Hey Guys

We're hitting up Japan late december (leaving Dece 28th) and coming back mid Jan (back on 11th of Jan).

Just keen to know from those that know of anything happening in and around japan during those days we'll be over there.

Keen to visit a couple of factories (dont know of any that will be open, maybe someone can let me know?)

Plus also want to do some sight seeing of the country too... visit the buddist temples, hiroshima site, etc.

Anyone able to help out and let me know what we can do and where we can go and what is on during this time???

Cheers guy!!!

Tokyo Auto Salon might be on during your stay...plenty of guys on SAU have been so searching the info will be easy

Osaka Auto Messe is also on in January. Kyoto is a 20min trip by train.

Hiroshima, well worth the visit...kinda sad but Meji will cheer you up and it's only a tram ride away.

Its also a very special time of year. From midnight on new years eve, all buddists go to their local or home town shrine. The number of people there in the early hours of the morning is astounding! There's food vendors, and sort-of a carnival fun-for-all atmosphere. Its a great time of year to eat crab nabe, mochi, and lots of food specific to that tme of year.

mmm nabe, mmm mochi and even better ..... mmm nabe with mochi in it. Why did I have to leave my nabe pot in Aichi. I want to wear my nabe pot as a hat so all day I can smell the kimochi goodness.....Where are you now my beloved nabe pot?

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
