I would say 20,000JPY a day will be enough. I mean if you have one good meal a day in tokyo there goes 8,000JPY. drinks in clubs will be around 1,000JPY. a taxi or two each day for short trips will be 2 or 3,000jpy. and if you want to buy anything then add that on top.

but if you just want to eat cheaply then you can get a meal for around 1,000 but beer is the killer at most places, even cheap ramen bars etc. basically like in normal life you'll have to tailor your spending and activities to your budget. I could easily spend $1,000 a day in Tokyo without going stupid. and I could probably live on $150 a day if I really had to. the fun zone is somewhere between the two.

The average entrance fee to a Tokyo club is 3000 - 4000 yen (sometimes as high as 6500, depending whats going on there) , can beer = 700 / 800yen , cocktails minimum 800yen

entrance(3500~) +beers(maybe 8 6400~) + food afterwards (1000+~) + train fare(500~) or taxi (2000~+) = 12900yen = 173.80AUD

as beerbaron said a good meal in tokyo is about 8000yen (id even say a little more depending where and what you order), you would probably eat out every night.

1 club + dinners alone = 600 dollars (for a 4 night stay)

then add, public transport / taxi rides + breakfast + lunch + vending machine drinks anything else you want to buy

at the moment 700AUD = 51,000yen

for a good time in Tokyo, including clubs , shopping and food. For 2 nights 6-700AUD just might be enough, but for 4 nights no way.

yep, that all is about right. and if you []i]really[/i] want to have fun it's not hard to spend decent money in Tokyo. I've spent over 100,000JPY one 1 dinner for 3 people. It was good but not super extravagant. especially when you're on holiday you don't want to be worrying about money. well at least I don't. just enjoy and worry about it later. :D

oh, and the 100,000JPY place was porterhouse in azabu. it was amazing. the best steak of my life. and the alaskan king crab cakes were excellent.

Don't go to "Big Echo" Karoke... i spent well over $100 for 2 hours with 4 beers. Big echo is the multi-chain one...a bit like the Bunnings of Karaoke

I found a cheap good karaoke bar in Shinjuku, which i got for 3 hours and 6-8 beers for $60. I'd tell you the name, but i was VERY smashed after it....sorry. :blush:

Don't forget 7-11 and the like sell beer, and there's always beer vending machines. Hell even the suprfunhappydiscountkingpenguin shop sells beer :starwars:

If you can't find cheap beer in Tokyo then you should probably stick to milk ;)r

Whatever you budget, make sure you double it.

Those coffee vending machines are addictive and when you visit them 5-6 times a day, it adds up :D

Magic words !! Nomitabihodai!!

Usually around the 2-2500 yen mark at an izakaya. Most are around 90min -3 hour all you can eat and drink. Theres some that are cheaper some more exxy but thats pretty much an average price and for any normal aussie beer pig thats cheap as chips!

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
