Yep I worked it out the hard way!

Actually completed the mission and got out there though! Well worth the extra effort, it's about 100x more interesting than the old one. Got plenty of photos and bought some small things and a team jacket. Can't post any photos but if you check out the SAU page on fb they are up on there.

So I checked out autobacs in the hope they might have some cool stuff but all they had were some razo shit, a hks pod filter and about a million different types of car fragrance. Where do the locals buy their bride, tomei, greddy, hks etc gear?

super autobacs in tokyo bay.

they've got a decent range of wheels, plenty of recaros, brides, takata harnesses, some GTR hyper rev mags, some nismo gear, aisles of air fresheners, rear view mirrors, defis, pretty much the works.

was it hard to get to the nismo factory? im heading to japan in a couple of weeks and THIS would be awesome to visit

Take the train to JR Tsurumi and catch a cab. Getting to Tsurumi is easy, telling the cabbie where to go is a bit more of a challenge as my one got a bit confused at first but then called on the rado and worked it out. It's not as convenient as the old Omori Factory but it's definitely worth the effort. Probably about an hour out of Tokyo. Take some directions in Japanese with you. And be sure to ask the nice lady at the Nismo counter to get you a cab back to Tsurumi :)

Oh and don't follow the instructions on the Nismo english website! They haven't updated the location of the new Nismo HQ. Check this out http://www.nismo.co.jp/showroom/accessmap/img/map_img.png

Take the train to JR Tsurumi and catch a cab.

Namamuggi station is the station you want to get to. It's much closer than Tsurumi station though it's not on the JR line (only an issue if youre sticking to JR lines due to having a JR pass). From here you can either walk about 15 - 20 minutes or try your luck finding a cab. There aren't many out that side of town as it is an industrial area :/

Ramie, mate hire a car punch in phone number into gps job done ! You can ask for english gps .

Having a car you can hit half a dozen workshops in near by areas plus pop into daikoku.

You'll see a lot more with a car and have the freedom to go where ever you want and driving in Japan is easy.

If you haven't booked your hotel I can help you line up a cheap place with car park and can help sort rental car, I use Japanese web booking sites and have club cards so get deals. Send me pm or email me if you want.

One thing to keep in mind , Golden Week (27/4 ~ 06/05) is not far away and Japan shuts down big time plus getting hotels or car rentals are extremely difficult and travelling on trains through this time..forget it, its a total nightmare.

Elrodeo666 knows his stuff. I lived in Japan for 7 years and his comments are on the money. and sometimes even just successfully finding these places is half the fun, as you might not see as much as you expected once you get there.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
