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...

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
