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

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
