Car Related Tours, Factories Etc To Visit While In Japan?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys/gals

Im leaving for Japan on the 26th of November and i was wondering if anyone could give me the addresses, details etc of various car related factories and museums that i could visit while im in japan. BTW im staying in Ueno.

Cheers :(

There is a JTB Tour of the Toyota factory in Nagoya.. http://www.jtbgmt.com/sunrisetour/ adn when I was in Hiroshima, one of the JTB tour guides, Akiko, said that she can arrange tours of the Mazda factory there. She is very nice and will most probably ask you a lot of questions, as she is writing a book entitled "Memoirs of a Guide", hjer english is excellent and she is very knowledgable..

Have fun, J rocks..

If you could leave for japan three days earlier i'd recommend the prince-skyline museum.

A special event is held on November 23 to commemorate of new skyline(V36) release.

The prince-skyline museum is closed from November 19 to next April.

also, go to the Fuji speedway website, it tells you how to get to JR gotenba, and then how to get to the track (taxi is the best way).

Last time I went to Fuji speedway I went via Odakyu Romance car from Shinjuku station (the Odakyu entrance is on the south/west side of the JR station). Then all you need to know is jump in a takushi and say "Speedway made onegaishimasu". You can get to Shinjuku via JR train from Ueno (yamanote line).

You will love it. Any car lover in Japan on December 3rd, and NOT at Nismo festival deserves a square kick in the nutsack I reckon. harsh but fair.

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
