First off, let me apologise to Rezz and the team, but I would prefer to post this here an not in the classifieds, as I would prefer that someone who is actually travelling to Japan in the recent future (read: this year.) to get this great book. If you would prefer to move the thread to another forum, then please feel free to, I just thought it would be nice to give it to some one from in here. :P:)

Okay here is the deal, first person to PM me, gets this book, it is the latest release of the Lonely Plant Guide to Japan 9th Edition, which can be seen HERE

I have two copies of this book, don't ask how please, just accept it, this one is brand new, I haven't even opened it. I don't really need two copies, so I thought I would give away this other copy to someone else that can use it.. If you are not planning a trip to Japan, then please don't ask for it, rather let someone who is going get it, so that they ca use it. I won't ask for proof, I am trusting the honesty of anyone who contacts me. :D

I will send it free of charge, no insurance, no express, just regular mail to anywhere in Australia. I will send it in the same packaging that it was sent to me in from a large Australian book chain. I am trying to doing the nice thing here, so if it gets lost or slightly damaged in the post or anything else for that matter, please be mindful that no money is changing hands. :D The book will be sent on Friday, not earlier, this is the only day that I can get to the post office, this is one of my conditons, if this is a problem, then please buy a full copy.

Also, please don't get annoyed if you miss out. :happy:

Just so there is no confusion, this is how I got two copies. One night I thought about buying a copy adn couldn't onto the LoenlyPlanet website cos it was down, so I went and ordered one through Angus and Robertson (mistake number one) then after about a week or so, they emailed me to say that the book hadn't been printed yet and they had no idea when it would be printed. So, I thought I would cancel the order, which I tried and sort of successfully did.. I then got onot the Lonely Planet website and bought this book and a few others, The Japanes Phrasebook and Best of Tokyo, they all got sent out to me and I ahve been reading them... Then I get an email from Angus and Robertson, saying that my order had been shipped.. WTF? I thought I cancelled it.. Soo.... I now have two copies.. Hence trying to get rid of my excess..

Sounds stupid doesn't it?? My misfortune might as well be some one elses fortune..

Thanks guys..

Book is now gone.. Well it will be once I get the address of the new recipient..

I like it a lot, it has a lot of good information, not complete, but enough to get by and definitely enought to start planning.. I prefer to reasearch th internet myself, but this book, amongst others is encouraging me to go to other places..

Looks my trip just extended by another 4 or 5 days, going to do a bit up in Haikaido now as well.. 4 weeks will be my limit I think.. I will probably want to come home by then..

I think that I need to book my trip really soon, every time I do some research, I find somewhere else to go and more things to see, I really need to book that trip so that I am locked in and can't plan more stuff..

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
