Hello... I've got bearly a week and a half left in Japan and I thought I might post up some real random stuff I've got pics from... nothing special but they may be of interest to some who might be REALLY bored at work/home whatever...

My wife ordered some carboard boxes (called 'Dan-boh-ru' in Japanese...) and there was this 'Power Builder Bee Racing' piece of card under the plastic straps to protect the boxes from ripping etc... of all the places...

A pic of the Moon and Venus at dusk in Ashiya, I took it a few days ago. Thats only a 3x zoom with a Canon IXY 500.

I went to the Nanko street drifting a few weeks back and took this pic of SAU member 'Gojira's car... the R32 is at the back (no I didn't have a go at drifting).

Japanese holiday 'Obon' fireworks on the Yodo river in Osaka. About 2 million people were along the river and surronding areas to watch that night. Taken about 3 weeks ago.

If you've been to Japan and you don't know Ka-ru Ojisan, you should be sent to bed without dinner! :lol:

Random Umeda (Osaka) streetscapes...

At first I thought C-West had gone under, but they're just refurbishing their Nishinomiya Service Garage.

If you ever wondered what a SuperAutobacs garage looks like, well here it is... with my Silvia getting the front coilovers changed and big camber dialled in (and white AVS VS-6 wheels put back on)...

... went out into the parking lot while waiting and saw this:

My missus got a new laptop:

I noticed that Japanese laptops have 'Characters' floating around the screen... you have to look after them. This one is called 'Para-chan' an it's a baby seal (boy).

Here he's asking: "Have you been using the Schedule function?"

Thats all for now :P

Some pics of Sakura (cherry blossoms) I took earlier in the year around April or so. They only bloom like this (in this area - the blooming starts from Kyushu then moves north up throughuot Japan) for a week or two then look just like normal trees for the rest of the year...

This is Itami Airport, Osakas northern Domestic terminal. Actually, it was Osakas old International terminal before Kansai International was built 10 years or so ago.

Some driving shots, going down Route 43 (night) and Hanshin Kousoku Wangan-sen (Hanshin Bayside Expressway). It's not always that empty, but between speed camera locations you can average 150 - 180km/h (damn speed limiter!) if it's quiet.

wtf kind of parking is that in the last sakura picture?

It a really old corner house, maybe 60+ years old, and thats the only space for a car on the 'block'... I say block but the whole house would be on a pad of say 8m x 10m

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
