The closest Autobacs with anything that you'll be interested in is at Tokyo Bay. It's pretty crappy though.

Check out Crystal over in Chiba or Carshop Nagano, located in Aoto...

Nagano is probably easier to get to than Crystal.

Both have many more parts available than Autobacs and are also significantly cheaper.

lmao at nagano he he

LOL i'm not from japan, I don't speak any japanese, and I didn't know that shop called carshop nagano wasn't in nagano!! LMAO! err wait.

Anyways, I'm currently in Asakusa how hard would it be to get to either store from here? From what I could see of google maps it's the next river over from where I am.

From Tokyo station they need to take the "Sobu Line" to Chiba Station, then from Chiba Station they need to catch the Chibatoshi-Monorail to a station called "Sports-Center", then walk north past Maccas and a toyota dealer and it should be on the left!

Definitely check out Crystal. It's about a 10 minute walk from Sports Center, and very much worth it :)

One thing to remember, when you're grabbing things left, right and centre off the shelves, is that you have to carry all your purchases during your walk BACK to the station :(

I am not sure if there is a bus from there, I know there are buses from Gotemba (610yen) and Suruga-Oyama (570yen) or the taxi for about 3,500yen.

There are tickets on the gate but it is probably worth going to Lawsons convenientce store and getting tickets from there, using the ticket machine things they have. 99% you will need one for Sunday.

L Lawson Ticket code:

Saturday's code 31280 (1,500yen) 2,000yen at the gate

Sunday's code 31290 (2,300yen) 3,300yen at the gate

p.s. Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow so no D1 for me, also it is pretty far from Osaka. I might go to Suzuka.

Can someone tell me the best place in Japan to find a set of floor mats like these for my dr30?

http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/aucti...bluege_web_shop

The best place is Tanigawaya shop in Mie 三重県鈴鹿市神戸3-11-7 [〒513-0801]

Karo R30 "Wooly" floor mats

But there is a lead time on orders so in all honesty it would be better to get someone to order them.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
