HEehe not sure if you have heard of a thing called Golden Week, but if you think the train is going to be a marathon than you are going to love driving! But having a car for drift matsuri does make life much much easier.

But basically you just get on the Tokyo Gaikan Expressway from wherever you are in Tokyo, then change onto the Tohoku Expressway, get off at Nihonmatsu and follow the closest Silvia. I always get lost getting from Nihonmatsu to Ebisu because I am usually about to fall asleep. Also because I used the hideously inadequate map provided by Ebisu's website (see attached).

Should cost around $70 in tolls, but I stopped counting after a while I must admit.

It is 280km or so from Tokyo and should take about 6 hours give or take a couple of hours.

To save yourself a lot of heartache buy the Shobunsha Road Atlas... it won't get your to Ebisu, but it will get you to Nihonmatsu. Also buy a compass.

edit: I attached some more useful maps to get you from Nihonmatsu to Ebisu Circuit, they all show the same thing so try to overlay them. I also attached a picture of what you will see when you actually get there, as it may not be what you expect.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
