rezz, thats correct! 6 guys! incl. me....what are the chances of moving 20 guys around the place! haha like to street meets, drift action etc etc!!! hahah.

Sounds pretty difficult! Altough never undestimate the holding capacity of a Toyota Estima... :rolleyes:

Sorry, I meant Toyota Estima "rent-a-car"...!:rofl:

hehe, i am going to talk to the boys about renting a car in japan. i think that will be the way to go if we were to go and travel into the mountains etc....

it might be cheaper than catching 2 cabs everywhere aswell (where we can't catch trains) ... but were right next to tokyo central station, so it shouldn't be too difficult!

TAS04 is on the weekend of 10,11 and 12th? of January.

20 guys in an Estima - should be possible! :rofl:

Rezz, I should be able to go (wife and son also). Just wanna confirm with everyone on the thread - what day will the SAU be invading the TAS??:D:D

Friday is open to the public, but I believe it's from mid afternoon only.

Oh, for anyone wanting more info on the event look here

Hahaha we are 2 stops away staying in Chiba. 15 minutes via train

That Makuhari website and the autosalon page have loads of helpful info no how to get there via train/bus/car

Should make things easy

yeah, but IMHO, you're too far away from the centre of the city!

TAS is only 1 day for us! we have 10 days in Japan.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
