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!

Ok...everyone. Dont worry bout my back. I have taken appropriate action at work, and seen the doctor.

His advice WAS to lay on the floor because it does help :D

And it does work for me.....

So, anyone got any pics, or links to show me what i should be lookin for??

Any help would be grealty appreciated ;)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
