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

    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event. 
    • Hi Cody, If you are looking for a simple "bolt in bolt out" solution, I may be able to help via trade. I'm swapping my auto RS4V from stock subframe to a reinforced S14 Rear subframe specifically for track duty. I was looking into different rear core options while the car was in air and I found your thread.   My VLSD rear is freshly changed fluid/inspected. I will say even with Redline diff fluid it is still not as aggressive as I would like with the "sports" viscous core, and coming from a heavily modded evo with full drivetrain I'm looking for a bit more rotation with the throttle.  I second this, the polyurethane bushings are pretty aggressive as is.  If you're interested in the trade, I am driving out to Chicago in September for a time attack event. I could swing by and make the trade somewhere Sept 12-13th or 15-16th if you are interested and you have not already solved this issue yourself. 
    • No, the panel filter is the standard dry one. Yes, I did clean the AFM with electrical contact cleaner.
