Ok I'm not the resident Osaka drift specialist, but I may be able to help (not that it's recommended).

Where are you staying? Because you're going to have to take the Kintetsu Osaka line from Tsuruhashi Station. Tsuruhashi is on the Osaka loop line so it's easily accessable.

So Umeda (loop line) -> Tsuruhashi (go to Kintetsu Osaka line platform) -> Nabori Station.

Now, as far as I know Nabori Station is closest to Meihan Sportsland, but it's waaaay in the country and you'll have to get a bus or cab to the circuit. I have no idea about the bus, but it's slow travel on tiny country roads out there from what I remember around Nabori.

Ok, having said all that, you could twist my arm and get me to drive you out there :) Bear in mind gas costs a metric ****load and theres tolls to pay too.

So bottom line is, pay a fair bit to go by car but get there and leave at your leisure/not worry about the time or, save money but waste time/risk losing your way on PT.

hey

thanks for your reply, we are staying at hotel kinki which is like 5 min walk from jr osaka station and hankyu umeda station

you got me abit confused there i was trying to find where Nabori Station was but there is no Nabori, only Nabari :)

i thought that Murouguchi Station would be close and easy access to Meihan Sportsland, is there many taxi around there that would be able to take us from the station to the circuit and back?

theres going to be 6 of us so if you would like to drive us all that would be sweet as hahahaha of course we pay for petrol and toll roads :thumbsup:

would be great to drive there but unfortunatelly our means for getting around japan is by public transport, because we didnt plan to drive over there

Nabari -> typo... glad you could figure it out :bunny:

I thought so too, I just thought the chances of getting a taxi where much greater from Nabari... it's up to you.

My car only fits 4 including driver. Sould've asked how big your party was :D

Sounds like you know the way the PT system works, so there's no problem with that then? Just get to whichever station you think is easiest (Muroguchi etc) and hail a taxi. Whether there are taxis there or not is another thing entirely... I'm sure the front desk at the hotel could help you out.

cheers

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
