I just realized, theres never been any mention of earthquakes in the Japan forum...

Well, the Kansai area and most of western Japan got hit by 2, yes 2 earthquakes tonight:

My area and dare I say Troys area too got hit by a level 3 or 4, while Mie (where I used to live) got hit by a level 5 intensity on the Japanese Omori scale.

What made tonight interesting was that we had 2 quakes, both within 2 hours of each other, both the same intensity, and both lasting at least 15 - 20 seconds (in Hyogo). Usaually a larger one is folowed up by aftershocks of a lower intensity... but then again I'm no goelogist so this might not be so uncommon, I don't know.

Tidal wave warnings are in effect from Tokyo right across to Shikoku, with the main focus on the Mie prefecture area (where the epicenter was, some way off the coast).

Anyways, thats enough action for one night, I'm off to bed.

I was in saitama tonite and felt a very small quake around 6:30pm

They have been happening on and off a fair bit recently in tokyo..

last week i was on the 7th floor at my school and one hit.

Maybe someone should post up some info regarding the great kansai prediction... similar but more power than the Kobe earthquake... that is expected to hit sometime soon. and destroy 6 million out of the 6.6million structures in the area.

Just got woken up by another one... this is getting a little freaky now, as there is a typhoon coming our way later on this afternoon too, and as you can see the epicenter is in almost the exact same place...

This time the highest magnitude was 4 in Mie (again), and we acyually felt a level 3. It only lasted for 5 - 10 seconds, but still, in my time in Japan this is the first time I felt 3 quakes within days of each other... something must be brewing underground?

Damnit... Japan will be destroyed before I get over there. :P
Hehehe, you know, sometimes I think Japanese people want Japan to be destroyed, just so they can start over again...:headspin:

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
