Man those Smoking carriages on the Shinkansen make me sick and I smoke!!! I felt sorry for the poor wives sitting there whilst the Husband sucked down the Lark's, Malboro's and Mild Seven's like they were going out of fashion.

The Nozomi does 300 between Kyoto and Kobe. It even comes up on the screen at the front telling you!

yeah, the smoking carriage is hard core. I've had 3 rides on the Nozomi now, and all 3 reserved seats, in the non-smoking car. I cheated and just grabbed my beer and ciggies and reloacted to the smoking section when the need arose.

I'm now in Osaka. Staying at the Osaka Hilton which is simply amazing. A really nice hotel, and top notch service.

wilch, glad you like my boots, for that pose I use my massive wang to balance on. it's not so hard to do as it's quite thick and long :P;)

I will try and post some more pics later on. Loving the 400D and getting a little better, but it still far exceeds my ability to use it properly at all :)

asahi headquarters. complete with golden poo

You aren't going to believe this! Whilst reading my Marie Claire on the train this afteroon, I came across an article named 'GOLD RUSH', written to highlight the designers who found inspiration in the most glamorous of metals. After reading about Louis Vuitton handbags, Dolce & Gabbana perfume & Gucci shoes, I came across this so called 'golden poo'. According to Marie Claire, it is called the Flamme d'Or (Gold Flame), and was designed by Philippe Starck for the Asahi Hall. Philippe also created 18-carat gold-plated gun-shaped lamps for Italian lighting company, FLOS. :)

So there you have it folks... a little Thursday afternoon trivia. This strange object is nothing more than a turd-shaped golden flame :)

:kiss:

that Rainbow Mountain Blend that Tommy Lee Jones is promoting isnt too bad actually!

Agreed... Rainbow is the best... we just finished a case between me and Nick and were up to the fine roast cans now... probably my second favourite...

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
