Hi all,

I thought it was time to throw a thread up to see who is planning on attending TAS 06'?

I will be over there with Beer Baron and RBNT by the looks of it

Organising an SAU meet at TAS is a waste of time from my past experience but if a number of people are around at that time then a night on the town could be in order.

yeah i'm not too keen on organising any big group meet ups etc. But i guess i could be up for a dinner one night or something like that?

EDIT: TAS will be so very sweet. can't wait.

I want to go this year also,but is it worth it?

I got the feeling this year that the tuning part of the show is going down.Becomes more show and shine.

Same old democars being shown

DCD probaly have some input on the state of tuners etc?

I asked myself the same question 2 years ago...

IMO once you've seen one R34 GT-R with widebody kit, 20x13" wheels, 1200hp engine, carbon everything and 3 half naked J-girls crawling over it... you've seen it all :D

In fact, the standard of the rest of the world (EU, US, AU and more or less Canada, UAE and NZ) has caught up so much in the last 3 years that I believe that the Japanese are finding it harder and harder to stand out... it's not 1996 anymore...

I honestly believe the old days of Japan hype and all that goes with it will come to an ABRUPT END when 3 Fast 3 Furious is released, and a new generation of 16 year old American kids make it totally uncool to like anything about Japan. It's over.

LOL :lol:

that is not so expensive if it includes airfare, taxes, travel insurance, rail pass, accomodation. if it doesn't include all of those things then it's possibly just a tad pricey.

that includes everything, i thought it was a reasonable package.

includes accomodation in a 3.5 star hotel too.

Where are you staying Richard/Nick same as Tas05?

If I go this year I am not staying in central Tokyo.

Took a bloody hour+ to get to Makuhari and tuners in January.

yeah mate, we will be in the same spot as last year for the TAS portion of our trip, and staying in Tokyo for the rest. :)

I dunno... car shows are errrm car shows.

If you ask me cars are meant to be driven and seeing all these cool cars just sitting there doing bugger all is as bad as a hot stripper you cant f*ck.

Maybe Im missing the point but I think track days/comps are where its at :)

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
