Hey all,

Most likely be in Japan from the 20th of May- 31st May. I was wondering if anyone could help me out to find good but cheap accom. If anyone knows some good place that are reasonable priced.

Places im most likely visiting is Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

Also like DRENVY does anyone know if there will be any car events happening during those dates??

My plans are to land in Tokyo spend a few days there doing all the sight seeing then bullet train it down to Kyoto and so forth!

I have been to Japan once before but was about 5 years ago and im taking my brother and 1 of our friends so i want them to enjoy themselves.

Please any idea's will be much appreciated

This is where i want to take them in Tokyo

- Omiri Nismo Factory

- Akiharbra ( electric town )

- Fish Markets ( but have no idea where it is )

- Tokyo Tower

- Some Temples

- Sumo Wrestling ( Dates for that are 10th May- 24th May)

But i would love to know where Autobacs is and Top Secret and Sendai?? ( the drag place ). I know Top Secret is in Chiba but is it hard to get there??

Also hopefully going to HKS in Fuji.

If anyone knows about anything that will be happening either Drift or Drag in any of these areas pls let me know.

And if anyone knows of good hotels that aint too far out that would also help.

mmm good and cheap. I stayed in West Shinjuku and that wasn't cheap but when I went through Shibuya I was sure there were some reasonable ones there. Plus its on the Yamanote line which helps a little. One stop away from Harajuku and the Meiji Shrine, a few stops from Akihabara . The Omori factory requires a change to a local train and a short walk...you cant miss it as long as you look out the window. I used trip advisor for hotels...good site. Chiba is no biggie, 35 minutes in a limited express - Dont catch the local lol takes forever, then a monorail ride to the stadium and a short walk to Chrystal, take a copy of the Top Secret address and ask them politely to call a taxi for you. I met Smokeysan at TAS...quite the PR man, I even bought one of those Ski jackets. This is the short version, do a search using the standard terms and then try Tokyo Auto Salon as well.

You can struggle with a few words of English but it's good to have a few more. GL.

Makudori...I'm planning on going to the Osaka Auto Mess Next year so I'll drop you a line

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
