Been looking at heading over to Japan for a holiday and wouldn't mind seeing some drifting and whatnot but I have no idea where to start as I have never been overseas. I googled a couple things but I'm not sure what I should be looking for.

So far this looks sort of similar to what I would want to go for. www.k-toursosaka.com

Has anyone used these guys or anything similar and can give me some pointers?

yeah I know the guys that run that and they are really straight down the line. I think you would need to sus out all the costs of hiring the car and what happens if you put it in the wall etc. but have had a few ppl come over and done the 'buy a car and send it back' thing... a lot of complications and costs and stuffing around.

Bonus with using these guys should be costs saved and a heap less organising as far as the drifting goes. Not sure on the tour costs but hanging out with a bunch of clowns that know where the good places are etc makes sure you are making the most of the trip.

If you do decide to come over it gives me a good excuse to get away from work and go driving with a fellow aussie at a track day so make sure to let me know if you do end up doing it.

Well I asked them for an itinery and costs, sounds pretty fun, heaps less hassle not having to worry about organising travel whilst there and stuff, even some non jdm-keen workmates are interested... good prices considering it includes flights...

thanks for posting this up, I would never have thought about it otherwise...

hell its even got me learning some japanese...

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
