As we all own or have an interest in Japanese vehicles, and as many of us are hooked on Anime or Jap music, (girls, perhaps :D), I feel it appropriate to propose the following...

Come one, come all, to a GENUINE Japanese Dining Experience at

logovx0.jpg

Bowen Street (off Turbot, between Wharf & Boundary streets)

ltmapvc7.jpg

Saturday 7th June, starting 7pm.

- Please be aware that Little Tokyo only accepts Credit Card or Cash, there are no eftpos facilities available.

You will notice from the menu that it is not as cheap as other venues we usually go for social dinners, hence the reason for making it nearly a month from now! Plenty of notice to make sure you have funds for this spectacular dinner! Believe me, the extra money you spend is very warranted!

Anyway, let's get down to business!

Still run by its founder Michiko O'Brien, Little Tokyo was the first Japanese restaurant in Queensland, established in 1966 and moving to its current purpose-built premises in 1977.

Designed by a Brisbane architect, the restaurant, with its beautiful natural wooden interior, has been classed by many Japanese as more authentic than some in Japan.

They offer a Sukiyaki or Tepanyaki House. In this instance, I will be making a booking for the SUKIYAKI House.

It offers an authentic traditional Japanese dining experience. In this "shoes off" dining area, sit comfortably on a Tatami mat on the floor (with your legs either folded underneath you, or, more comfortably, cleverly hidden below the table) and enjoy Sukiyaki, Teriyaki and Shabu Shabu cooked at the table.

Little Tokyo is the only restaurant in Queensland to offer Ishiyaki (burning stone cooking). A river stone is heated for several hours and used to cook thin slices of Beef and Seafood. This gives a highly individual and mouth-watering flavour, quite different to a barbeque or charcoal taste. Sushi also forms part of the extensive menu at Little Tokyo.

No worries, i'll put down as a maybe :woot:

Once again, this is not a club event, in fact there are a few people coming who don't even own skylines, just some random friends.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
