At least 13 people have died and more than 700 have been injured in a series of earthquakes and aftershocks which shook northern Japan for several hours.

more details here

Not good news. Felt pretty bad here in Yamanashi - things were shaking around. Worst thing was I was sat at home, alone, watching TV. You suddenly start getting all these alerts flashing across the TV and if you don't read a lot of Kanji it's difficult to understand. Bit unnerving since for all I knew it was saying: This is the BIG one, get the hell out of your house!

But seriously, very bad news - my condolences go out to anyone who lost family...

typhoons....earthquakes....living it Japan has it's downsides :P

That's terrible news. Firstly, I hope all the SAU guys and their friends and family are ok. Secondly, does anyone have any info on what arreas in particular were badly hit? I currently have a car in storage (use the term losely) up north in Hokkaido (Sapporo to be precise) does anyone know the impact on this area?

Don't worry about it - there's bugger all damage outside niigata.  

I now appreciate the amount of flex in my house (and really understand why the japanese have never caught on to double brick!)

yeah, I had not much Japan geographical knowledge but I studdied the maps and can see that Niigata is towards the north west of Honshu (a long way from Sapporo lucky for me). Terrible destruction in Niigata though judging from the pics I've seen.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
