Howdy...

First off im not being a stereotypical English...just thought id ask, cos i dont think its been mentioned before :(

I have a bad back from work somedays, and i find lying on the floor helps a lot.

My bed has seen better days, and combined with the fact ive outgrown it long ago, i need a new one.

I thought id ask the guys living in Japan...Do you guys sleep in the traditional "roll it out on the floor style matress" bed??

Sorry if im way off here, but im really serious about finiding some information on the traditional Japanese bedding style. My back really does get bad, and i think if i started sleeping on the floor it would help me a lot...

Which ones of you guys said stuff it, i like my beds and i aint givin it up? :)

Any info on what makes up the traditional bedding etc would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks again in advance :P

And heres me thinking you were gonna ask about Japanese ladies "sleeping habits"... hehehe.

I'm western style double queen size all the way... I used to sleep on a futon for the first 2 years I was here though, I didn't like it at all... no good for "certain" "positions" right guv, seen?

Same as Rezz - futon on Tatami mat floors for the first two years, then the luxury of a proper bed since then. Got to admit I don't find anything wrong with futons, it's just that I'm so lazy I can't be bothered pulling out the cupboard and nite, then packing them away the next morning...:rolleyes:

Been sleeping on a futon since I got here, my back is really screwed up and it's pretty much the only thing I can sleep on these days. It's the same reason I put a nice stiff Recaro in the car, the factory R33 seats were killing my back on long trips.

So where can I get one of these in Japan?
you probably cant get one dude. as it is only available in australia BUT trust me man I run a bedding shop in adelaide australia and man you NEED a good Bed, dont buy something too hard make sure you get a COMFORTABLE BED and if soft is comfortable go for it. ONLY you can tell what is comfortable.

yes...i do think about it....and i have taken appropriate action.

i need a new bed anyway, cos ive outgrown my last one (had it for at least 10 years now) and i need a stiff mattress...

Had a posturepedic...but it feels good when im on the floor...hence this topic....

Now if i could only find a Traditional Japanese Futon maker in Adelaide.....

I just sleep on the desk ing the shop most night... but other then that i had the futon and then a double and a water bed and not a standard.. I guess that it really does not matter what media that you sleep on. i still wake up sore from a drifting the night before! getting old sucks so unless you sleep in your pool then i think you aught to see a doc on that back thing!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By hoodedreeper · Posted

      Here's a boring history lesson on number plates People want illegal spacing to make their plate more readable, if mine was J2X BK, anyone who knows about the car would see that its spelling JZX. Years ago third party plate manufacturers could alter the text to make it look like something else, nowadays the computer software is locks that ability (well, ours does at work) Up until 2001 the first letter of a number plate represented the year of the vehicle, for example A would be 1983. (pre 1983, the format was backwards, so the year letter was on the end). Followed by 3 random numbers and 3 random letters. Things started to get complicated at the end of the 90s where T and V were 1999, W and X were 2000 and Y was early 2001. From 2001 they introduced a new 'layout' where the first two characters are letters, this represented where that vehicle was first registered in the country. The letters corrosponded to a region in the country. Some regions had a large number of codes, where as some only had a couple (despite being large in physical land size) Next are 2 numbers to indicate 2000s. So it went from: Y (March 1999 > Aug 2000) 51 (Sept 2001 > Feb 2002) 02 (March 2002 > Aug 2002) 52 (Sept 2002 > Feb 2003) etc etc When the 2010s got here, the numbers changed again, going up by tens 10 (March 2010 > Aug 2010) 60 (Sept 2010 > Feb 2011) When the 2020s arrived it went to 20 (March 2020 > Aug 2020) 70 (Sept 2020 > Feb 2021) etc As for personalised plates, you're not allowed a registration that makes the vehicle look newer. Take my 110 for example, its a 2004 car so I can have any available plate upto 04. I can't have a 54 because it was manufactured in August 2004. Which allows me to have a J plate, because its older (if that makes sense)

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.
