Veilside is out towards Tsukuba City/Ibaraki Prefecture 15min with taxi from city center.

Quite an amazing place with a italian resturant inside.

I should post some more pics later from Veilside with more close ups of the R32/34.

Christian thats more like it!!! Fantasic night shots mate :D

Thanks

A question for you Rezz or other on the board.I`ve read and heard from guidebooks and people say that Osaka is much like Tokyo ,but without the hype/(Osaka down to earth).

Is that the truth? :D

Well... the first thing I noticed about Tokyo was that it had WAY more money spent on infrastructure during the bubble economy years... and along with that the government is there, National headquarters are there etc so it's like Tokyo is *it* as far as most people are concerned. Over here in Osaka though... it's a little smaller than Tokyo, I guess it feels like it's more 'Japanese style' big city, whereas Tokyo is more 'international style' big city. Having said that, I've heard alot over the years that fashion trends actually start in Osaka... then the so called 'best' of those fashion trends make there way over to Tokyo Ginza whatever. But yeah, Osaka is more 'down to earth' and 'rough' I guess...

awsome pics.....but where are the promo girls:D:D

on my trip to japan, i pretty much thing the same as rezz does about tokyo and osaka. tokyo is definitly an international city, too many local/tourist foreigners lol. osaka's my choice as the people there are definitly more "down to earth". that said id go back to tokyo again for sure. would have liked to have visited kobe, maybe next time:D

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • 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
