wow you are very lucky, were about 40 mins away from the wangan (well that of course is about 2 am in the morning). we can exchange information if you like. get you around tokyo and such, you single? i can let you out with the stupid american gi's and get drunk in roponggi. he he he he. :jk:

hey my car came from around your area rezz... i've got the dude's address, if I gave it to you can you go slap him for wearing the steering wheel down to the metal and for not getting a sunroof? :(

As for pressies, go with something cultural from England, like fine english crockery or something as simple as an elegant old coat hangar. Something pratical and something that they wouldn't think is too western to use around their house.

i just thought of something... how about tea... there's nothing more english than a cuppa tea... (even tho the best shit comes from Sri Lanka)... or maybe a traditional black brolly and a bowler hat. Or how about an antique walking stick?

Deadly serious, mwahaha, good stuff. Im not sure if they will let me take photos of internal JUN, but if I can I will.

Basically my letter stated who I was, where I am, what my background was, what my aim in life was, and how I wanted to get there. Oh and how I wanted work experience at their place.

I can put up the fully written one if you want, but its cheesy as hell.

yeah show us the letter, I might write in to HKS and try my luck... or Kazama, seeing as Troy already has connections in there. I'd love to get into their ECU mapping and tuning knowledge... hmm maybe even Apexi.

"Dear Sirs.

I am writing to you to ask about giving me the opportunity to visit Japan for my work experience.

I was raised around cars and motor sport, and my fascination with speed has inevitably steered me towards Japanese performance cars. My dad,infact is a Japanese car enthusiast, currently owning a Toyota MR2 Turbo.

The dream I have is to move to Japan and set up my own/partnered tuning garage, working with Japanese sports cars. I would obviously gain a lot of knowledge from visiting the country before hand. As you work around this area and have people based in Japan, I thought you may be able to help me.

I have basic mechanical know-how and I am currently rebuilding a mini for further experience, and hope to have a very nice car at the end of it.

I may have something to offer the Japanese tuning scene that has not been an option for many people as yet. Nothing is agreed, but I have connections with Arrow Race Engineering, this could prove to be a very nice way to get more parts to the people.

I can appreciate that you are very busy, keeping the business great, but your help and advice would be extremely useful.

Yours faithfully.

This was written a while ago, I may have done it slightly differently now, but it worked.

As you can see I kept it breif and tried to stay on subject.

Basically you just need to get to the point. Busy people dont want to read about the book youve just written when they have things to do.

Anyway, yea go for it Funkymonkey, that would be good.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
