Hi All,

In planning my trip to Japan, I wanna visit Top Secret which is in Chiba and I believe there is a HKS workshop also in the same area.

Can anyone please give me the addresses coz I wanna go find it. I am in desperate need of a Top Secret and HKS jacket!!!

Are there other cool workshops which would be easy to get to in the Tokyo area? I also want to head to Autobacs but I hear that's pretty easy to get to.

TS is in north Chiba. Get off at Chiba-kita on the Higashi-Kanto expressway, take the left exit after the toll booths and head down the main road about 400 meters. You will see TS on the left side in from a side road. Its right opposite a large second hand car reseller.

Other places to visit? Nismo Omori Factory in Omori, near Shinagawa (you can see accurate directions on how to get there on another thread in this section), Honda HQ in Aoyama, Nissan Gallery/HQ in Ginza, Mitsubishi HQ Showroom in Shinagawa, Cornes in Shibakoen(should be getting the 612 Scaglietti soon). Autobacs in Shinonome is ok, but quite expensive if you want to buy parts. There is an ASL & Tommy Kaira showroom right next to it with lots of cars on display so its definitely a must. Crystal is your best option for well priced parts, there is one close to TS in Chiba. Mine's is close to Kamakura is you happen to go there for the usual tourist visit. There is a Prince and Skyline museum in Mitsukaido (Ibaraki-ken). They have a nice collection of rare cars, and Tsukuba circuit is about a 30 minute drive from there. The museum is a 5 min walk from Mitsukaido station.

Thats all an think of at 12am:D

Leewah. Easy by train.

Depending on the line you will be on, catch the train to chiba then catch the monorail to a station called "Sports Centre".

On the left of the station is the main road. Walk down the steps and turn right and head down the main road.

a few hundred metres down on your left is a Mcdonalds and next door is Crystal (highly recommended)

Unless you feel fit, hail a cab to get from there to Top Secret which is on the same side of the road but several km's further.

I think I've got the Top Secret part worked now. Does anyone know of a HKS workshop I can visit and get cool merchandise from?

As you now know, I'll be travelling by train, so any help is still greatly appreciated.

BTW, if I catch a cab to the Top Secret factory, will the cabby speak English (Engrish) or at least know where I want to go?

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
