Hey guys, just looking for info... anyone know if the dates have been released for the 2009 show??

I can't seem to find any yet, but it seems to be early feb each year...

Anyone who has previously been... how do you rate it against TAS??? Same cars? Smaller show?

Thanks in advance.

I've been to one TAS and three or four OAMs. I preferred the OAM (more FDs, primarily), but I haven't been to any shows (except the annual Kobe rotary show) for years because the last OAM I went to was really disappointing - indicative of a declining scene (and, perhaps, declining interest).

In any case - the OAM is definitely worth a look if you're not too jaded, and don't mine a wide selection of crap euros and hummers with 25" chromies

^^ yeah I have been to two TAS (the last two) and reckon they were awesome...

Perhaps the new GTR will create a little resurgence in the scene?!!

Wondering if next time I come over I will wait til Feb for OAM, or just stick with my regular plan for Jan.

Why was it that made OAM better? (Besides being a lot closer for you!!)

First OAM I went to was actually a lot further away for me than Tokyo.

A few years later I went to TAS, and I remember thinking at the time that OAM was, although slightly smaller, a better show.

The problem these days is that there are only a few new worthwhile cars on the market (sti, evo, gtr) - each year I went I would see less of the interesting cars (all the good 89-02 stuff) and more and more crap (lexii, euro trash, hummers, etc).

If you haven't been to osaka/kansai, I'd suggest checking out OAM, and enjoying a change of scenery. You won't be missing out on much by switching shows.

yeah we spent four days in osaka/kobe last visit so I am somewhat familiar with osaka. We intend on doing both cities (tokyo and osaka) again next visit.

Since I haven't been to OAM might give it a crack!

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
