oh, and to continue with the pedantic corrections, akihabara is reffered to as "electric town" not electric city. :( man i am pedantic!

I'm 99% sure that the engrish translation on the akihabara train station signs said "electric city" when I was there (about 10 yrs ago now). God I loved that place.

PS. Not saying that it isn't actually refered to as "electric town", just that the signs themselves used city...

Have a look at the pic of the Jaguar and the truck.

Are those steel things with the green ends to prevent someone stealing the vehicle ?

Good idea if they are  :)

no that is a paying car park. you drive over them, then they raise up. to get them to lower again you have to pay. Any decent 4wd could just drive over them though.

lucien, maybe i am wrong, it has happend before, but i'm also pretty sure it's electric town. i'll be back there in about 6 weeks so i'll check it out :D

Probably changed in the last 10 years anyway ;)

I want to go to TAS :) *sob* *sniff*

im 100% sure your wrong. :)

Actually thats a big Pachinko parlour...

maybe he was talking about the big echo karaoke on the far left of the picture not actually the pachinko parlour :P

osaka's 'akihabara' is denden machi (and signposted in english as 'electric town').

I've never heard of this title being used for aki, and I've been there 2 or three times (which is not to say it isn't the case - I just haven't seen it).

anyway...

Hi guys,

Sorry it's taken so long to post new shots, just been so busy here.

OK lessee what we have here.

Been meaning to post these two up. Seems hotting up vans is quite popular here. Here are two examples from my recent travels.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
