Kris, you are not far off mate. and I think Nick meant everything minus:

food

parts

beer

parts

camera

parts

basically 3 grand will get you:

plane ticket, cheap accomodation, 4 day rail pass and travel insurance.

that's it. how much extra cash you will need will depend on what you want to do. but even if you are not going to buy anything I would suggest you will need $100 AUD per day just to get around, eat, and do stuff.

Dont forget to allow 10,000 yen or so for fraudulent vending machines that rip you off - theiving asahi vending bastards.

Just so you know im flying out this Saturday... I'll post my Japan cell phone number if you need to make last minute requests!

I'll keep my eye out for those dodgy Kirin machines - Asahi is better anyway.

I'm also doing the Sapporo all you can drink factory tour this time :)

Kris, do us proud mate. sink a few kettles for me.

Would be awesome to see Japan at this time of year, but I can't say no to TAS.. can't they hold it in spring or summer just once???

Daikoku is in central Tokyo? Easy enough to get there?

I have booked my holiday to Japan around the weekend of the Tokyo Auto Salon 2006.

Can't wait! From what you guys have said, looks like I have budgeted about right too so thats good to know.

Daikoku parking is in Yokohama. not easy to get to unless you have a car, and a local to drive it there. taxi may get you there but it won't be cheap. no train access, no walking access. car only.

There will be plenty of us there for TAS 2006 once again.

Daikoku is easy if you have a car or better yet, are being driven by a friendly parts shop owner in his modified Aristo :)

Looks like Im gonna have to find a shop owner with a modified Aristo then :-p

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
