Hi all, im going to be flying to Japan possibly in Feb next year.

My missus who lives over there in Yamanashi/Kanagawa thinks that it would be easier for her if i fly into Haneda airport....i believe this is Tokyo's old international terminal.

I will be flying from Brisbane, i havent been to any travel agent yet as ive been working flat out.... thats in the plans for the weekend.

Has anyone flown into Haneda before and if so i think u must make a stop over in either Shanghai, Hongkong or Seoul....any reccommendations???

Any info that u guys can give me would be great

Im just looking for the easiest route

Thanks guys

I have flown into Haneda, but on a domestic flight from Osaka with ANA.

Haneda is primarily a domestic airport, but I do know they are chasing more international business. The main thing that you need to look at, is the additional cost of the two air tickets if you decide to route through another country, as I do not think that this will be possible with a single airline. What might be a good alternative is to fly to Osaka with JAL or Qantas/Jetstar and then get a cheap internal flight with one of the Japanese airlines into Haneda.

The other alternative, is just to fly to Narita, the main Tokyo airport, and then get the train or limo bus into Tokyo central. This is about JPY 3,000 and takes about an hour on the train or 1.5 on the bus.

But you will have a great time, I love visiting Japan, and it is excellent if you have a local guide... :D

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
