tonight thinking about heading to Iron Chef Chinese`s (i forget which one he is, Chen Kenichi I think) restaurant in Roppongi. I`ve heard it`s very good. Plus the novelty factor would be worth it too.

God I hope you didn't end up bothering with Chen Kenichi's restaurant. The most overhyped restaurant i've ever been to. Plus you dont have to go all the way to Roppongi as he's got a branch in Shibuya at the Cerulean Tower hotel which has the same menu... He never cooks at his own restaurants from what i've seen and heard (asked the staff).

Also the food is shit and way overpriced. 3,000 + yen for Ma po tofu.... WTF and you dont even get rice included.

yep, Wink got there. It's an S14. Pretty good use of an S14 I reckon. It looked crazy in real life.

thanks for the tip Kris, I will give Chen's restaurant a miss.

had a great day today at Asakusa and Ginza. Bought a new laptop from the sony building in Ginza. It's awesome. It was just released 4 days ago in japan and is carbon fibre bodied! Weighs only 1.5kg and has a finger print scanner too! Played some more PS3 and got a bit of a crowd going watching me play, and even won a round of applause when I finnished and the japanese girls working there said I was "number 1" I was chuffed! I think I'm going to buy a PS3 this weekend when they are released here.

Tonight was Daikoku and awesome. Went for a nice freeway blast in a HKS 2.8/T04Z powered 34. Over 650ps at the wheels! awesome....

pics coming.

that's the top secret built 34 on the left and my generous ride for the night. the sound it made at full noise in the freeway tunnels of the wangan route were awesome. external gate, and custom made top secret titanium exhaust can't be beat.

damn it's a mean looking car:

heaps of nice 32s in attendance too:

the quality of the cars blew me away. All GTRs too of course.

the power and response of this set-up was just un real. HKS 2.8. HKS T04Z. HKS V-cam. HKS Fcon V Pro. All built and tuned by top secret. If there is a better package out there for a fast yet easy to live with street car I can't think of it. It was scary fast.

some 33 love here too:

if old school is more your taste we've got that too:

that's all for now. It's nearly 2:30 am and I just got back to my room, and my ears are still ringing from those tunnel 'excursions'. :rofl: Will try and do some more tomorrow nigh. Got heaps of other nice random japan pics to share.

Sweet pics. The dark blue on that R32 GTR looks very good.

They remind me of some pics I saw in HPI once about the same sort of gathering (and maybe even same location).

EDIT: What car was that behind the Hakosuka?

Also notice some American muscle there.

sounds like ur having a good time... this trip sounds very different to the normal `im visting japan thread` from other people.

Plus you dont have to go all the way to Roppongi as he's got a branch in Shibuya

from chiba, roppongi and shibuya are exactly the same distance(travelling time)

      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.
