Guys,

I am going to be in Japan from the 29th of November to the 3rd of December. The stop is all part of my round the world journey which I elected when looking at the options for US (the main purpose of my trip is a cousins wedding in Chicago). My problem is that previous plans have now changed and unfortunately I effectively have 10 days to arrange accommodation and entertainment. So my questions: Is anyone going to be in Japan at this time? Is anyone willing to meet and head to the Nismo Festival together (I would love to go - and considering I am there at this time it would be silly if I did'nt)? If not, has anybody got any advice for someone who has no idea how to speak Japanese and has not visited the country before - besides 'good luck' obviously! I would really like to stay there the allocated time but I am not someone who is able to integrate well in different environments, especially when alone.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Mike

Mike, you must go to Nismo Fest! Its not hard to get there on your own. Catch a highway bus from Shinjuku to Gottenba station. Then walk through the station and line up for the bus to Fuji Speedway. I may be able to find the instructions my wife wrote for me on my first trip there, and copy them to pdf. Alternatively you can catch the train, which I have also done. I cannot remember the stations though.

Well that sounds fairly easy "/

Well I will be in Chuo-ku,Tokyo at some Ninja Hostel joint (a friend hooked me up). So I was planning to go to Fuji Sunday morning early via train (approx 2hrs???).... but yeah, those instructions would be awesome :D

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
