They are harder to track. I used to browse the latest issue Drift Tengoku or Option and see what's advertised and what's in the event listings. Either get from Amazon or this place in Melbourne, kangakanga.com . Always try to get the most up to date mag closest to your travel time. Obviously these are written in Japanese, so you'll need some problem solving skills for this, but hey, that's what the internet is for.

If you just wanna see a local drift practice day, get drift tengoku and see what events are run at what tracks while you are there, then organize to rent a car for the day and drive up. If you are new to Japan and intimidated by its f**king crazy freeway network (you are forgiven) I have caught the train (easy) to Mobara station and caught a 25? min taxi to Mobara circuit before. You'll get back somehow, perhaps even get a lift like I did. Just be friendly and interested; not hard under the circumstances.

Also you can visit Toyota Megaweb in Odaiba

And how can you miss D1 Grand prix Odaiba round, April 18/19

While you are at it, there is a Super Autobacs in next to Shinonome station, 2 out from Odaiba. Its less super than it was a decade or two ago, but good to check out (Chain motorbike accessory shop right next to it too)

Lastly if you know the names of circuits (eg Fuji circuit, Nikko circuit, Motegi etc) you can use yahoo.co.jp to search by name and see what's there. The bigger ones even have some English.

Dude, you are making me jealous!!! (note- I lived there for 7 years, but moved back to Melbourne 3 years ago) Now I wanna go.

And now , the best till last, and two I was considering doing next time I'm over

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
