Hey all.

so, me and a friend we're discussing going to japan sometime next year, just wondering a few things.

-What places to go to?

-When the best time to go?

-How much money would a 2 week trip cost?

-ect.

we were planning on staying in tokyo for one week, and we're not sure on the 2nd week.

we would also like to hire a nice car when we're over there (most probably the 2nd week) what would we need to do this?

any help or info would be much appriciated.

thankyou

it also depends on what hotel you want to stay at.. do you want a fancyish hotel? a hostel? e.t.c

i'm staying in tokyo this year for 3 weeks at the shinagawa prince main tower. total cost for the hotel only is only around $2362.50. works out to around $220/night

the 2 week trip that i did in 2008 came to ~$4,000+spending money

Basically comes down to how small or large is your budget.

You can stay in Tokyo area for as little as ¥3,600 a night for a business hotel or up to ¥100,000 for pimping hotel.

If your on a budget and just need a place to crash business hotels are the go.

Often some sort of breakfast is thrown in, its edible but I'd be buying a few extras from convenience store for snacks.

They have the basics..TV ,Internet , Bed , Shower,Toilet and just enough room to swing a cat.

Car rental you can pick up from ¥5000 a day for a small K car and upwards from there.

You'll just need an International licence and your passport.

Jan/Feb is a good time as if you time it right you have Tokyo Auto Salon, HKS Premium Day, Osaka Messe and there should be a few drift events on as well.

Japan's summer is the best time if your there to chase candy..and there's plenty of it on tap.

ha ha ha, i already have some candy.

yea we wont be going for a pimpish hotel, somewhere in between i think. Y know maybe like $100-$200 a night would be fine.

so January/Feburary hey? maybe it'll be 2013 then.

another question, whats the go with visiting tuning shops? like is there an etiquette?

also what the language gap like over there? will i need to take a translating device of some specification? or is there enough english speaking around?

If you are just doing tourist type stuff you will be fine using only English, almost everyone in Japan has at least 6 years of learning English, most have 12 years. Many people will be embaressed to speak it but you will survive. Most train maps, street signs etc are in English and Japanese. Just dont expect to go to some dark alley with a tiny Ramen shop and discuss metaphysics with the owner and you will be fine. People are extremely understanding with foreigners.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
