which day you going?  I'll depart nagoya at 6/feb :)

Will I'll be there from 2-9th feb, mostly up the north islands for lots of snowboarding, but venturing down to tokyo/osaka for a few days to check out the car scene (and buy some cheap bits!)

How long are you over for?

I'll arrive at nagoya tomorrow night, then first half week is at tokyo for TAS, then off to sapporo to get frostbites for a week. Back to nagoya after that and just relax for the rest of the time. looks like Up Garage stores for 2nd hand stuff is worth a visit, autobacs with retail price are about the same as order stuff from here.

so about 3.5weeks at japan I guess..

gf went to snowboard trip at nagano few weeks ago, where winter olympic held years back. Looked like lots of snow too so you wont b disappointed if you are heading north. :)

ed, also if you can stretch your visit time at japan, see if you can goto osaka auto messe..

11/feb to 13/feb

its more tuning parts specific than just typical auto rice salon I guess :)

cant streach that far :P ahh well... I hope to get to TAS next year.... so i'll just have to wait!

I'm hooking up with a friend of mine to take me around a few workshops in tokyo/osaka..... she's also checking out some bits for me :)

that would b cool, I'll probably b going to auto messe if I goto japan next time depends if gf is still there or not.

well I'm all packed and theres no room in suitcase to take those race queens back, stupid winter clothes :)

um, no..

He was after $5k for his.. but its not worth that.. $3k i reckon he'd take.. its a GXE (the more luxury spec)

p.s. this is the one I'm buying: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=59664

i know i *was* after a wagon.. but silvertop RB20det and manual.. and the plush pimp interior is hard to go past. Something different.

The thing with a wagon, its one of those useful things some of the time, fun some of the time, but rest of the time it's like driving a boat :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
