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

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
