Just rock up to RACQ and take your current valid licence with you. NRMA does this in NSW for a fee.

International Licence lasts I think for a year.

Overseas, you need to present both licences at the Car Hire establishment.

My son 23 at the time, drove us around Italy (whilst I forgot my current valid NSW licence)lol

No consequence if at first, you get the car into a waiting container bound for Brisbane.

JUST DO IT FASTLY AND FURIOUSLY !!!

HKS has a giant factory at the base of Fujiyama - interesting!

Take any hire car that can corner well down thru Irohazaka north of Tokyo. Look up Irohazaka on the web and OMG!

Down into a giant canyon and up out again - all one way - hairpins oh fantastic hairpins. Drift heaven!

No im not 14.. and yes i do have tickets to japan in 3 weeks time... just need to figure out what i can do so i can plan the holiday! Thanks for your ever so helpful input

Mate, Ignore Akeenan. He has moments where the meds aint workin.

As for Steven and Pete? Meh, i spose you could argue theyve been here long enough but thatd only be making excuses for their assery.

Im not going to take shots at you.

Purely simple. You wont get behind the wheel of the GTR.

Unless youre in Tokyo and happen to be around when im out with a buddy of mine who happens to own one. I may be able to help you out - then again i may not.

November is pretty cold and the events are slim pickings - most happens in summer obviously but a lot also happens later.

You can score the NISMO speed festival - thats on the 30th of November and the GT300 Super GT race is on the weekend of the 8th and 9th.

All these things are happening at Fuji speedway.

Dont forget the Tokyo Auto salon is on in November too

To be blunt, im not sure if youll be that keen to throw yourself at cars while youre here...

Youll be missing so So SO much if that was your only agenda.

There are other things that will leave massive impressions on you long after the TAS has left your mind...

Check the threads.

This section is chok-a-block full of info.

Hiya,

You're intelligent enough to know what advice you follow and what you don't. If m3gtr (aka Adam) is around - take note!

And Remember: ANYONE WHO ARGUES WITH A FOOL ENDS UP IN THE GUTTER WITH HIM! < Confucius or

EVERY PRUDENT MAN ACTS OUT OF KNOWLEDGE (aka Adam), BUT A FOOL EXPOSES HIS FOLLY (you know who) < Proverbs 13:16

DO NOT ANSWER A FOOL ACCORDING TO HIS FOLLY, OR YOU WILL BE LIKE HIM YOURSELF < Proverbs 26:4

btw Have a great time in Japan: soak up the atmosphere even if it's bloody cold then: and if you do get a car,

get one that can handle snow & ice and drive according to the conditions eh?

Aww, shucks. ;)

I like to think everyone in the japan section here can contribute pretty well - some are better at Kanji, others with place knowledge, we all live in different areas, some like the Tezzer have a lot more experience...

Egos get in the way from time to time- this thread is proof.

Anyway, probably would pay to check out Gaijin-Pot too, while youre at it.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      By f00stx · Posted

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
