Tokyo - Anyone Going Or Living There At The Moment?


Recommended Posts

I'm not going there yet- but who are you flying with? I looked up flights and Qantas is expensive, but takes you to Tokyo and Jetstar is cheap but only goes to Osaka or Nagoya! Then it's either another flight, train or hitch hiking to get to Tokyo!

Jetstar are cheap and are fairly good.

To get from Osaka -> Tokyo the JR Rail passes are really really good and worth the money!. ~$300 for a weeks pass.

Osaka is a great place too! I like it, esp the long long long long shopping strip - around Shinsaibashi.

Take this and times it by like 50:

Thanks Dood(z)! So Jetstar it is...the railpass is a Japan wide thing? Sounds like an awesome idea to get around- seeing as i'll be coming from Osaka :)

I deeply apologise for point blank thread hijacking :P But i'll book flights and we can eat sushi and get drunk together :)

I'm here till the 6th! Such an amazing place! The rail system is confusing at first but absolutely excellent.. we went on qantas but i'm sure jetstar is cheaper. I just want to know if there are any interesting car shows or races on near Tokyo atm :P

What about catching Super GT? It's in the Shizuoka Prefecture @ Fuji Speedway. That's on my to do list.

Absolutely will be there! I saw the GTR win today on TV :) and the NSXs spin out :D

Ithink I might have suggested meeting up for fuji in a different thread :D

JR rail passes are great.I had one for two weeks.But there are alot more lines in Tokyo that are not JR.Its cheap as though.

Osaka to Tokyo on Shinkansen is about 2 1/2hrs.If you were to pay,this fare alone is almost half of your JR pass.

Hey all

Sorry for the late reply, been away with work for couple days.

Im heading to Tokyo on 20the may till 2nd June, im flying with Malaysia airlines which i found to be fairly cheap , Myself and my mate are going and staying in tokyo, Would be good to catch up with couple people while there and either check out some things in the same interest, I see a few of you will be there around same time as we will be, maybe we can organize something?

Cheers

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
