Would anyone mind two more people tagging along? My brother and I will be vacationing in Japan in January and one of the highlights of our trip will be going to the TAS. We will be leaving from California U.S. and will be in Japan Jan. 11-19.

We're planning on staying at the Shiba Hotel (same as CircusMonkey :()

Since this is our first trip out there, we plan on doing a bunch of toursit stuff, so we shouldn't be much of a bother to you guys.

Hey, I will be going too with my gf and another of my mate with some of his friends from Singapore. Think I stated in another thread but I'm being missed out in this thread!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrival Narita 13th Jan, Departure 17th Jan

Still awaiting confirmation for hotel room at Shinjuku Vintage (AU$110). Anyone has better recommendations on pricing and the proximity nearest to Shinjuku?

Will be visiting TAS on the Sat for a day only due to tight schedule as I'm doing some usual tourist rounds.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will be super duper grateful if anyone can let me in on the garages and workshops visit list and also the itinerary for Sat.

Cheers

Hey Blitz,

I will be staying at the hotel (new T) on the 14th, we fly out the next day so Friday is the only day I can have a look around. What are you guys up to on Fri??

Ken

Hi Ken,

Nick (blitz) and I are travelling to Japan together. I don't know yet what Nick has planned for us yet on the friday, but I'm sure we could meet up at some point. See you there.

Richard

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
