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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
