Hey Guys,

I'm most likely goign to be in Japan around the time of the f*kuoka Auto Salon..i'll have to stay a couple of extra days and i was just wondering if you guys knew anything more about it???

Like is the auto salon there worth it????

Would it maybe be more worth while goign early and going to TAS instead of FAS?

Cheers,

Duncan.

Yeah theres always some tuff cars at Fu_kuoka AS, but it's definately not on the same scale as Tkyo, and even Osaka is bigger. I'd go to Fu_kuoka for sightseeing first - Auto salon second. I'd go to Tokyo for the Salon first - sightseeing second...

I reckon 2 full days is needed to do TAS. and you still want see all of it. this year we spent 2 full days there and there were some halls we didn't even get into!

i think 1 day is plenty. Last year I was there just for one morning. I guess it depends how many photos you want to take... waiting for people to get out of the way who are waiting for others who are waiting for others to get out of the way to take a photo of what you want to take a photo of can take a while...

on another note did anyone go to the awesome dog show at makuhari late last year ? :P

yea i think it would be awsome but i have always wanted to go but i also ask myself is it worth it i am not intersted if some asian can put 22 tvs in their dash ....?

but on the other hand if i can buy car parts their cheaper does anyone know if you can buy parts at the show...

Yes you can, though generally its smaller parts only, not alot of engine hardware.

There is bling there, sure - but there is also one of the biggest collections of incredibly modified street, drag and drift cars you will ever see.

so whats the deal with the tokyo motor show coming up on 22nd? is this just new cars on display? worth going to? deciding whether to check that out or party in osaka this weekend.

You decide:

Gtr next gen vs girls/party.

The TMS is probaly packed with people in the weekend.

  • 2 weeks later...

Michael, I can help - Richard and I will be there for two weeks across the time of Autosalon and so will a few others.

We will be quite busy with parts sourcing, workshop visits, drinking and hopefully some more drifting :)

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
