i've been there. it's pretty sweet. a pretty long way from tokyo though, and a VERY long way if you are coming from Osaka or Kobe.

basically the jist of it is, get a train to Tsukuba and then get a taxi to veilside. Taxi wont be cheap though $50+ from memory. maybe more even.

Pretty long way is an understatement! If my memory serves me correctly it took us a good 2-3 hours to get there from Chiba.

Ken: As you can see from the photos above, in terms of tuning shops, it is a must see, and the big boss is very welcoming and is quite happy to chat. The car park was equally as impressive as the cars in the actual showroom!

i'll be spending around a week in tokyo after leaving kobe next february.

from what Blitz said, i'd be best leaving a whole day free and start from Chiba for the train journey.

thanks again 4 the advice guys, its a great starting point.

No question there is more to see... but ask any enthusiast to name some jap tuning shops and I guarantee that veilside will be one of the first few mentioned.

As a car enthusiast travelling in japan it is one of the places I would call a must see.

The guy is allowed to be excited to travel there and see it for real... I know I would.

He was simply seeking directions not inviting a sarcastic flaming.

Thanks to DCD for the concise direction.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
