Hello,

A bunch of us are aiming to go to Japan in August, trying to keep our budget low and see some Dori.

Just wondering what your experience/recommendations with particular youth hostels are?

I've been to:

Shin-Osaka - Awesome, I think it even has AC.

Kyoto - Worst ever

Nikko (dunno which one) - Average

Sasebo (I think, it's really far west) - Good, very nice friendly people

Hakata (not sure about this one, it was more like a hotel but 1/3 the price) - Good, single room with everything, costs more than the others but I don't think it's a hostel....

Trying to find more info on places around Ebisu, Tokyo, Nagoya and Koichi.

I have no idea what's close to Ebisu, if there are any places there.

I got lucky and stayed in a hotel in Tokyo last time, but had to spend an extra night in a run down place for the same price :P. I stayed in a Ryokan the time before, that was awesome but I can't find it again. It was right down/up from Tokyo Dome.

Anyway, any of your experiences or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Over Golden Week, I stayed in Kochi Youth Hostel. Also, the JYH in Tokushima.

Both were very nice.

The Kochi one is a little far to walk into the city, but you can easily drive or ride your pushie in.

The Tokushima one also, is a little ways out, but situated directly on a beach park with some nice views and a relaxing vibe.

Both were run by very lovely people, and were very spacious rooms with nice furnishings. Pretty cheap too - about 3000 yen a night from memory.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
