I'm up for a few games of pool - I used to be quite good, and had a habbit of cleaning up the table, sinking several balls in a row (which BTW earned me the nickname: Demon Dave :mad:)

but in retrospect it was probably more luck than anything else. :)

I haven't played in years though...never even seen a table in Japan!

They better have the mix nuts.
Yeah, they better! What kind of pool hall runs out of mixed nuts??? Jeez...

Btw, we went to a pool hall in Nishinomiya somewhere, and parked at a "24 Times" parking lot, where we happened upon this:

Z10 Nissan Cube, completely standard apart from those stickers... :headspin:

Yeah Kei-cars or tallboy wagons seem to like a mild dose of sticker-tune. My neighbour's black 98 turbo Move used to have a HKS sticker on the back window and other various sticker-tune...but I don't say much because he gives me free window wiper blades, coolant, etc from work (aftermarket/OEM parts supplier to makers). He's also a nice guy who is still saving to buy a nice car, being young and married ain't easy.

Also Justin will attempt again this Friday to prove his ghey shots will win over my powershots...I will have some photo evidence where possible :rolleyes:

Yeah.. ok. But this time I'll have a team of Japanese girlies cheering me on ;)

Justin how you getting there tomorrow? If your not riding with me, meet at the pool place just after 9pm.

Hankyu Nishinomiya stn, North Exit, keep walking North along the street. You should see the 7-11 on the corner if you remember, and MOS burger is to your left on that coner over a block. Keep walking North another 10 metres and the pool place is to your Right, up the stairs.

:rofl:

Troy for some reason, when I read those directions they sounded just like all the other directions I've ever been given in Japan...

leave this station, go along this street, turn right when you get to a seven eleven...

just re-affirms that once you've been to one Japanese city, you've been to 'em all. :( In actual fact I can picture a place here in Yamanashi that has a similar layout - MOS buger, 7-11 and a (swimming) pool :)

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
    • Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
