Wondering if anyone is going over for this? is there another thread? what are the dates and the like??

it seems jetstar is good for trips? are they worth it? or better off flying someone who will get there..

2000 return for 2 adults seems ok.

^ PM Ash or Richard I guess.

If its 2010 I could be up for it...especially if its snowing in Hakuba, although it was mostly R35s on display at TAS last year. I'd have to budget though...cost me a wack last time and all I brought home was t-shirts and souvenirs. Have you thought about the Nismo Festival instead?

meh. TAS is ok. worth doing once I guess. but I'm way over it these days. it's no where near as good as it used to be. and there are heaps better car related events to do and see in japan. and thankfully plenty that aren't on in the peak of winter! (unless you want to go boarding in which case it's perfect).

so yeah, I won't be doing TAS, nothing really special on the horizon for it to make me want to go. unless they are putting the 32 GTR back in production with a rear AWD transaxle with 6 speed DSG and a 3.5 litre triple turbo RB26 that revs to 12,000rpm. are they?

Stranger things have happened though.

Its the next illogical step so some would argue its the most logical step.

Transaxel Pre-35 GTR with 1200hp from an RB26, isn't really that hard to imagine.

We will have to wait a while for the dates on the Nismo Festival. Probably August before we hear anything. As for snow, if it is at the end of November we'd be lucky. A couple of weeks into December would be good.

You definitely don't want to combine snow and Nismo Fest... That's what it was like in 2005. It really sucked cos all these special cars were just sent on parade laps, and some didn't even come out of the garage (things like the open top Grand Prix cars of the '60's). And of course, no smoke or high speeds for the drift exhibition match. :pirate: But anyway it was an incredible experience. And thanks to the chaps of R31 House who drove us there and back.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
