Alexi,

When i looked at it on street view it has all the vertex signs out the front as well as Vertex Yokahama writing on the sign on the front of the building.

If you have some good places post them up as is hard to work out where some of these shops are particularly when you don't know Japanese.

Regards

Matt

Vertex is the name of the line of aero parts they make. The company is called Car Make T&E.

Car Make T&E is located here. You can see it across the street.

The workshop where they actually build cars is called Sui:Vax (pronounced "swee-vah") and is kind of nearby, located here.

It is hard working out where some of these places are and if you were thinking of going over would be easier having the google link location so you can work out which train to catch and where to go. If you have the time would be great if you can add for the wider audience any further ones that come to mind.

Would be good if a mod can edit my first post with the correct links???

Whilst there earlier this year we managed to stumble across a few places completely by accident. We were at a small place ordering a feed off the vending machines when we saw this place (Garage A) over the road, unfortunately I have no idea where we were at the time.

They had a crazy LHD FC RX7 and a few sound comp vans. The bloke that ran the place was a nutter, he sat in the van at 120db with no ear plugs or anything.

If you're over there and Alexi helps you out, try to convince your mates that carrying on like a wanker is rude and disrespectful - especially in traffic. :down:

I actually just got back, speaking to the guys @ T and E there is a few other workshops around where there factory is. JIC was one of them, not sure if this is just the service factory or the actual factory as didn't get a chance to check it out.

JIC Japan

A lot of these larger places don't sell to the public but through dealers so addresses on web sites seems hard to work out,

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
