What Would You Bring Back From Japan...?


Recommended Posts

Just as the topic states..

If you could send one thing back from Japan, what would it be? And why?

Myself, i'd send a big Domo-kun soft doll and slap him in the back seat of the car (^_^)

Or a set of Defi BF guages...

Hmmmmmm.. Gets me thinking.

Anyone else?

Only 1 thing? You listed 2 so I'll go 3;

I heading home next year so this is quite apt!

My 180

Pack it full of goodies and continue drifting the pants off it in Oz.

My mates.

It's gonna be f*ken tough leaving all the dickhead mates I've made.

Would also like to have the chance to speak Japanese every now and then when back in Oz.

School uniform laws.

Mentioned in previous post. I am still as yet unsuccessful.:P

When I think of more shit I'll post again!!

Besides cars or parts for cars, I reckon I'd bring back a crate of canned coffee.

Every time I'm in Japan I can't help myself with that stuff. Usually end up drinking 5 or 6 cans a day.

Altho one time I was on a school trip and we went on a bus trip to Kyoto and Nara and I must have had about 10 or 12 cans...Bad Idea...had to piss like every 10 minutes!!

Apart from the obvious of bringing back some of the kick arse cars they have in JP, i would bring back a good video camera

i bought a Panasonic NVGS250 for like $700, i was pricing them over here and they were like $1200 at the time of purchase, looking back i should have got the 500 for jack all more.

The other thing would be a good futon and tatami, i miss it- so friggin warm in winter and when you are drunk its less distance to fall when you roll over.

:)

have you ever watched domo-kun slim? it's not that great. he just walks around saying 'domo domo domo' all the time. lol. was considered the height of cool a few years ago. I guess he still has some charm.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
