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.

Hi,

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

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.

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