red park is closed as IG said. The other Skyline Museum, the Prince and Skyline musuem in Nagano, is still open. How you get there depends on which direction you're coming from. From the Tokyo area, take the Chuo expressway north, through Yamanashi as far as the Okaya Junction. Branch off, heading north towards Nigata and get off the expressway at the Okaya Interchange. The museum is a short (5 mins) drive from the exit. (on leaving the toll booths, take the first left. Next set of lights, turn right, drive up the hill, and it's on the left IIRC)

Their website is here

The "museum circuit" around Mt Fuji is worth a go - Kawaguchiko motor museum (general japanese cars going waaaaaaay back up to the present), Takamura Museum (a lot of american, boo, upstairs some rollers, ferraris etc), Gallery Arbath (Italian goodies, ferraris, alfas, lancias), Racing Palace (All racing cars including prince and nissan skylines through the years, f1 cars, jgtc cars, rally cars, all sorts of stuff really, well worth a vist), Gotemba sports car garden (predominantly ferraris). You do need to hire a car (quite cheap through tocco) and it's a nice spot to visit with great roads and some fun and games at night. In tokyo the toyota historic garage/museum is good and central to other stuff you'll likely be visiting in daiba. Honda have a good museum up at twin ring but that can be a bit of a pita to visit, you can "hire" a teg type r for a few laps though. Don't forget the nissan galleries in ginza as well, often they have some interesting exhibitions (sometimes they're pretty dull as well ;) )

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
