I must admit I certainly don't mind riding in an evo :P that would be excellent. if you send me a pm, i can get your details etc.

Nick (blitz) and I will be going back in January. Daikoku will be farking cold by then but it sure is worth a look. Last time was a crack up. there was a guy there with a set of turntables and a mixer on a table beside this van that was stuffed full of massive subs etc, then he had a beaten up silvia with jumper cables to give power to the van. it was quite the set-up. and people were just standing around dancing while he was cranking out the happy hardcore tunes. very funny stuff.

In case you needed more of an excuse to visit Daikoku/The Wangan :P

We stumbled across a photoshoot for the Cusco WRX and EVO in the area the freeway racers meet on the Wangan so with the perfect lighting I decided to grab some pics of my own

No space to work on your EVO at home? why not change your headlights on the Wangan freeway?

gday, if any of you boys are heading there soon, i'd love to hook up and see it too. don't live far from tokyo and have a car, aint no skyline but if you dont mind riding in an evo then i can give you a lift.

dude i would definately be interested, come January :-)

a mate and myself are heading over, would be great to catch up with some aussies and see a few local sites as well as the car scene.

PM me if you wouldnt mind showing us around a little and i can grab your details.

i guess this applies to all, not just dodgybrooks :D

the more help the merrier!

for your info if you want cheap accomodation have a look at hostels in yoyoji/harajuku or shijuku area cos it seems reasonable to sleep...

just google it and there are many choices

or otherwise business hotels are not too bad either...

or for the adventurous go to "managa kissa" a 24 hr manga/dvd/internet library!

maaaan i wish i can go with you guys as well....

We stay at a hotel in Chiba that is very reasonably priced also and walking distance to an Up Garage and 5 mins by monorail from some excellent parts shops not to mention 15 mins cab ride from Top Secret :thumbsup:

Sounds like Beer man and I will be seeing a few of you lads over there

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
