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..

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
