I am looking to head over and book this tour;

Last year looked really good. VIP entry to TAS, spend a day at Fuji Speedway and ride shotgun with local drifters. Visit Daikoku Futo. visit a few workshops, experience the nightlife and then come home.

Sounds ideal to me!

$1699US excluding flights if booked before 31/10/2010

This sounds pretty awesome. I wonder if anyone from SAU has done this before?

cool, looks like there will be a few Aussies there then. Should be good.

Finalised my Early Bird payment today also with a mate.

Only thing on the itinerary I am unsure about is Top Fuel. They are a Honda tuning specialist. Hopefully its worth a look! :)

yeah it will be worth a look. nothing wrong with japanese honda tuning. and this is coming from a bloke who has owned approx 20 skylines and a total of zero hondas but they still make some great cars and there are some great honda tuners in japan. :whistling:

    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm. 
    • I don't believe you.
    • All jokes aside, OP they're just called R32 oem rims as you said. The Nissan engineers back in the late 80's loosely copied the design from the Koya Driftek which was designed and produced about 18 years later.
