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?

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
