 minute walk to the Nissan Ginza HQ....

Check out this firm

http://www.japanhotel.net/

My fiancee and I used them a couple of times when I was living there and doing the occasional side trip. Many of the hotels they offer are classified as "business hotels", ie not the top of the range tourist hotels and they are also close to the centre of town.

The service is top notch from these guys.

Most offer rates of between 5000-12000yen per night.

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
