Well I am trying to work out a good way to help people watch drifting in Japan so here is a shot at it.

http://www.motorsportscom.info/drift/2008/round-01/

http://twincircuit.co.jp/

The gates open at 7am but it is a looong way away from everywhere so

The closest train station to Suzuka Twin (鈴鹿ツイン) is called Shimonoshou (下庄)

Now because most people who visit Japan will have a JR pass I will give the JR route. If you know enough about Japan to use a different line then you don't need these directions anyway :) But you can type your local station in this website and find the route yourself if you want

http://www.jorudan.co.jp/english/norikae/e-norikeyin.html

FROM OSAKA (3.5 hours ¥2,210)

Osaka -> Tennoji (Osaka Loop Line)

Tennoji -> Kamo (Kansai Line)

Kamo -> Kameyama (Kansai Line)

Kameyama -> Shimonosho (Kisei Line)

FROM KYOTO (3.5 hours ¥1,890)

Kyoto -> Kizu (Nara Line)

Kizu -> Kamo (Kansai Line)

Kamo -> Kameyama (Kansai Line)

Kameyama -> Shimonosho (Kisei Line)

FROM NAGOYA (1.5 hours ¥1,110)

Kamo -> Kameyama (Kansai Line)

Kameyama -> Shimonosho (Kisei Line)

Once you get to Shimonosho there will probably be a whole lot of not much around. So either you need to do some serious walking or catch a taxi. It is around 4km or so would over an hour of exercise. I am not sure if you can go bush bashing east from the station, I will have to try it one day.

The "local" taxi company are these guys 0592276161 http://www.sanco-taxi.co.jp/ hopefully they will be there but you may have to call.

I want to go to Suzuka Twin Circuit

Sue Zoo car - two in - Sar Kit toe - knee - it eh coo da sigh

鈴鹿ツインサーキットに行って下さい

I want to go to Shimonosho Train Station

She Moe Know Show Ecky - knee - it eh coo da sigh

下庄駅に行ってください

Can you please call a taxi for me?

?????

Please bear in mind that there is Suzuka Circuit, Suzuka Minami Circuit, Suzuka Twin Circuit and Motorland Suzuka so best idea would be to show them a picture of the map or this address 三重県鈴鹿市三宅町2913-2

Yeah sorry about that, need to get that front page sorted out and updated. The direct link to the calendar is still ok

Best bet for getting to the track is as early as possible, but it will mean a lot of sitting around doing nothing before the event.

Gates open at 7:30am http://d1gp.co.jp/schedule_ticket_2008_2_fuji.html

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
