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 used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
