G'Day all,

There is a Jap performance parts importer in Adelaide called Bossandi that tried to organise a tour to Japan in Sept this year for the Motegi round of the GT championship. Not many people went but the business owner said it was fantastic. The tour cost was $2950 I think and included extra stuff, such as off-street and on-street drags/drift, visits to speed shops to buy etc.

Let me know who would be genuinely keen on going to one next year (please no half-arsed shows of interest) and I'll get back to the bloke with numbers.

There is a round each year in Malaysia in June that would be cheaper for sure, but wouldn't have the other Jap specific stuff. I have made phone contact with the guy in Malaysia that co-ordinates the teams accomodation and transport and he is keen to work something out for a few Aussies. For example staying in the same hotel as the GTR teams!

I'd be keen on either Japan or Malaysia.

Cheers,

Freebaggin.

Myself and a fellow work colleague were quite interested in this last year!

I would rather Japan i don't really want to go to Malayasia at the moment.

As you said if more numbers wanted to go it would be HEAPS of fun!!!!!

$3000 aint too bad but the problem was for us Perth Boys we had to travel to Sydney 1st then go on the trip...about an extra $800!!! if anything can be sorted out there then i would be intereested. Unfortunately i have to keep the budget down to $3000 if i was to go on such a trip.

Just to let you guys know i think the one last year practicaly EVERYHTHING was included in the price! looked like great value! unless you were from perth!:)

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
