The only big name workshop that i know of in Nagoya is Ricoh Racing although i no longer have their address. As far as parts shops go, you can't go past Autobacs I don't know of the exact address of any of the stores in Nagoya but i did see one just before Nagoya station on the shinkansen from Tokyo, maybe 1km or so. They may also have a Super Autobacs if you are lucky which is basically a larger version, both Chiba and Yokahama do and they are an awesome store to visit.

Another thing that you might want to consider while in Nagoya is a visit to the Toyota museum, it is only something like 500yen to enter and is great, Toyota don't descriminate and have awesome cars from all manufacturers there, millions and millions of dollars worth. Some of the cool nissans there are the original 1966 silvia, original prince skyline, some awesome 60's super car that looks kinda like a GT40. They don't have an original GTR there although Toyota do have one in their Mega Web show room at Odiba in Tokyo. It is about 40 mins from Nagoya station, you will need to catch 1 train 14 stops and then a monorail (limino line) for about 5 stops. Toyota also have free factory tours with and english speaking tour guide at their factory in Nagoya if that interests you.

Are you only going to Nagoya? Nagoya had the most normal people in Japan that i came across! they actually talked to each other on trains and dressed differently to each other :O

You meant Tokyo Station hey.

Sorry, reading back on that, i actually wrote it quite badly. Basically Toyota have a massive show room (biggest show room in the world) in Odiba in Tokyo which is well worth a look if you go to Tokyo, espeically the history garage which has an original GTR, 240z, 2000GT, GT4 WRC Celica complete with rally damage, 4wd 3sgte wrc corolla & heaps more. But what you want is the toyota museum in Nagoya.

It is roughly 40 mins from Nagoya Station, you will need to catch a subway line to fujigaoka, its 14 stops from memory, i can't remember the line name though. at the 14th (and last stop) you need to get on a monorail called the limino line (might be spelt lamino line) and go for roughly 5 stops, the little voice will say toyota museum. The Toyota museum was probably one of the best car related things that i've been to in Japan, its up there with the Tokyo Motorshow!

Awesome i'd be keen as for a look at the toyota factory and the museum, thanks for that :worship:.

Wont be sticking to just nagoya though basically a mate and I have a container to fill and big turbo diesel van to drive around so well be going as far as we can and to as many parts places junk yards etc should be fun im looking forward to it :(

So if anyone knows of places not only in nagoya that would be cool :D

cheers

haha that sounds awesome mate :( there should be a few junk yards around nagoya, its very much an industrial area. I only had a day trip there so didn't get to look around too much. In and around tokyo i got the impression that there are very few wrecking yards, i asked at both the super autobacs stores and they didn't know what i was talking about, at the Chiba one there is an Aussie bloke who works there, he just refered me to yahoo.co.jp, he did tell us where and when to find the illegal street drifters though :worship:

I came across a junk yard website that i have a feeling was based in Nagoya (might be closer to osaka) a while back, basically they pick you up from kansai airport, give you free accomodation, you fill the container and then they take you back, the junk yard looked massive. i'll see if i can find the webpage tonight!

There is a masive junk yard in the southern most region (can't think of name) called taku forklift. The HPI guys went there. it is aimed at drifters so there are hundred of drift style cars being wrecked. probably a little far away for you though.

Taku forklift!!!!!!!!1 thats the one i was trying to remember from HPI Yew cheers!! haha now I just gotta work out where it is and how many days we will need there buy stuff and back!! any ideas on where abouts it is??? :P;)

well looking on a map i'd say a damn long way, maybe 1000kms?? it is somewhere in KYUSHU but the DVD doesn't say where. kinda like saying a shop is somewhere in NSW :w00t:

has google given you any hints? personally i'd just get to nagoya, learn some basic japanese or take a phrase book becasue people will be much more helpful if you put in the effort. Ask the hotel people to look in the phone book or go to somewhere like ricoh racing or autobacs, they should beable to give you some leads.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
