It's got me stumped......

It would appear that in japan the word for C210/C211 has the same meaning as the word "Japan" or something...because if i type "my japan" into google i get heaps of C210/C211 sites

They seem to refer to their cars as "My Japan"

Am I right, or is there some other explanation?

Got me stumped man, I tried doing the same thing as you, but I just get the usual "Japan weblog" and tourist type websites...

That said, I don't think anyone refers to their car as "my Japan", must be some kind of re-occuring phrase in the search results?

Case Number 1

Case number 2 (note the text on the shirts)

Case number 3

Case number 4 (follow the links and you will find much more of the same)

This is how i got the impression that it might be the same word or something

it only happens with c210/c211's seems that c211 = japan lol

Yeah, just reading through those sites you posted, and the C210 was dubbed "Japan" because it was the first massed produced sports sedan/coupe to be sold simultaneously throughout Japan back in '77. Much the same as the "Ken Meri" KPGC110, I think the advertising at the time for the C210 "Japan" had alot to do with emotional themes, trying to stike up some 'o that old flower power free love '60s bizzo.

... hence "my Japan"... it's kinda emotional type reference.

Believe it or not Jason, I still keep an eye out on Yahoo Auctions Japan for your hotplate rear tail lights... nothing yet, and I really don't want you to get your hopes up, those C210/11 hotplates are rare, even for here!

Thanks buddy, your a legend! I look occasionally but i have to use babel fish for every little phrase on the page, because for some reason there is an error when you try to translate the whole page from jap to eng...

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
