NYTSKY

Good news.My car might be out of the shop by the weekend.Hooray! Have to put some bits and pieces back on it though(Jeff) as i thought the car wasnt coming back.I also had a visit from a courier today who brought me a BIG box of goodies.

I too spent alot of cash at Top Secret and HKS.Did you play that little game HKS had in the corner? I won a HKS lanyard hooray for me lol

Go to one of your local exhaust shops and get a dump pipe made,have the screamer come off that.They dont really sound that good an the stock internal gate turbo though.

Every place i went to,to get parts for my car,they just say "ECR33 not popular,dont stock" lol Ill be doing alot of playing with my car when i get it back.Motor out,build,new turbo kit.Its all happening!

No probs Jeff.Im sitting in the lounge at Osaka airport,they think im some businessman so are allowing me to use their computers and giving me all the food and drink i can take lol Cant wait to get back to C'town(i cant believe i just said that)lol I want my 33 back! Seeing all the jap spec skylines are giving me some cool ideas.

Well,im sitting in the lounge at Osaka airport,and mate what a trip ive had.The best time of my life so far.Seen so many unbelievable things and been to some amazing places.I will be coming back next year for the TAS no doubt about it. I will be adding to my SAU blog very soon with all my cool stories and pics so have a look. CHEERS

I might come along.Seeing how my car is in the shop and Jeff has dropped a turbo,ill be bringing the proton. Ill bring some TAS footage. Also im selling some stickers if anyone is interested.I went abit crazy at various tuning shops and bought alot of stickers! I have TopSecret,Mines,Nismo,HKS,URAS and other bits and pieces including a Greddy oil cap,TopSecret keychain,Mines keychain and Nismo radiator cap. Prices start from $10-$30 for stickers Greddy oil cap $65 TopSecret keychain $20 Mines keychain $30 Nismo Radiator cap $70 See ya there.

Hi mate its good to see i wasnt the only one who got a kick out of the jap toilets! I love the heated seat.

Got a pic? They both do body parts but have to be ordered. This is Crystals website.You need to translate it to english though. www.c-jpn.com

Went to Top Secret and Super Autobacs today. Top Secret was cool went in to see if they had any stuff for my car,they dont stock many parts and the ones they do stock are ridiculously expensive,the stickers i bought came to 125 bux! got some good footage of the cars outside,wasnt allowed to film inside,but i sneaked a shot of a couple of cars that where parked just inside. Autobacs was a bit of a let down,Crystal is WAY better,i only bought 2 Nismo radiator caps and a Nismo oil cap at autobacs.Which was good because i was preparing for my wallet to get a abit of a canning.Im still keen on bringing back a greddy plenum or a 1.5LSD so if anyone knows another Crystal somewhere let me know,and maybe they will have them in stock.

Ah man! So all the good stuff was today???! bugger! We are still going to fuji tomorrow though. Today we went to the Nissan motor show and the big Nissan dealer around the corner.Man it was sweet,i love the GTR in red with the dark shadow wheels.3 other cars caught out eyes which was the fuga,cima and elgrand.Very nice indeed.While i was looking at some of the concept cars on display one of the 8 absolutely stunning Nissan girls came up to me and had a chat(i did notice that all the girls were exactly the same height)i told her that we were from oz and i was loving the GTR she kindly asked me to wait by the desk while she went and got me some brochures and a GTR DVD! After that we were off the Chiba for crystal and upgarage.Crystal was absolutely amazing i was in the process of buying a Nizmo GT LSD but the guy said the one i had was a 2 way and they did not have the 1.5 way i was after(spewing!) I asked if any of the brands they stocked had a 1.5 way for my car and he said no!! I was almost in tears as they were really cheap! After wandering around for a while i picked up a Greddy catch can,Greddy oil cap,Nismo clear winkers and a crap load of stickers.At upgarage i was looking for 34 GTR wheels but they didnt have any! There was a HKS 2835 on the shelf which i was very tempted at buying. If anyone has been to super autobacs,could they tell me if they know the price of a Tomei Trax,Cusco or Nismo 1.5 way LSD??? Would like to leave Japan with one

Guess im not goin to Nismo today as ive just found out it will be closed,so im off to Ginza then Chiba.

Is that 112mins full travel time? Or 112mins on shinkansen?

i assume so

Its easy to get to by train,just follow the instructions in the link i just posted.

Omori,one of the must do things.

Having a GTR day tomorrow! We are going to the Nismo factory then to Ginza.

Thanks Dr1ft.jp! Can i take the shinkansen anywhere near Fuji as i took photos of it as i past it on the way in to Tokyo. Or could you please guide us once again there will be a few of us going.

Unfortunately we didnt end up going to Honjo,i spent too much time trying to find out where it was.By the time i had finished looking it would have been a waste.So we ended up at Akihabara which honestly was a bit of a let down.If you are into PCs then this is your place.There were to many of the same shops selling the same stuff.My goal was finding a Yokomo RC D1 car.After hours looking for a good RC shop we stumbled into a model shop,we asked the guys behind the counter if they had them,they said no but got online and printed directions to RC central which 2 or so streets away.At RC Central i picked ofcoarse Nomurakens 34 my mate picked Kazamas S15.I also picked up a set of Work 57s for it. Den-Den town in Osaka was far better,bigger and had alot of variety.I suggest it if anyone is down in Osaka.

Seeing how its a public holiday here today,will shops like Crystal,Upgarage,Nismo,Autobacs be open???

Where is the Honjo drift circuit???! Was just about to head out the but found there are 4 Honjos.1 in f*kuoka,1 in saitama ect. Just dont want to sit on a train for 2 hrs and finding out its the wrong place when i get there.

I bought the ones with D1-GP on them

No it wasnt,but it was funny to see two 35s with same .35 number plates,except they were different prefectures i think.

Dammit i did see that car there,took a pic of the 35s,34 and the hachi parked next to each other if id known it was was you chris i would have come and said hi.Ah well,its sounds like you had a great experience.
