Omikuji

Omikuji are fortune telling paper slips found at many shrines and temples. Randomly drawn, they contain predictions ranging from daikichi ("great good luck") to daikyo ("great bad luck"). By tying the piece of paper around a tree's branch, good fortune will come true or bad fortune can be averted.

something like this could work, Juz, any of your Japan society people able to figure out the fortune telling aspect of it?

Actually Pat, you might have something.

In Japanese temple grounds they often have trees - bare ones - with leftover fortune wishes made of paper tied to them.

So you can get to work on the day with pink paper whilst yours truly can dress up in Shinto priest robes to bless each car that goes by...

(which is what I saw being done in Kyoto when I was there - shouldn't be too hard on an old man).

Yes Patty, we can do Omikuji ^ ^ ^

Guys as We discussed at the AGM This Most probably will be an Official Event, And There WILL Be Limited Spots.. So once everything has been finalized we will be able disclose all the Infomation neccesary, The date most probably will be towards the End Of July.

Pat, Omikuji can be made but there really isn't anywhere to hang them. But Please I can't stress enough we can't have loose confetti floating around the place mate.

Also We have Flags, Banners, Etc that will be outside to decorate the place. I Need to see if any of my chef friend's would be keen to do the lunch for us, If not A Sausage sizzle with a hint of Japanese will be organised by myself and included in the Final ticket Price.

yeah i cant wait.

the trees not close enough to the action to bother decorating? maxima hs a special temporary glue that will stop the confetti floating around..at worse i will just get some rope and have it hanging around the trunk like they do at those shrines to protect the sacred tree spirits.

I know it sounds a bit hippy but i have seen it a few times in manga so it has an edge of geeky coolness for me, also i have a friend about to finish at the College if fine arts, he decided he needs some models for his latest project..

Kabuki facepainting!

looks something like this

sorry for the bare shoulders but i did crop out even worse...anyway it takes about an hour and when i told him about this event he said he was happy to come out and offer facepainting in exchange for for sake etc.

I have contacts with some other facepainters who also do it pro bono but they are chinese, similar kind of thing but not exactly 'authentic da neh?'

what do you guys think? also he is looking for some volunteers to finish his art thing, isnt paying but its fun for a lark and he will of course provide you with glossy's of your own to blu tack to the inside of your toilet door. COFA is in Paddington which is also where the studio is.

Of course for the sake event i would bring him out to us but if anyone wants to help out sooner they need to travel there.

PM me for more info.

cant think of anything cooler than a bunch of us driving out of there with faces like that..getting pulled over on the way home? priceless.

Also making some inroads with a japanese couple who play traditional drums.

think the soundtrack to Akira.

tell me your not excited?

That's the confetti you asked for. I don't make the glue, we only do paper products and consultation. I've sent away to Germany for your special glue, should be here by next week, it's being flown over, Lufthansa FTW.

I did half sized barrels as I wanted it to be a bit easier for you guys to move around, like I said the full sized 100kg barrels are a little cumbersome, especially with no cranes etc.

So yeah, you have 200kg of confetti here when you need it. Probably easiest to wait for the glue and get it all at once.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
