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

    • 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.
