Seriously Wishbone, do a search with 'Japan Hotel sightseeing' (or something like that) and just scroll through the threads that come up... there must be at least 50 or so of the first 1000 that come up that have good info.

Pick up the exellent Lonely Planet Japan guide. There you will find what hotel etc.

All depends on budget.

For car stuff do a search in this section as Rezz says. Many threads on Top Secret, Autobacs and more.......

Yeah thats what I meant. I didn't mean search Google...

Wishbone I'm not being hostile, this exact same subject has been covered each month, every month for going on 3 years now. I'm sure you can find useful info on here with the search feature without having to get Japan members to type out everything again. On the other hand, if you have more specific questions then by all means fire away :P

I am personally taking some Sunrise Tours in the first part of my trip to get in as much as possible and get used to the place, then I am going out on my own for a while. I have found heaps of info on the internet, I have a few books, (had two Lonely Planet guides till recently.)

Japan would ahve to be one of the best places to visit for information on the internet, outside of maybe the states.. So start searching, translating pages and just researching.. I have been researching flat out for a few months now and I am making my bookings this week..

      Thanks Komdotkom, I would take you up on that offer, but the cost of shipping to NZ would be horrible.

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      So what I hear from Rob and Mark is, Matt needs to stay the hell away from your places when you choose to do cleanups, for fear my hoarding will get worse, as Ill likely find things to suit some of the projects I want to build... As for ditching stuff like Mark does, I wish I could do it so easily mate, but lots of my spares are for the R33 and I'm slightly attached to them...   However, I was staring at the pile of subs, 2 for the car, 2 for a home audio system and thinking I'll likely just ditch those... That's. A lot of space back...   I must hurry up and finish the Subaru, and then the skyline... That's probably get some space back...   But my main take away is, other than big plastic tubs, and some sort of categorising what you have in each, no one has found a good solution, that takes up the minimal amount of space possible?   And Rob, I've been wanting a mezzanine, and have been tempted to put one in, but I'm borderline not enough height, and secondly, I hate heights! (No good spot for stairs, so it'd either be fold up stairs, or a ladder, of which I hate ladders and can't carry the bigger stuff up).

      By The Bogan · Posted

      If they are a standard parts that have been replaced with a new, or better part, they mainly go in the recycling bin at home if there's room, or into the metal or big rubbish bin at work Saying this, I have gifted or sold some random stuff over the years, but, if they don't sell, or aren't given away within a month or so, they hit the bin I use to keep everything, to give away when I sold a car or bike, but typically people didn't want the parts, and the garage, shed, and other storage areas would fill up with parts, that got old and keeping stuff for the sake of keeping stuff was not the best use of space I do still have a big box full of all sorts of nuts, bolts, washers and brackets though, which come in handy... "every few years" and typically only for other peoples projects

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      @Duncan for the antennas for the 4G booster, send me a photo of the connection type it uses, and what sort of bands it picks up on, and a photo of the existing antenna itself. I have some interesting ones coming into work soon that may suit your needs really really well AND stop you drilling holes in the roof.

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels.
