Hey everyone,

This might be a weird question but I'm currently on holiday here in Japan and right now I'm in Tokyo.

I thought it'd be pretty easy to find Super Mario toys, but I haven't been able to find too much!

I'm looking in particular for those plush toys that make sounds.. like these here

http://www.videogamefigures.com/store/pc/S...ound-23p595.htm

Today I went to Yamashiroya toy store and they only had a small collection of Mario stuff that spanned a tiny wall.

Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated!! Thanks

id go and have a little poke around akihabara and also a toys r us. If you havent been out to odaiba yet go and have a look and at the same time you can go to the toys r us there.

I can't remember the name of the street but its the main street from Ometsando to MeijiJingomae. Half way along on the left is an awesome toy shop with more plush figures than I have ever seen before anywhere. Good luck and have a Mos burger for me somewhere along the way

Cheers

Thanks for the quick responses guys! I have a free day tomorrow after a long day at the D1 GP today so I'll have a roam around and hopefully can find it!

Ohh that would be KiddyLand, I went there on Friday but no luck there either.. sucks having to find a specific item for someone haha.

I tried the Moss burger on Saturday night, it was great but not filling enough :P

Thanks again everyone but doesn't seem that I can find them anywhere here!

Kiddyland's Mario plush selection is limited to 2/3 of a shelf and that's it..

I was thinking there would be a Nintendo world or something of that kind at least around here but guess not :thumbsup:

Maybe I'll get lucky and run in to it somewhere when I'm not looking for it!

Shakeys Pizza! OMG that makes my mouth water! Ham and Pineapple with corn, I kid you not I just love it! Well back to Akihabara then I suppose, so many toy shops there.

Thanks! I left for Nagoya yesterday afternoon to follow my itinerary and group of friends but decided last minute to come back a couple of hours later to meet with my other friends to go Halloween clubbing haha, so today is definitely my last chance at finding it in Tokyo! Fingers crossed!

Gee ,you could'nt send me back some 78 GC210 skyline flared guards could you ? Credit card waiting

just a bit of wishful thinking. For 5 weeks now I've been emailing to and fro with Kamaeri in Japan but the translation is playing havoc. So frustrating

Shibuya... but i can't remember the name of the shopping centre. Tokyu Hands... or something like that. :D

Actually, there some good shops in Osaka (not Shin-Osaka) which is not far from Kyoto, but due my shit memory i can't remember exact locations. There's ferris wheel on a big shopping complex in Osaka which is a good place to look....also the markets under the train lines might help. :)

Sorry i can't remember the exact locations...i was there in May08, and i was drunk most of the time :)

Haha I went on that big ferris wheel on top of the shopping center, might go back to Osaka if I can't find much to do in Kyoto.

Someone directed me to Mandrake Broadway at Nakano to find the Mario things, they said it was where they bought theirs last year. But I dunno if I'm willing to do a 3rd ride to Tokyo from Nagoya without knowing definitely if they have it still :P argh what to do..

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
