I travel south a lot via Shinkansen so i get a rail pass for the length of the trips.

An English GPS in Japan is still going to get you lost Jeff lol.

I phone isnt bad but unless you have a Jap sim card the roaming costs are massive.

May go Ferrari this time, i could set up a tow rope?

Just bring a few pairs of briefs.

So I'd like to possibly be able to make the D1 SL on the 5th @ Tsukuba and then Nismo Festival 09 @ Fuji on the 6th. How far apart are these places if we're driving? There's three of us to take shifts in driving if need be, while others sleep in the car. Our trip would be Shinjuku -> Tsukuba -> Fuji -> Shinjuku. I'm happy to forget D1 SL if it's simply going to be too much of a stretch.

Our hotel is in Shinjuku (Prince), are there any hire car companys anyone can recommend in this area that will be friendly for the high KMS we intend doing?

Also, what's our best bet at navigation. Maps will be in Japanese so I need to find some way of getting directions to where we need to go. Ideas?

I am at Nismo Festival this year too.

Can't believe I may run into you there Steveo, just like North Sydney all over again.

I'll be flying in Friday night staying @ Cerulean Tower in Shibuya and then heading to Fuji Saturday morning for early registration. See you guys Sunday :D

Steve and Sh@un and i are going over together.

I will definitely be in a sep room to Steve though. Snoring asshole lol

I loved "The B" and the Hilton, a bit out of it though. Grand Palace, Hyatt, Prince- Shinagawa.

Just have a look on Asia Rooms and book in the city.

Nothing a $30 cab fare and a train ride cant fix to meet up.

No ragged hotels for me.

Steve send me through the flight details please hombre.

Flight details sent biatch, i dont snore "that" bad normally, maybe it was the constant beers and rock hard beds?! lol

I will be a nismo fest with two mates. I would double check the D1 as last i heard that round was cancelled.

Staying at Shinjuku Prince Hotel 4-10th dec and The Prince Park Tower Tokyo 14-17th

Hope to hire a GTR on the 8th or 15th fingers crossed

Cheers Brad

Yeah been there done that, from what i remember of the Prince beds, they're not much good - Aaron feel free to correct me here

I dont care what causes you to snore, i just know i am not willing to see if it may or may not happen again whilst in earshot of me whilst im trying to sleep lol

I may even stay in a hotel next to you just to make sure hahaha

Stupid Japanese walls made out of paper.

You couldn't fit a 20 cent piece between them. Roupongi you must go. There are that many that the right flavour has to be found somewhere in your travels.

Awesome! I'll be there.

Btw. What are some good areas to go driving around and out of Tokyo? I'm gonna hire the new GTR and 911.

Irohazaka, i did it in a GT3 and will get something faster for Nismo festival, Sendai mountains, out in the hills from Kyoto you will find some awesome places. A lot of people drift out there.

The Nikko and Kegon areas are also very nice. Just follow us out :thumbsup:

I think they go on sale soon.

Steveo i hope you are still organising my tickets for me?

My hotel is booked and have found parking right near. Staying in Asakusa again :P

400yen per hr between 07:00-23:00 50yen 23:00-07:00 for parking.

Not bad i guess considering there are 3 of us to share costs.

Will have a car from the 4th to the 6th.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
