Justin,

a couple of years back I drove to Kyoto...IIRC the drive was somewhere between 3 and 4 hours, but that was 5 people, plus luggage, packed into a Nissan cube with 89 PS of raw power and a max cruising speed of around 80mk/h, less when going uphill :):P:)

I imagine, in light traffic and with a heavy right foot, you guys could easily do it in around 2 hours or so....

Mmmm, interesting... Troy, what do you think?

Dave, I've been quoted anywhere as long as 6 hours!! ;)

but that was from my place to Kyoto - no Osaka. Depends on the traffic really - going there took a lot longer (as I recall) 'cause we got caught up in traffic around Nagoya...

As I said before, I highly recommend you stop off at the Nissan Prince museum in Nagano - it's on the way to Yamanashi and well worth the visit...it'll break up the long hours on the expressway too....

if you give me the post code, or name of the area of where you're living now I can run it through me Nav system and get an accurate time/distance report from here to there/there to here...

I think the six hour estimate assumed you were driving with Miss Daisy :) RB powered rocket ships (and Evo's :P) should be able to do it much quicker than that :)

Justin, arghhh... traffic depending, it took me 4 hours to get to Suzuka during last year's F1 final but that wasn't taking the highway and there were heaps of traffic. But nice traffic...I pulled into a convenient store just a few kilometers from the circuit and there were a few F40s, 360, Lambos, Porkas also going to the race but stopping for a break. I managed to get some attention when a few French Rally fans came over and asked if I was a rally driver :):D:D (taking the back roads the car was very dirty and it rained heavily on the way over, not to mention my mate and I were in our F1 Malboro Racing shirts) ;)

Now in comparison if I took the highway heading to other places...it took me 3 hours to get to Hiroshima with light traffic, or 4 hours to get to Takatsu Snowfield North of Gifu or North to Japan sea - Amanohashi 2.5 hours. By right you should be able to get to Tokyo in 6 hours but not with Japan's traffic...10 hours more like it, but where Dave lives I think it is still quite rural...I still say 4 hours including short breaks or 3 hours nonstop.

Dave, are you talking about that interchange North of Nagoya/South of Gifu? If you take the wrong lane/turn you end up doing a big loop.

looks like my engine bay. (including the APEXi pod) - are you going to box that up?
Evo_Lee has boxed his air cleaner up quite well, with a new "SuperAutobacs super induction air feed suction pipe"... and seeing as me and him are unofficially competing with each other with mods (he's leading - trust me ;)) I might just try and box it up and put a cold air feed in too.

Justin, if I still had the factory airbox like you do, I would have converted it to enclose the pod.

The one I have now is a WRC airbox, but look through the books I passed to you...I'm sure you should be able to find some airboxes in there.

Are we competing...I maybe leading but your car is still lighter, more so when your carbon bonnet goes on...yikes!

come on Dave, you've secretly got a turbo hiding under there right?

plus don't you have a set of TE37, reduced unsprung weight!...if you take out the spare wheel, jack, rear cardboard, carpets, babyseat etc you should be able to run against Justin...would certainly be an interesting test too ;)

hehehe, the only way I'll have a "turbo" under the bonnet of my GT-V (anytime soon) is if I borrow the wife's hairdryer and duct tape it in the engine bay :D :D :D

I dunno - stock 200PS RB25DE GT-V Vs slightly modded RB20DET GTSt????

...the GT-V is slightly heavier than a 25GT (due to the extra GTT parts)...I've wanted TE-37's for a long time, but a set of Work Emotions came my way and I couldn't say no. Isn't the R32 GTSt lighter than the R34's anyway?

Nah, a few mods to a the RB20DET and Justin will leave me for dust ;) Still, be an interesting race though :D

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?

      R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

      By r32-25t · Posted

      I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again

      Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!

      curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
