Hey all... am planning to head to Tokyo or New York for two weeks later this year.

Time of travel will be any two weeks from start of August until end of October. If it's Tokyo I'm thinking early October to head to the MotoGP.

Other than that I'm pretty cruisey, would prefer not to go alone is all so looking for someone to travel with, visit land marks, eat some good food and booze. Hopefully find some good car shows/events!

If you're interested in travelling to either locations or have any suggestions from previous travel let me know!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated :P

theres a groups of us in the us from late august and and all of September, if your over at that time send us a pm we have some pretty cool things planned.

Japan gp would be cool, we head down to phillip island most years and vip it up at an oil or supplier getup.... best event of the year hands down.

So you're talking about Japan then right? Sounds good, although personally I prefer the superbikes... riding around without a helmet doing rolling burnouts is teh win :D

I would love to go but this year it's Hawaii in August, first 2 and a bit weeks. Maybe next year or year after we will hit up mainland US and A. Would also love to go to Japan but I think I will have issues with the food. I don't like much asian food, don't even like rice. So I may be up the creek there. Teryaki steak is good though :)

Have a great trip Charlie

My other half has training in Chicago for a week for work, he's then flying to New York and I'm going to meet him there for a week. I get cheap flights so I may as well take advantage of it. I've been to New York before, I'll just do the normal touristy things again :)

Yeah MUZT3K, train tickets are! :)

Best deal I've been able to find is $1500 Melb>NYC>San Fran>Melb. Otherwise Melb>NYC>Melb is $1200. That's pretty affordable!

Apparantly it's really hot in NYC in August (<ghey) Makes me think of going later in the year... but I want to go noooooow!!!!!!! lol

Last time I went to Japan I got to head out to the D1GP at Fuji Speedway :P great experience.

Also went to the Nismo factory for a looky. Most of our trip was based around car related things!

Would love to go to New York! :) No moneys to spare though.

Business class return flights MEL-LA-NY for me are cheaper than that. My mum works for QANTAS :P

I've done Japan twice now, awesome place.

So will I!

Cool, is a great time of year :cool:

Looks like I should be there around that time as well! What are you guys planning to do and how long for??

As with llama_au, we were there 2 years ago so are heading back to see more. Last time did Rockefeller Centre, Hudson River cruise, Soho, Times Square/Broadway, Wall St, Guggenheim, Central Park, 5th Avenue, some nice bars. Just touristy things there really. To show how popular the city is, we spent the entire 5 days with 2 sets of friends from Melbourne without even knowing they were going in the first place. Just facebook updates. Ended up being a lot more fun as they had been there before and able to show us some good places. :)

I'll be in NY with my GF in August and so will Mav and his wife to be. You're welcome to hook up with us there if the dates match :)

When are the dates being sent through dude! Will be in touch today. :)

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
