So for the next 4 days I worked at the machine shop. Polishing, grinding, cleaning and stuff. I didnt take any photos of inside the machine shop, because it was just that.... aload of machines, in a shop. Not as fun as Auto Mechanic, but still a good learning experience, and will look good on my CV :D hehe.

Time to leave Japan, and one last pic.

The place was great, the work was great, the people were great and the food was...... the place was great.

I WILL be going back. For a longer time deffinately.

Good work mate. Well done, sounds like you had a great time that you'll remember for many years to come. That Supra ride is not something many people have experienced, lucky fellow.

Oh yeah the presents! Fot The man of the house, some brushed alu Union Jack cufflinks, for the lady, an English silver rose with amber flower thingy broach. And I didnt have anything shiney for his son, so I bought a Norton motorcycles zippo with a Union Jack in the background from a department store. And I got a few token things - cup, books, calender, olde english style tin of caremels and mint cake.

Seemed to go down fairly well with them anyway :D

Thanks for the comments guys, it was the most awesome thing I could imagine.

Thanks for the writeup ;)

Its very funny to see a Brit complaing about food considering what they call food in the motherland :D

LW.

Haha, Brit food is pretty pethetic. But fish (cooked fish) and chips is so simple, theres not much you can complain about. And the bacon is by far the best bacon you can get :aroused:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
