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.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
