Very nice pictures all up of both cars and girls, thanks a heap for the uploads. When and where is TAS held each year? I ought to go next time when I go to japan.

youre welcome mate. hope the res was good enough.

the salon has traditionally been held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba which is roughly an hour and a half by train from Tokyo station. Its not hard to find and you cant really get lost because thousands of likeminded people are heading in the same direction.

It will cost you about 20 dollars to get in and then its a free for all once you do...

if your funny, witty enough and foreign , Japanese girls will take a likening to you. Just dont get busted with your camera up her skirt! :sleep:

Cheers!post-33653-1169166360.jpgpost-33653-1169166472.jpg The chopped S2000 was wicked! Its a shame they dont make them all like this.

This Celsior was one of my personal favourites. I simply could not believe the level of customization the tuners took this car to... It had basically everything, including 4 water screens, hydro's, a single seat conversion with modified accelerator pedal and 4 gullwing doors... post-33653-1169166743.jpg

the interior was incredible..post-33653-1169167085.jpgpost-33653-1169167199.jpg[attachmen

The guys that had the NATS stand are a group of studentss studying at the aussie equivalent of automotive TAFE...

They had a budget, including car purchase of 1 Million yen...thats only 9 Grand!! and just check out what they managed to create within those guidelines!

try to guess what the donor car was....post-33653-1169168366.jpgpost-33653-1169168461.jpg

not bad for a 9k R32, is it?post-33653-1169168576.jpg

then there was this wide body GT style soarer. It looked the biz and considering the price, these kids did a great job.

yes it was rough around the edges but it still looked pretty tough..post-33653-1169169049.jpgpost-33653-1169169236.jpg

the supra style front bar looked the goods..post-33653-1169169307.jpg

nice 6 series with gullwing doors...post-33653-1169169430.jpgpost-33653-1169169467.jpgpost-12730-1123035141.gif

Edited by sleepyboi

    • To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.
    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
    • I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
