Seeing as I have the privelage of being in Tokyo and im surrounded by all types of car exotica i have decided to start a little thread of my own based solely upon the crazy cars i come across.

This wont be solely focussed on nissans cause beauty comes in all shapes and sizes doesnt it?

enjoy.

M3gtr.

I work in Akihabara and see nice cars all the time in this part of tokyo..but some are beyond description...

like this for example.

all these photos are being taken with my trusty and powerful 5 MP sharp phone. Not bad i think you will agree. I bought the camera and a phone came with it. :)

Two days in a row and this time its on a WRX! Akihabara does strange things to people. Otaku is a word that springs to mind..

literally 10 metres away was this very poor looking R34 GTR. The thing obviously wasnt being looked after.... :(

post-33653-1181281479_thumb.jpg...tacky and very crappy stickers..

post-33653-1181281447_thumb.jpg..although it did have a carbon rear diffuser...

not too bad in this light...post-33653-1181281582_thumb.jpg

.....and 10 meters down from where the GTR was there was a very nice Carlsson SL Merc.. all in spitting distance from my office. I was too slow to get a shot of the M5 that drove past while i was taking pics of this..

the douchebag scratched the rims up pretty bad but...post-33653-1181281905_thumb.jpg

AND.....just infront of that benz was this Veilside Silvia. See the guy all the time..Cheap midlife crisis type a dude.. Nice kit though..

post-33653-1181282137_thumb.jpg

Has anyone seen a sticker from Veilside like this before? ...post-33653-1181282204_thumb.jpg

Side profile...post-33653-1181282316_thumb.jpg

post-33653-1181283265_thumb.jpg

Just take a look at the label on these things at donquihote... The package should read : "not everyones hung like one.."...post-33653-1181283445_thumb.jpg

Its always fun to notice non-sensical Japlish..this one was good. Im going to start another thread on this topic alone..oh the fun we can have!!!

ive seen junior high kids with these cases on their desks!post-33653-1181283631_thumb.jpg

We created a section especially for this type of thing. Moved.

Nice pics btw, very random selection. I was expecting that passed out drunk dude to be a homeless guy... but a foreigner? LOL.

that big dude is GIGANTOR in sivvies

he was positively massive...at least 7 foot 5. very strange to see it. like he was normal and everyone else was a midget or something..

  • 3 weeks later...

okay its long overdue and it seems theres a fair bit of interest going around as to the goings on of this crazy place..

Just so everyone knows Richard and Rezz ( Kobe--down south )are or were situated in different parts of japan whereas i and poida are definitely central..( Tokyo baby!!)

something is always happening here..

no matter how many times you see this magnificent mountain it never grows old...

Yea nice.

What and where do you race?

a superkart. Fujinomiya isnt exactly the best track for it..its only 780 meters but the back straight is about half of that..the little thing gets up around 130 and still has plenty to go...

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
