Thanks DaiOni.Good post.Do you have any japanese links?

Evo_lee,SKY031 I know it is not any problems finding forums and sites from the net,but I am after information from Japan about tuning and styling.About any support for these kind of cars like with the ae86 and S13 which still is supported in Japan.

Thanks

CM...

Tuning support and parts for:

Toyota: Mr2, Celica, Supra - vastly available, though the Celica isn't very popular.

Nissan: Bluebird Sr turbo, Silvia, 300zx - vastly available.

Mazda: Cosmo, 323 gti - speciality shops...still OK.

Honda: Prelude, Civic 1.6 Vtec (Sir) - vastly available, but the prelude isn't very popular.

links for?  exactly what kind of info do you need?

try the japan links sticky on the japan forum page

Japanese forums or any clubs in Japan with pictures if there are any?

Thanks

Paal

theres the Jenesis Dr30 site, along with a few local dr30. Searching on google is'nt the best way. I can rarely find any info about whatever i am searching for. For example, if any companies make a front kit for the mz20 soarer, or info about the soarer alone. So i ve taken to using altavista, and with better results. By the way, does anyone know of a mz20 kit?

when u say sr20 bluebird, u mean the japanese one? cause the local 80's one had a L20b.

Don't forget the S12 !

Try here for some info: http://www.club-s12.org/

Without that model, the S13 may have never been born. Overlooked by many these days, and contain many of the features found in later Silvia models. Have seen some cool looking ones around.

I went to buy one locally.. but it was very destroyed when i looked at it. Was hardly worth it - so i bought an aussie R31. Whilst hardly anything special, where else in the world can you find an RB30E skyline? hmm, ok i think South Africa as well.. anyhow :)

hachi is (was) cheap too - that's it's real selling point, that's why people drove them - cheap and they did the job. Then along came a cartoon and suddenly the myth outweighed the reality.

it was takumi (which, incidentally, means 'skillful' in japanese) that made the car - and not the other way around.

there's plenty of examples in motorsport where a top driver changed teams, and, suddenly, and 'unbeatable' car suddenly became part of the traffic.

tsuchiya could drive anything, as could shumacher, mccray, etc etc etc.

Yea I see your point, it wasnt designed as a race machine.

But for Keiichi to buy one and race it, and for it to do well against good drivers in powerfull cars, surely that means something to you?

Ah well, its high in my cool rating, even though its way overpriced at the min.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
