i havnt been to japan before, nor do i know much about what goes on in japan.... SO MY QUESTION IS.... should i go in november?? or go a later date?? should i stay in tokyo?? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A MOTORSPORT EVENT drift, drag, super GT... OR a nismo festival or a HKS DAY and do all the ''tourist' things aswell see all the cool things japan has to offer :)

SO MY QUESTION IS

1: is there any motorsport events on around the 1st or nov till the 8th?? and how far from tokyo??

2: should i come another date? EG: cause tokyo festival is the month after? or something.. ( if there is a festival massive guess)

3: IS TOKYO THE PLACE TO STAY? i want to see all the flashing lights, people, lifestyle.... and also the old japan, gardens, buildings,

any help would be great!!!!!!... even a link with dates on festivals

Put it off a month and you'll be rocking in around Nismo festival time and if you time it right also Rev Speed time attack at Tsukuba.

Nismo festival will be on 4th December at Fuji Speedway.

Revspeed is usually the following Friday.

Nismo festival link translated : http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nismo.co.jp%2Fnews_list%2F2011%2Fevent_information%2F110005.html&act=url

Tokyo is good base as easy to get to and fro plus yep plenty of bright lights, people and plenty of old Japan about to keep you busy.

Getting to Nismo Festival and Tsukuba can be done by public transport but your way better off hiring a car, for a week you can get a little K car for under 4000yen a day.

Also Jetstar just put up Japan ticket sale today ..tickets starting at $299 each way.

I'm actually looking at setting up a 7 day tour around that time with workshop tours , Rev Speed day, Nismo Festival Day, some cultural tourism and couple of nights at at some friends Japanese bars and clubs.

I'll be posting up some more info regarding all this next middle of next month.

Hope this all helps..

ive been to japan dozens of times and lived there for a while too and i still have fun everytime. even if you didnt see any motorsport events you will still have a phat time. there is an endless amount of things to do especially in Tokyo

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
