Hi,

Coming to Japan on 1st Feb, Mainly to go snowboarding in Niseko... so one quick easy q... will my Samsung E700 work over there (obv has int roaming on)?

Other q is, when snowboarding me and my bro carry UHF's, in Aus there is 40 licence free chans ranging from 476.400MHz-477.400MHz. Will transmitting on these chans in Japan get us into any trouble? IE: are any of these frequencies reserved for emergancy services or signalling? (Have no idea where to find this info!)

Thanks,

Ed. ;)

Phones in japan use a different network than our cheap shitty one.

network wise australia has a fairly good coverage.... often here in japan i cant get reception due to many many black spots. It could just be my poor FOMA (video phone) .. (which will be upgrade in april)

the point im trying to get at is at the moment with my phone i was happier with australias network coverage

We've used australian cb's in japan a bit - climbing fuji, at the jgtc etc - however I've no idea whether we were allowed to or not. There wasn't any traffic on the frequencies however that could simply mean there were a whole lot of confused ambo drivers. I guess the thing to keep in mind is that if you are going to get in trouble for using them it's not going to be hard for them to figure out who it is.

re the phones, in japan it's w-cdma. The first phone I've seen available in aus (there are a few in japan) which can handle w-cdma and gsm is the nokia 6630 which is either just released or about to be released. Getting it to work in japan is the next challenge, vodaphone would probably be the best people to speak to.

On a similar topic:

A couple of mates are going snowboarding next week in Sapporo and will have a few days in town during some sort of winter festival. They want to know if there are any motorsport events or tuning houses' that would be worth a visit while they are there.

Any info much appreciated

Thank you

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
