Asakusa is a very nice part of town... (you can get heaps of those plastic food things that you see eveyrwhere, in Asakusa) I stayed at a Andon Roykan (in Minowa, which i very close to Asakusa), cheap, clean and very nice. It's about $90 AUD for room a night... thats 1 or 2 people!

Just book heaps of time ahead. :ermm: And order the brekkie...it's cheap and good!

Oh and when you leave each morning, book the jacuzzi for that night when you return :)

I'd love to go the TAS, but i won't make it. I'll be back in Japan in May :)

Thats it! I'm in...I'm going to TAS. I've got enough points to upgrade my ass from site to TAS and back so that nice. I'm going to get there a few days early and have a look around then go to Hokkaido after the show for some skiing or in my case falling. Unfortunately I don't have a lonely planet over here at the moment and I'm trying to pick a resort. So far I've looked at Furano, Tomamu and Niseko.

What I'm after is a place that has...

Western style Hotel

Good snow

Good facilities

Good party

and where the Aussies or dare I say it Americans, dont out number the Japanese (not you guys of course :D . )

I dont mind spending a few bucks for the right resort.

I'd appreciate any info you can provide. BTW I'm happy to meet up at TAS or anywhere else while I'm there for a Sake with SAU'ers.

PS:Yes, I did search but all the ski info is a couple of years old.

If you can make it to Tanzania, your in with a shot.

Keio Plaza in Shinjuku on Wednesday Night till the next Tuesday then Hakuba for a week, I just wish I had paid for my hotels before the nonsense started. I'm up for a meet, drinks, workshops, whatever.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
