I have found GTR35 for rental for $350AUD a day.. probably add insurance on top... but i hear that they wont rent a car like that to a overseas tourist...?

EDIT>>>> ANY idea if i get caught in japan unlisenced.. what would the consequence be??

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 !!!

Tez :):D

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!

This thread is serious... whats so bad about asking about a gtr... i wouldnt bother trying to test drive one, but if i went to a rental place and had the cash... why wouldnt they let me borrow the car.. i was just asking for f*cks sake. 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?

Tez

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.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
