website has been updated..... :banana: can't wait. been wanting to go for a lot of years now, but we have avoided going to Tokyo in Winter...

Tokyo isn't too cold in winter, it's Hokkaido (which has already had snow) and the mountainous areas like Nagano that you have to be careful of.

Ha Roach you obviously never been at Fuji Speedway late Janaury with freezing cold wind blowing off Fuji...F@#king cold mate and Ive lived almost 10 years in Hellkaido.

I'm in Hellkaido now at my house in the mountains and it snowed last night.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day so I'll get some snaps.

perhaps... although I was hoping to get to the Skyline Prince museum this time, but it is closed during winter :(

Mate watch the food you eat as there is a lot of contaminated stuff about.

Dont be afraid to ask where your meat or veggies are from and if from some of the hot spot areas, give it a miss.

Jap goverment is still being extremely sly on a lot of stuff in regards to radiation so just be wary when eating out and its a good idea to buy bottled water and drink as much Sapporo beer as you like.

I think someone had a few too many Sapporos before he wrote his post :cheers:

Fuji Speedway is 100 ks from Odaiba - while it does snow in Tokyo occasionally I walked to TAS from the station in a jacket and jeans last year and was fine - no need for a beanie or thermals.

looking forward to the photos - never been to Hokkaido :thumbsup:

No beers have been consumed for almost a week.

I know where Fuji is and know that Tokes can and does get cold and especially coming from an Oz summer it can be a bit of a shock to the system.

Yep no need for thermals but when the winds out of the N-NW it can be quite crisp and brass monkey weather. I've seen snow in Chiba.

A few safe sappy cans on the way and a few nips of Jack stashed in your jacket should keep you plenty warm when watching outside events.

Didnt go last year events but been to plenty of Tas's before. 50/50 if I'll go this year but going to Tokyo Motor show in a few weeks, then Nismo and then Rev Speed @ Tsukuba

i will be attending again this year.... i do remember bumping into a group of you guys from aussie-land over at Omari Factory last year.... we were the Americans there with Tomei (Allen L)

should be another good trip! ive also concerned myself with beef and whatnot coming out of radiation areas..... and bottled water is key!

i dont understand that. yes mabye in poorer countries. but i've been drinking tap water from japan. i honestly cant see any diffrence between them.

Because of the f*kushima disaster. Check elrodeo666's link in the "6 months on" thread. Radiation is still being detected in prefectures around the plant. I drink bottled water when in Tokyo but not in Chubu. You are right about the taste though, I can't tell any difference between the water in New South Wales and Japan.

That was me and a few others. We are giving next year a miss but heading up to Nismo festival later in the year.

Heya all :)

I'll be there for TAS 2012, flying out Saturday night as it's my last day in Japan (after 3wks).

I'm completely free from the 9th till the 14th and would like to check out some car stuff like Nissan (I own a 32R), Toyota (I'm in production management and they are world leaders in lean manufacturing), Mazda (owned a tidy and tough RX3 and spent 15yrs playing with rotors)

Beer in Japan anyone??

Mark :)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
