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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
