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

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

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.

      V37 Suspension change

      By Duncan · Posted

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      First time Skyline owner

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
