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

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
