12:25 here peeps.

What a day its been. We had an early start and headed out to TAS and met with Demon Dave and Rezz before entering the real Autosalon that puts Sydneys effort to shame.

So many nice pics to come. Most of us have spent way too much cash - we filled a trolley with gear at the Ichikawa Super Autobacs store tonight so we are feeling the dent in our wallets as we speak.

Lots of cool shit here.........awesome cars on every street corner. B-man you would dig the sheer number of crazy pimp cars with insane camber and some with airbag suspension.

We are heading back to TAS tommorrow - its really not possible to get the whole show covered in 1 day.

Stay tuned... more to come later.

:)

You able to take any pics of nice Stageas for me Nick/Carlo etc?

What a day! It was great to finally meet so many of you, I think we had around 15 to 20 people from both the SAU and GTR.co.uk boards. :cheers:

The Auto Salon was very impressive, some totally awesome cars but for me the car of the show had to be a light blue Do-Luck styled R34 GTR...

or maybe the hummer with 26inch wheels...:D

or the Lambo's...:cool:

Apologies for not being able to make it later in the evening (had to get back for my son). I imagine Rezz is still on his way back to Kobe, so expect lots of pictures later tonight or tomorrow. Unfortunately in my haste to leave my place at 5am I forgot my digi cam :) so was stuck using a disposable camera for the day....I'll try and get the pics processed, scanned and uploaded ASAP!

:wave:

I'd imagine there's plenty of stagea pics, since they were there in force some very nice kitted out ones too. I think the most popular car in the salon was the 350Z, just about every stand had a modded one. Closely followed by the RX8. Still plenty of cars represented from all the major Japanese manufactuers, but without a doubt Nissan seemed to dominate the show :)

Hey guys

shall take some stegea photos for you

Here is a few more photos. Excuse poor quality, I had to drop it to upload them.

Mister donut! Japans answer to krispy kreme.. Okay maybe not

Hey Nick did you manage to catch up with Greg as i think he was going to be meeting you a few days ago?

If you see him let him know everything is running smoothly with the stuff he wanted me to look after

Ben - Gregs a champion, hes pretty much been living at our hotel since Friday.

Well guys another day another super autobacs. Word on the street was that Tokyo Bay super autobacs was THE place to check out so after an expensive night last night at the Ichikawa store we headed to Tokyo ay Super Autobacs for 2 storeys of parts heaven.

Between our 3 hotel rooms we have enough to start our own parts shop - pretty cool.

We headed back to Tokyo Autosalon in the afternoon for photos of the girls and cars that we missed out on yesterday. When we get back and I put up my web photo gallery you will all see how amazing some of the cars here really are.

Tommorrow its time for Mount Fuji on the 300kph bullet train.....we are dreading the colsd though - its currently about 0 degrees here in Chiba and its going to get alot worse at Mount Fuji.

Anyhow time to sleep - more updates soon.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
