It looks so docile with the paintwork! I managed to meet Niikura-san at his workshop a few weeks ago as well(have pic to prove). I was gobsmacked! Couldnt beleive it.

But quite literally though, I have never seen so many R's at the same time. Met alot of cool dudes. Damn I love Japan :D

Was it worth timing a visit around the event? I've been meaning to go for years

I live here now.. but visiting Japan around this time is perfect weather and cost wise because its just coming into Autumn here so its quite moderate.. you can just get by in a t-shirt and theres not alot of festivities. Xmas season is crazy here. They put lights everywhere esp in Toyko Metro area.. but its crazy busy here during that time, or even Sakura season(March). Then summer time its just bloody bloody dangerously hot. It averages around 35 around summer(by 9am its 28-30).

 

If anyone off here is keen to visit, id be more then happy to show you guys around.

Got to love a 400R. I was at the Nismo festival in 2003 and took photos of the yellow one they had on display back then. Never seen one since.

Haha yes - That blue 34 has gull wing doors! Couldnt take snaps as my battery was dying(stupid IOS 18!!!).

That 400R was sexy. I know a guy here that happens to own a Ztune, 400R, and a 2025 Nismo 35 with zero k's(Yes, you read it right.. Z Tune)... I saw with my own eyes. Pretty sure that was the same 400R.

Damn I love Japan.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
