First of all, any of the below recomendations may not be so good if you've traveled Japan before.

I lived there for about 15 months. f*kuyama, to be exact. Are you only staying in the big city, or venturing surroundly cities? You should go to Onomichi for the famous temple on the hill - take a gondola ride up the hill through the tree tops.

Tomo no ura is 20 mins bus ride directly south of f*kuyama. Its one of the oldest townships in the area, and back in Edo period was the capital for its medicinal nihonshu, you can get free taste tests at one of the shops. If its hot weather, take a ferry ride to Sensui Jima (an island 5mins out of Tomo no ura) I often went to the beach on that island during the summers, and met some friendly j-girls on numerous occaisians.

In Hiroshima itself, go to a baseball game. The Hiroshima Carp are not great, but the fans are crazy. Even if you're not a baseball fan, its good entertainment. The new state-of-the-art stadium may be up and running by now.

If you want to check out the war memorial and the A-bomb dome be prepared for a very emotional time (and have tissues ready). Spend at least a day there as there is a large amount of education on nuclear technology and what it does when used wrongly.

You like shopping? I cant remember the names of the malls, but there are some great hondori's and the like.

Enjoy the different foods in the regions anywhere in Japan. Always ask what the local specialty is, you may be surprised at the different dishes and how much they vary. So there's Okonomiyaki - Hiroshima style, Tomo no ura is famous for its Tai (bream) and nihonshu, Mihara is famous for its octopus.

Anything else?

Michael.

I have only spent a small amount of time in hiroshima, but one thing I would say is a must do if you go there is okonomura - okonmiyaki town. It is basically a building of about 5 stories of all okonomiyaki restaurants. if you like japanese food you will know okonomiyaki in japan basically can be ordered in two styles. hiroshima style or osaka style. hiroshima style kicks ass. and in hiroshima it's very good. amazingly good okonomiyaki and nice cold beer is a good combo.

also, near hiroshima (maybe 30 min by train and then short ferry ride) is the islan miyajima. it's home to the floating torii and of course the floating temple behind it. they also have deer every where, lots of craft type shops, some nice 4 or 5 storey pagoda, and up the top (by sky car) there are monkeys. :P a nice day trip and listed as one of the 5 most beautiful sights in japan.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
