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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
