Rezz, how bout some manga/anime reviews? OK maybe its a personal request but it is one of japan's biggest Icons.

also I think a sticky post on Teaching jobs in Japan is the go.

I'll let you know any mroe ideas as I go along...

oooh ooh, how about a "translate this" thread... I've done a couple recently and it feels good to know some rudimentary jap. :P

It's all good...

Wow, we can expand on this 10 fold. I think this is the beginning of the next phase of the Japan section... another sub-section, another moderator, more sticky threads, a new color scheme... stay tuned!!!

Bumping this old thread up...

Thanks Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of late, the info dispensed has been really helpful, and more and more members are getting their cameras out and making photo threads (most interesting IMO!).

Cheers guys, keep up the good work! :D

Well done Lukas, thanks!

Good idea too... about the race tracks. I can do TI Circuit Aida and Suzuka Circuit Mie, and possibly Central... can some of the Tokyo guys post up info about Fuji, Tsukuba, Motegi etc?

hey guys just wanted to say thanks for all the great info that you guys provide.

its really good that there are some people in japan who are willing to help us out here like this.

:D

just a suggestion. I was thinking that maybe we could sticky a thread listing some of the main tourist attractions in japan whether they be car related or just really good places to visit in japan. I say this because there is always heaps of posts with people asking where is this and where is that i am staying in "X" and want to go here where is it. If all of us could contribute with information on where places are what they are and what the nearest transit points are it would probably be pretty cool. i think that the information on tracks in japan is a good start :D

i know lots of travel guides deal with the big attractions like disneyland and fuji and so on but we could make our info a little more personal. Its always good to get a locals perspective

so keep up the good work :headpsin:

thanks

Glenn

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
