Whoa,

Just finished going over all 25 pages in the Japan thread for my trip tomorrow morning, geez theres heaps of stuff there which has been covered like 5 times already! Anyways Ive decided to check out upgarages and other shops but I realise theyre pretty shit. Ive used the web page translator and have got heaps of addresses and such but cant translate the seconhan autobacs pages, as far as i can tell they have different shops with specialist area such as seats, engine enhancements, wheels etc- but I dont know which ones are which and what theyre address' are. could someone who reads Japanese please help me out.

Im mainly looking at going to:

Tokyo:

Upgarages

Seconhan Autobacs

Hasegawa

Big foot

Crystal

Wreckers in Tokyo area

Also are Nengun and Greenline 2nd hand shops??

Osaka:

Trial

Wreckers in Osaka area

If anyone has directions to these places that would be great, upgarages have been covered though. When im done with my trip ill write up address' and directions to these places and info on what was there and if it was a bargain etc- and maybe someone could sticky it so it would be easy to find for all other Noobs like me.

Cheers

Just print out the map and addresses from their website and ask in the hotel for directions. We have always used this trick when travling in Japan.

sweet, cheers for that, ill print off the maps and see how i go, still struggling with the language, my japanese is getting better but have to think hard before I try and say something....

Its a lot better than mine ( non existant). What i do is i give a printout of the place i want to visit to someone at the reception of my hotel. The go to their online map and print it then use a highlighter to show me the best way of getting there. If for some reason i get lost i just call the same person at the hotel, tell them where i am and they guide me there.

All you need is a car and a phone, you do get stuck in traffic though so allow plenty of time. The fact that you speak even little Jap is a great help, especially if you can read .

      my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast

      Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.

      I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?

      Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science

      Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
