Typhoon...in Japan...when did that happen? :D:rofl:

Seriously...when I used to live down in the valley flooding was a regular occurrence, especially around September...a couple of times I recall having 30cm of water in the street outside my place, though fortunately my apartment and parking area were raised slightly above street level...

now I'm out of the valley, on the hillside over looking the city, and I don't have to worry about flooding. Though it does get mighty windy around here at times...

incidently...buyers of used cars from Japan should beware....I've seen a couple of cars for sale at what seemed like bargain prices, until I asked why and I got the reluctant reply they'd been in a flood.

ahh that would explain the grass and toadtstools growing under my seats :rofl:

arent typhoons and earthquakes commonplace in japan? you hear on the news at least a few times a year about earth tremors in japan. It must be something that you get used to.

A lot depends on where in Japan you're living. Usually a typhoon up near Tokyo/Yamanashi means little more than heavy rain and a bit of wind, but in southern parts, kyushu etc it's got to be more severe - read in this morning paper 16 people died as a result of Typhoon 21...

I spoke to a friend based in Nagoya this morning, he mentioned they have had bad weather there........he actually called it a Typhoon. His area was not hit to badly.........

Has anyone here been affected badly by this?

Hope all is well

If u type in Tropical Storm Risk at googles search, click on the second link. It tracks storms all over the world. Typhoon 23 has just spun up and is heading towards okinawa. Watch out. Cat 5 prediction.

First sign of a typhoon and my skyline gets wrapped up tight - car covers, ground sheets - all tied down, tucked nicely into the garage out of the rain :)

Well, this morning the rain has stopped and like a giant hairdryer, the wind is doing it's best to blow dry the landscape. On windy days like this, I'm glad I've got a full head of hair - a toupee in the weather is not recommended :D

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
