Justin is a good team player I will give you that as you can see from our 4 wins lower on the board and as I said his Singles game is finally picking up and I'm still Jaggy as Evar!!!:D

Justin, you bloody better read this before the end of the week. Are you going to the Suma beach party?

Sure am! Are you?

... should we invite Shan (funkymonkey)? :D

Depends how funky he is...OK funky show us some moves (requesting funky's star wars kid type short clips).

I don't know I should be back Saturday afternoon, but shall we bring any chicks or they will be provided :D. Basically I told you I was jetting off on Thursday but I'm hoping to do it on Friday instead and get back on Saturday.

Hey Justin,

just noticed it says "R32 GTSt Type M under your avatar :P What's the story? I thought you were going for a V35 coupe? :cheers:

I getting both!!! :)

Actually, the R32 Type M will come first, I'm getting it through Troy. The V35 will come after, we're still trying to get a good one at the right price...

Dave, yeah we're almost ready to go...the GTSt is also slightly modified with a stonger clutch :(;):D, so get ready. Your going to be a popular fella in town with 3 nice cars parked in your driveway :). I do hope your driveway is big enough for 3 cars. We're also expecting a few nice scenic places to take photos ;)

No problems on parking space - my driveway can handle it, plus I have access to additional parking about 50m from my place, if you'd prefer to park there. I'm looking forward to it - the home field advantage means I'll be the car in front most of the time! :);) Which is nice since I'm driving the least powerful car! :(

A road with no traffic in Japan - the holy grail - does such a thing exist!?!? :);)

Nah, seriously - if you're prepared to wake up at some un-godly hour then we can have free run on a lot of roads. Being in the country, we don't have many bypasses and the like, but where we are, we can be in the mountain passes in 5 minutes. Most of the roads will be clear, so we'll be free to drive as we please.

I'm planning on showing you my local circuit - we might get lucky and catch some decent action. The drive there is a nice one and the circuit itself, is small, but there's usually something going off. I was there in Sunday, with several Imprezza's, Evo's (very nice and bl00dy quick IV) , plus a handful of others - hachi-roku's, silvias, R33 gtst's and a R32 GTR to name a few. I've also got several spots selected that'll give us decent backgrounds for phots - one happens to be at the Suntory Winery (which is literally behind my place)...

Mountains...ohhh maybe I should ask if I can take the S14 my mate is about to put back on the auctions...I promise not to scratch it :).

and circuits...it's going to be fun ;)

Dave, sound great mate we're also looking forward. I don't think we really need a long road as such perhaps because I think we may end up hitting the highway. I know Justin is itching to hit the highway limiter.

Oh also we need to hit the pool hall sometime during our stay :(

I'm all mixed up which month is which these days...let's get back to the beers :(
Dude I'm moving to Ashiya... you HAVE to see my new apartment! It's about 30 years old @ 50,000yen/month with 200,000yen key!!! It's shit!

But I'm gonna be rich...

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
