What about some pics from Niigata, Brian?

...and Andrew surely you must of taken some shots around Chiba???

Streeter? South Osaka?

C'mon guys, we need more localized pics!

I've got plenty, but no webspace to put them up. I could attach them I guess. Tonight I even found mypics of the local magic mushroom/panty vending machine :(

A friend of mine must have come close to losing a finger to the yaks tonight - wish I had a photo of his face at the time! He's borrowing their tattooist - said the wrong thing (he's well known as a social nightmare) at the wrong time when the boss dropped by. Mental note: do not make jokes about the yakuza in their presence :(

Funny ol' place, japan.

These are some pics of my little trip...

Hope to be heading back ASAP.

This just reminded me a bit of Family's from Initial D

Which luckily enough I got to watch at about 2am in my hotel room!

Hello Kitty sub box... I love it

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to ride the bullet train,

I had a nice big smile when the YOU ARE NOW TRAVELLING IN EXCESS OF 300km/h came up on the LCD screen. I lucked into the coolest looking train as well, expensive habit though!

Japan is a pretty amazing place, the slow train to Kochi let me take in some countryside...

The local Up Garage was pretty cool too

Just a cool (not exactly modded to my taste) R34

Anyway... Japan is weird. Can't wait to get back there

...and Andrew surely you must of taken some shots around Chiba???

i havent many photos of around actual chiba but i have a few of nishi funabashi around my apartment building

the first pic is Iidabashi taken from the 10th floor of my school

the others are pictures from outside my place

Nice photos Akeenan... the japanese definitely have the whole track housing thing down pat. :(

The bar photo, I gotta ask... what are japanese women like when they're out on the turps? Are they quiet, or do they carry on like australian women? Do gaijin even stand a chance with them? :D

Heres some different shots I took on Saturday. I only 3x optical zoom on my Canon Ixy 500, but I tried to make good use of it with these "spy" shots...if you can call them that! I didn't go after the big modified cars (Troy can attest to the abundance of modified cars going past my house on Route 2) but I went after every day cars instead, and a suprise car...

Thats the big bridge down by Sushine Wharf where SuperAutobacs is.

Just a typical Saturday morning in Settsu Motoyama.

Same as above but looking west.

3march.jpg

This is the Bridgestone (pronounced "Bu-ri-ji-stoe-n" in Japanese! There you go!) Gasoline Satnd directly across the road from me. Just shortly after this pic was taken, that dude creaning ;) the windscreen ran out onto the middle of the road, and waited there, holding up traffic long enough for the March to come out and drive off... can you imagine that happening in AU/UK/NZ/US???

3_2cv2.jpg

If I'm not mistaken.. this is a CITROEN 2CV!!!!! WTF??? ... and you thought Japan was high-tech! Theres that dude again holding up traffic...

3celica.jpg

A Celica and Civic just cruising along... the ZZT231 Celica is pretty popular around were I live, theres no less that 3 mildly modified SS-IIs on my block and adjacent blocks.

3stagea.jpg

Alright! This is more like it... Stagea 2.5 25RS that had a nice burble to the exaust.

3grandis.jpg

Mitsubishi Grandis van, and a DC5 Integra Type R (the good JDM version... not the barebones AU version!)

3civicvan.jpg

At first I thought this was a "Honda Legreat", but now I'm not sure... anybody know what it is? I think the fact that you can get a carbon bonnet and decent kit for it must mean it's at least mildly popular.

3landcruiser.jpg

Toyota Landcruiser 4.7 "Cygnus" (the Lexus version in AU?) with all the fruit. That dude on the little motorbike thingy are a dime a dozen too.

3evo7.jpg

One for Troy... Evo 7 in it's home environment... chugging around at 50km/h stopping every 100m for the traffic lights. Sweet, I love 'em though. Probably the only other car I'd look at other than a Skyline.

3gloria.jpg

What are the chances of seeing a Y33 and Y34 Gloria side by side on the street? They weren't friends either... the Y33 came up real quick the overtake the Y34 on the right side.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
