why not just take the train like 120million other people?

Thanks for that. hmm

Because we want to go to Daikoku futo PA.

We have done this before with a tour company and want to take a group to 'the crossing' on a friday or saturday night.

You can not get a train to pick you up here! Catching a taxi is also hard if you cant speak/read the language.

im sure there are places that would hire out a bus / driver. . . but at what cost? id say a lot.

you could always hire a mini bus by yourselves , get one with sat nav . . . but thats not much help if you cant read or speak the language. . . or maybe one of the boys on here could help you out?

I cant really help out sorry , but I guess you have already done so .... start with a good google search

Thanks, yeah we can get english navigation and we have been there before as i said.... not worried about cost so much as it will be split 12 or so ways.

Last time was a group of about 30 people in a full size coach with driver (organised by tour company), just need to know places in tokyo that would actually hire these out!!

I would ask the tour company but they have stopped doing these tours and the people have left!!

Not really...

But whoever you get, don't treat the Japanese like the CHASERS do eh? :D Do I see a reverse-dump happening? :banana:

Nah, I'm sure you'll be ok - especially when you locate an English-speaking one! :D

Whilst on the subject;

Is there any english or engligh speaking companies that run a limo or Chauffer service?

I know it would be expensive, but i was planning on going to a bunch of different places and would like the convenience of saving time on travel.

Alternatively, what are my chances of renting a car and not having any confusion driving around? ;)

Ive always thought to travel properly you need to get involved, so i thought a roadtrip from kyoto-osaka etc would be really entertaining

kyoto to osaka is not very far. it's about 30-40min by shinkansen. for that trip to be honest I'd go by train (shinkansen) it's a great experience if you've never been before and you can just sit back and enjoy watching the country fly by out the window. :)

maybe do a road trip on another japan trip when you are more familiar with the basic geography of the place and some langauge. something like tokyo down to osaka would be pretty cool for a road trip. or maybe head up north from tokyo instead? lots of options.

Ok thanks, yeah Tokyo-Kyoto will be a good road trip. Ide like to absorb the surroundings and actively learn about japan better, so ill be taking the scenic trains and doing a fair bit of driving!

I plan on staying for atleast a month; something like 3 weeks in Tokyo, 2 weeks Kyoto and 1 week Osaka.

Do lots of walking, shopping, eating and see all the temples/shrines/landmarks etc

Ide like to check out some real samurai swords and see where they make them by hand. I think its in 'sakurai' near Kyoto :)

Not to mention all the tuning houses..

In the process of planing it all now, just need to figure out when is the best time to go?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
