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 .

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
