Doraemon88 thanks heaps thats an awesome amount of information i will enquire at our travel agent about getting to and from the airport in a less costly mannor

Catch the bus to TCAT (Tokyo City Air Terminal) (very reasonable price trip) and then you are on the central train network in the middle of town! Do the reverse coming home, as you can clear customs and get your boarding pass there instead of at the big queues at the airport!

It's one of those little secrets regular travelers know.. :-) (I've been there heaps..).

(hope you got this in time)

Ian unfortunaty only just got it now :] well i am at the Tokyo international airport on one of the yahoo free internet cafes.

Disclaimer: Spelling of places visited and in general will probably be very average so i appologise in advance

Had a great time in Tokyo went to i think it was the shinju shrine ??? i have pics so when i get back to aus i will upload some, then went to akibara which is very much seems to the electronic part of Tokyo, then to shibuya which i thought was the clothes place but it seemed just more of a general place with a bit of everything. (mates got some henti mags lol) we also went to a baseball game Giants vs Hawks which was awesome i would actually say this was one of the highlights of the trip the Tokyo dome is an awesome building plus outside is beautiful at night time has this massive roller coaster that goes over the tops of the buildings around it plus Ferris wheel and alot of richie rich cafe's. Yesterday we went to the Sumo wrestling @ Rygoku which was very unique and cool got some cool photo's and video. To finish the trip off we went to Shinjuku. We walked around for a while massive buildings here best part was some we couldn't see the tops of as the cloud was very low. Then went to an awesome traditional Japanese restraunt which we sat in like a little private room and had to take our shoes off etc was a great experience. Hopefully no greenies read this but they had sashimi whale so we gave that a burl i must say i don't know why the Japanese love it so much it's ok but nothing special. We then went for a walk around and some how managed to find the American pimp street lol well thats what we call it as we walked down this one road that was maybe 150m in total and every 20 meters a new american came up to us and offered us package deals with lady's lol we just kept walking but it was just funny as cause when we got rid of one another one would come along i think in total we had 7 guys come up to us lol...

anyways sorry about the spelling and general grammar but this keyboard is weird & i have no spell checker

good to see someone else not afraid to try the most delicious mammal in the sea... next time try whale karage its tastier than the sashimi.

yea we tried a bit of everything over there :P the other point that i should have made is OMG how clean is the place it makes no sense other than alot of respect and obediance i guess as we struggled to find bins anywhere. Also vending machines everywhere lol you cant go 100m in the city with out finding one hehe

Anyways good to see some people keeping an eye on this thread :ermm:

Sounds like you had fun. I cant remember if you said you were planning on leaving europe early to revisit tokyo, but i would advise against that, no matter how much fun you had...

Reason is: you can get to Tokyo for $1000 return (or thereabouts), and its not much hassle to do a 1 week journey next year or whatever. Planning a europe trip is much more expensive and bigger hassle. Make the most of your available leave-time to enjoy europe. Do Japan again next year...

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
