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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
