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.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
