Hey all,

Curius to see how many of you guys in Japan ride your bikes around the scenic routs in japan ? I'm a bit of a fan of fitness and I think riding your bike around Japan is a great way of seeing the beautiful country. do many of you experience this ?

found an awesome webpage http://www.kancycling.com/Destinations/Des...stinations.html

with routes and destinations for bike riding.

I don't but I have been riding to work for the past 5years...something I probably wouldn't do in Aust, so I think it's great. I prefer to take drives and have seen some very beautiful country, then when I arrive take out my foldup bicycle for a ride around the area.

But I have 3 mates who do cycling around the Kansai, Chugoku and Shikoku regions during the holidays...in fact you tend to meet other foriegners cycling around too. A mate met his canadian wife this way ;)

I'm the opposite - since moving to Japan I hardly ever use my bicycle. It's way too hot and humid in the summer and in the winter too cold and windy. But if you don't mind the weather and the hard work involved in cycling up/down numerous mountains, then a bicycle is a great way to see rural Japan...

Hehehe - got to wonder how many bikes are stolen each year by drunk salary men, who aint got a clue which bike is theirs after one too many drinks...

I've seen on two occassions guys smashing the hell out of a bicycle lock outside an izakaya only to realize later they were trying to unlock the wrong bicycle! :P:) :)

Yeah, but it is weird - in a country where crime is very low, bicycles are stolen all the time...

    • Infiniti US are teasing a manual Q50 as a way to refresh a (very old) model. https://torquecafe.com/manual-performance-sedans-arent-dead-yet/ Can't be too technically difficult given the Z has the same motor with a manual gearbox......here's hoping there is a JDM version we can import here, that would save me a world of headaches
    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps
