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 :)

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
