funny how everything looks so quiet especially in Rezz's neighbourhood :)
It's probably because those pics were taken at 9am on Sunday morning... but yeah, it doesn't get much more busy than that around my area.

Rezz if you change the resolution of those pics to around 72 DPI, they will still be the same to look at, but they will load a lot faster for everyone.

Eg: a 322kb file can be changed to around 72kb just by changing the resolution. :rolleyes:

and seeing as everyone else is making requests for stuff......

I want to see some irezumi pics!!!! icon10.gif

Holy crap, this is great. Thanks so much Rezz, Dave, et al.

Must... not... sell all belongings... must not... move to... japan...

One day. When I've finished my degree and had enough of this job. I'd love to get an IT job in japan, but I think it'd be rather hard, considering I"m gaijin... probably better to just get an english teachers job.

I've only got one girl pic...

This my "other friend" :thumbsup: (Troy! Don't say anything!!!) standing infront of Yodobashi Camera, that grey building at the end of the overpass. Yes thats right, the ENTIRE building sells nothing but every electronic device know to man... and then some. Well... they sell other stuff too!

Anyone remember that movie "Black Rain" with Micheal Douglas? Well, this is the Hankyu Mall where Douglas has his first encounter with the Yakuza...

An incredibly clean, efficient and *on time* Japanese train. This one goes from the station closest to my house to Umeda, Osaka.

The west Umeda business district. Many of those tall buildings at the end have popped up in the last 5 years... economy in recession my arse.

These 2 pics are of the large open area where 3 underground shopping malls and 2 department store basements meet up, with a subway station over to the right. It's this busy right up until midnight usually.

This my "other friend"  (Troy! Don't say anything!!!)

I say nothing till I meet her my friend :D

BTW: have you guys noticed the decline in yamambas lately?

Gold! Where did you find that one? Yamambas... tell me, could EVER imagine getting one in bed?

Oh yeah, about the decline... wait till July/August...

wats happenin with the peeps sittin on the side of the bridge?? are they buskers??
No mate, it's like a mini Flea Market. They sell all sorts of used jewellery and clothes and stuff.

height thing is a bit of a myth (they've had milk in school lunches for a while now) - the average height is definitely lower than australia, but there is also a distinct difference between the older generation and the new. I'm a shorty at 5'8" or thereabouts, and plenty of my studemts tower well above me.

So.... are you guys like.... really tall compared to the rest of the population?

A lot of the 'people pics' look like they're taken at a level much higher than the subjects.

Nah, I just held the camera up above my head (except for the "Yodobashi Camera" pic) coz people were walking infront of me...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
