hey guys, im headin down to osaka next weds for 2 weeks and i figured id ask the gurus of japan for the "to go" places.

we will be doin the typical sight seeing around the area like kyoto and stuff like that for a couple days but as were staying in oska most of the time, id like to emerse myself in the street/sub culture of japan. so if anyone knows where i could find:

- markets...sunday markets.

- dance studio's/shops.....im into all that bboying and house step.

- entertaining laid back night life

- strange and bizzare places...shops

- electronic and fashion area's

- and of course places like autobacs, up garage so i can pick up some goodies.

if u could also be kind enough as to doodle on the map to show me roughly where things are that would be great!! its not the best map in the world but thats all i could find on the net.

cheers.

- markets...sunday markets.

Tempozan or Nanko WTC/ATC

- dance studio's/shops.....im into all that bboying and house step.

Amerikamura, Shinsaibashi area.

- entertaining laid back night life

Amrikamura, Sannomiya (Kobe) heaps of clubs and discos.

- strange and bizzare places...shops

everywhere is strange and bizarre...city back streets.

- electronic and fashion area's

Electronics: Nipponbashi, Yodabashi superstore (Umeda).

- and of course places like autobacs, up garage so i can pick up some goodies.

Autobacs are everywhere, closest ones in Umeda (Osaka city) is West of JR Osaka

Give us a hell when your here...and show you a few nices places.

Kyoto is a tourist place so it is quite self orientated and English speaking.

thanks for that....i cant wait to get there.

with the markets....is there a certain day that theyre on or is it pretty much everyday??

gonna hold u on that:D:D thanks again.

210?? fark me.....i dont think ive ever done 200 before...haha. looks like a really good trip along the coast:D

my trip might last only 10 days so far due to fights. been put on the waiting list to get another 5 days out of it....arrrgghh!! i just hope i get it:D

in regards to buying stuff like clothing and electronics in general...is there any room for asking for a better price? or would i come across as being a cheap ass foreigner and get a "THIS AINT BALI MATE" look. cause im lookin at gettin the canon IXY 500 in japan for around Y38,000-Y40,000 or so wich is like $250 or so cheaper than in australia.

Absolutely no chance of haggling in Japan....you will find the prices of most things in Nipponbashi to be almost the same from shop to shop. Just be careful about cams.....I know lots about the Sony DSC cams and if you buy a Japanese domestic model, you can still change to English/;PAL/ and use 240v....but you won't get an English manual Some of the shops in Nipponbashi (nicknamed denden town) carry international models...

The markets....mate, don't waste your precious holiday time......alot of the markets in japan sell used clothes at ridiculous prices....new clothes are cheap enough, but you have to watch for really dodgy english on T-shirts. If you wear anything larger than an M size is Australia, you are gonna struggle.....for jeans, pants....larger than a 34.....no chance.

I would spend the money and go to Universal Studio Japan....the only thing is, you are coming here during school holidays...you will be pretty overwhelmed by the crowds i think....

pfft what are you talking about.... if you shop in tokyo ask for a discount.... if ur un akihabara you will most likely get one... i saved qbout 40 dollars on my digital camera.... a few months back oh and my eletric dictionary... and this sunday my cd/ dvd/mp3 5.1 stereo system...

if your lucky and Justin gets his car in time...we'll go for a run on the Wangan, Route 4 and 5 from the airport all the way to Kobe...cruising speed is 210km/h :D
My old girl? I hope she can get up to 210km/h, let alone exceed it!

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
