actually aren't bosozoku pretty heavily targetted by japanese police? I remember reading about police cracking down on em. But these meetings aren't exactly all about them, so I guess the cops don't mind.

i know japan is tight on space so you have got to think how the f**k can those guys in those vans find somewhere to park. id love to see them try to reverse parrallell park one of those on a busy street :P

evo lee are most of these cars with crazy mods street legal?? i would have thought that huge wheel arches that look like they are held on with sticky tape and bubble gum and oil coolers hung on the bumper using coathanger wire would not be legal

Nothing is legal in Japan :P just the cops don't bother with it...the rule is don't cause trouble and they will not bother you. By right if the arches were not on the factory car or not engineered, which means the wheels are infact sticking 2inches out of the guard...it's defectable.

As for driving around the streets...you will be surprised how well the truckies in Japan drive, I have seen a semi get through the back streets with precision, if a Aust truckie was to guage how close and tight he had to manoeuvre in Japan he will be saying "NO WAY can you get around that corner"...Japanese truckies will make him eat his words time after time.

Yeah, the term Bozosoku is a little misleading in the thread title. Usually people consider the bike gangs to be bozosoku, but like DaiOni said the term can be used in a derogatory way to refer to a wide range of car groups/cultures and fanatics :P

    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
