would also like some location directions for

nismo , topsecret, superautobacs in either Tokyo or osaka

cheers

All of these have been covered before many times in these threads. Do a search.

Regarding Prince and what it has written on their website, its about 2 hours and 20 minutes from Shinjuku (Tokyo) on the Chuo HonSen line to Okadani then, from there 5 minutes by taxi.

Use http://www.jorudan.co.jp/english/norikae/ to help you plan your train trip.

Looks like the train from Shinjuku leaves only once, on the hour ever hour and is 6500yen one way. The train is called the "Azusa"

thx for that poida

yes i saw the sticky with links and searched.. the links for the car places are all in japanese

spent the whole morning searching for instructions in english to locate nismo, topsecret and superautobacs in osaka to no avail so any help is appreciated thx

Regarding Top Secret's home base in Chiba...

This thing is pretty tough to get to if you don't have a car. It's located near Owada (Yachiyo city) just off Route 16 near a bunch of used car dealerships and fairly non-descript chain restaurants/businesses. I must've passed by this place a good ten times before and never realized it was there until last week, so it's not as "hard to miss" as some other people have noted. However, the shop can be seen from the street if you're heading northbound on RT 16 (towards Funabashi). I live Katsutadai, which is listed as being the closest station to there but I believe it's still quite far away. A solid 20 minute bike ride or a good 40 mins to an hour on foot. A taxi might be the best, but most expensive, way to get there, although I'd like to find out if there really is a bus that gets there too.

BTW- There's also an Upgarage and a used car dealership that specializes in tuned RX7s only about a km or two away.

yes, going nth on RT16 you can see it from the road, but only if you are looking out for it. if you were coming from funabashi then you'd miss it for sure as it would be conceiled behind the service station.

the easiest way to get to TS if you haven't been before and don't have a car is get mono-rail from chiba station and get off at sports centre monorail station, then get a cab heading north and keep an eye out for it so you can tell the cabbie when to stop. I have tried to get a bus out that way before but it was a bit of a mission and didn't work out so well. :) taxi will still be $20 or $30.

thx for the help guys

    • 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.
