Just about to leave for Tokyo for the first time. Staying until the 6th of Jan in Shinjuku. Just wondering if anything major is happening in this time such as Nismo festival etc or any good car showrooms/factories to see??

Also are there places where you can hire GTR's past and present as im hoping to do a little country driving while im there :P

Japan is awesome! I hired an R35 GTR from a place called Premium Rentacar, cant remember exactly where it is but not too far from Shinjuku. highlight of the trip!! cost around $650au for 24 hours including insurance

For real??? I'm thinking of going to Japan later this year, this will be my first trip I will do on my own, always wanted to travel somewhere by myself.

So will no doubt be renting a GTR!!

Do it! It's one of those things that has to be done at least once. Oh and if you're gonna go to Japan try to learn how to say a few things, you'll be suprised how little english people speak over there...

Hi guys,

I'll be in Tokyo between 14th June to 20th June.

Just wondering if there is anything interesting on during this time.

Is it easy to go and visit workshops/race tracks - I'm in it for sight seeing?

My plan is to travel around the city by subway/train

If anyone is up for it we can always meet up for a chat and a beer. :(

Wow - that K-tours thing looks awesome - but 7 days and 6 nights is a little bit too much Osaka for me - As I planned Tokyo specifically - but have not locked in accomodation yet :(

But a side trip to Osaka is very tempting.

I've enquired with k-tours if they can do some sort of 2 or 3 day deal (I do part of the tour instead of the whole lot). I'll await their reply.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
