Ahh right, oh well, sh*t has been booked and paid for already....

looks like we will be spending alot of time on the trains then  <_< 

Whats the entry fee for TAS roughly?

Roughly between 2000 and 3000yen per day.

But you could probaly get in without paying.

If you guys want the tip, we were able to get free internet access via a tonne of wireless hotspots that were visible from our hotel due to the communications building over the road.

If you want good accomodation at the right price, 10 mins to TAS, a walk to Upgrage and 15 mins from Crystal and Top Secret, try this place.

hey hey,

that url, is there an english version? I have booked my flight , leaving bris on the 12th. And i was thinking of staying at the Mecure which works out to about $180/room for 2 ppl. How much is the place you posted?

they are a convenience store chain in japan. like 7 eleven etc. They are everywhere. best way to get your tickets and get in no worries is to buy in advance from there. They were i think 1500 or 1800 yen this year.

  • 3 weeks later...

are you coming out for it monkey boy? :)

if so i wouldn't mind meeting up with you again. Nick and I will be there. I don't know how keen i am on standing outside in the cold for others again. i think i learnt my lesson last time.

i see you have bought a 32 GTST? good man, tell us about it.

Im not organising another public SAU meetup either - Richard and I stood around for close on an hour waiting for you bastards that didnt show in the freezing cold.

Circus Monkey: Pm me to organise to meet with Richard and I and we will work something out.

couldn't have expressed it better myself! :)

you guys will be fine without nick and I. Lawsons are in heaps of places like 7-11, but you can just buy your tickets at TAS. I think it's only a 500 yen saving anyway.

as for the parts shops, your best bet is to buy an option magazine. find a shop in your area that you want to go to. take it to the hotel reception and they will write out some insructions for you - like which station to get off at etc. That is what we have done before and it works like a charm :) I don't know if i want to go in a group cause if there is a set of turbos i want to buy, and nick wants to buy, and two other people want to buy it may get ugly! lol. rock paper scissors is never pretty when i loose :)

have fun boys, and just be wary of the vending machines in back alleys, they can be a little rough.

yup, we will be executing some wicked payback that's for sure. I've been working out twice a day in perparation. ok well maybe not, but i have been getting drunk and bitching about it, and talking myself up. that is a start.

Yep, I will be there for the weekend in some form. :D

Just a standard R32 GTST(project car). I mean you can pick them up for pocket money now.

That asshole vending machine nears toys 'r' us is going down this year Baron

Did the vending machine abuse the two of you in some way? :(

good man on the GTST. i looove 32 GTST. such a great car. cheap, light nice to drive. they are basically like a silvia only better.

Yeah, the vending machine robbed me, then put a beat down on nick and broke his watch. i never expected to witness that kind of violence in japan :D

It is a good car, but i feel the DC2 gives more raw feedback, driving it.

So your scared for life by the vending machine? :D:(

    • 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. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
