The Golden Week is a collection of four national holidays within seven days. In combination with well placed weekends, the Golden Week becomes one of Japan's three busiest holiday seasons, besides New Year and the Obon week (July/August)

The national holidays making up the Golden Week are:

April 29

Green Day (Midori no hi):

April 29 used to be the birthday of Emperor Showa who died in the year 1989. After his death, the day was changed into a national holiday for environment and nature since the emperor loved nature.

May 3

Constitution Day (Kenpo kinenbi):

On this day in 1947, the new post war constitution was put into effect.

May 4

"Between Day" (Kokumin no kyujitsu):

A recently introduced, national holiday to make the Golden Week a continuous holiday.

May 5

Children's Day (Kodomo no hi):

The Boy's Festival (Tango no Sekku) is celebrated on this day. Families pray for the health and future success of their sons by hanging up carp streamers and displaying samurai dolls, both symbolizing strength, power and success in life. The Girl's Festival, by the way, is celebrated on March 3.

yer, depends if they close, or are open like for a day.

Not sure even whether he holds his own stock, or just gets it from suppliers on each order.. if that is the case, then most places will be closed - resulting in delay

shipping for 1x camgear and 1x cap is like $43! just for those items?! thats a bit expensive for the shipping.. especially considering customs will slug too when it gets here

Pred, you should incur no taxes/duties as it will be less than $400.

Oh yeah, I'm gunna hassle you about that fuel pump install soon *Cheesy Grin*

hehe.. well good to hear your car is going to be back soon and all is not lost!

hehe, yer, will be happy to do that still.. i went into fuel pumps having no idea just "that doesnt sound too difficult i think i can do that" and it all worked out fine, so camgear should be same.

can do it same day maybe.. anyhow, decide later.. i am out..

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
