Official SAU Tokyo Auto Salon Contingent...


Recommended Posts

Alright lads, who`s going???

I wanna sort this out so it`s done right...

1) Assign a rally point outside JR Kaihin-Makuhari Station.

2) Have a plan of attack so that (if need be) we can get through all the important stands and displays on the Saturday.

3) Assign group leaders (with phones) who can contact each other if we get split up - if theres enough people going that is...

4) Get lagered...

5) Have a "most candid Campaign girl photo" competition... with prizes :D

6) Go up Tokyo Tower and on the Sunday for those that will stay overnight.

Anybody up for a little Auto Salon action? I know you are Dave!!!

Gents!

myself and 5 others will be in japan from the 1st January through to the 11th, planning on going to TAS on the 10th.

will there be an opportunity to meet up before TAS? dinner? catchup? ropongi? :rolleyes:

we are staying at the Sumisho hotel near Tokyo Central Station is that close to any of you guys?

Can you hire mobile phones from Narita Airport?

The problem for us is that we have 6 in our group. We have 1 contact over there who has an awesome chaser drift car and he said he was going to take us drifting and to the daikoku carpark and freeway runs, but we won't all be able to fit in his car!

Frankie - how about we co-ordinate a meeting spot on the 10th outside the convention centre?

We are staying in Chiba at the New Tsukamoto hotel so we are closer to TAS that you guys as I understand it.

Franky, we have to definatly meet up in japan. Mobile phone rental might be an idea, I shall have my aussie one with me so whilst its expensive to call we could SMS! hehe.

yeah warm clothes, thats a thought eh.

come on man :rolleyes: GSM wont work in Japan! your Oz phone will be useless over there i believe?

nick, i've sent yang this thread, he knows spots around the convention centre so between rezz & yang we should be able to meet, as for you guys :( well ... just look for tourists like us :(:) :) hrm, maybe we should all get SAU shirts and wear them on the day :)

I'll be there with a few of the J-Spec guys... providing that I get my tickets changed from the 15th to the 5th... (yes I found out that I was goin on hols to Japan a week after autosalon, so I figgered I'd kill2 birds with 1 stone)

Alright! Sounds like we`ve got a contingent going...

Franks: You say you`ve got 6 guys coming?

Blitz: PM sent mate, sorry. You`ve got 6 coming too.

Plus Funkymonkey with the "J-Spec" guys... (how many Funkymonkey?)

...and of course me and Demon Dave and our wives...

Thats about 20 people?

Two groups of 10? I have a feeling the J-Sec guys won`t want to join our group though?

god knows how many with j-spec... they've got their own posse up there apparently, coz they have their agents n suppliers n all that acting as tour guide takin em to all the garages, drift comps and autosalon. I was thinkin of taggin along with them, but I'd be more than happy to meet up with you guys.

Thats cool Funky, whatever suits you best. I wouldn`t mind meeting the J-Spec guys anyway.

Theres also 3 or 4 other guys that might be coming along with me, but they`re only tentatively booked.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
