OMG I've gotta get back to Japan one of these days. I went there when I was 15 (mainly Gifu), it's a bit more populous than the shots Dave posted, but there are still heaps of vacant blocks, and I don't remember there being many buildings more than two storeys?? Anyway, it's funny that, even in an area where there is plenty of space, they still use space saving house designs. The homestay family I was with, their staircase was like a bloody ladder, it was so steep and narrow. The bastards laughed at me because I came down it backwards - my feet wouldn't fit on the steps going forward :)

I used to be able to speak Japanese fairly well, but having not used it for the best part of seven or eight years, you could say it's pretty rusty :)

thats one of my friends we were winding down after a long and hard night..

soon i will take some pictures of the cars in my area... theres a couple of great ones...

"thats one of my friends"

japanese?

that pic struck me as very odd. I've never seen that happen.

Brian, check out the latest "Japanzine" (you know the one?) theres a pic of an old Japanese dude asleep on the floor of the train... a tourist took it.

... and heres Andrews mate thinking he's found a way to out do the Japs/do something funny!!! :)

Bahhh...back in Xmas '99 after a long night out, we all caught the first train home back to Sanda. A few of my mates including myself slept along the seats against the wall and a few climbed up onto the bag racks and slept there all the way from Amagasaski to Sanda. They couldn't give a fark anymore, we were all completely exhausted and drunk. I'm sure the attendant would have came around but none of us would have been awake.

...and we wonder why the Japanese think of us so badly, stupid young gaijins we were. I guess it better us sleep on the train home then sleep at the park.

This reply is WORTHLESS without pics!!!! :)

 

Bloody Aussie tourists...

LOL...I wish I had, though the fact was it was 5 years ago and I couldn't afford a Digi and we were all completely smashed.

Like we will be with the upcoming installment of the "Just tryin to get it in - consult me!!! aka Justin" Vs "Jaggy Bastard aka Troy" next pool game.

Here are some pics of the truly *HUGE* electronics megastore, Yodobashi Camera:

It really is my favourite store in the world... bar all the SuperAutobacs, Crystals, UpGarages etc :D

A typical giant TV screen... a feature of the bigger cities in Japan. This ones different because it's "Yodobashi-Vision".

Hey!!! It's Eric Bana! Anyone remember him from the Comedy Company? Well, of 100 Japanese girls polled, 95% of them prefered Eric Bana over Brad Pitt!

There had to have been at least 1000 people on the 1st floor alone... :0

5tvs.jpg

Just 1/3 (!!!) of the TV display... see how the display curves around to the left? Well theres just as many big flatsceen TVs stacked like in this pic going around the full 180 degrees.

I liked this one! ALL the info for the status of the media in use is displayed on that little screen, BECAUSE THIS MUTHA HAS A 40 GIG HDD!!!!! And ADSL network adapter! NO.MORE. CD. BASED. MEDIA. Everything can be d/l'ed irect from the web. Are these type of stereos in Oz? :D

At this point, a security guard politely asked me not to take anymore pictures... nevertheless, I shall be back with more soon!

hey rezz....is it worth holding out to buy a digi camera or any electronic stuff in japan than say from duty free?? im headin down in a month thats why i ask:D
One word... YES!

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
