How come alot of the cars there had tape over all their lights???? I've never been to a track day so i don't know if people have to do that here or not but it just looks a bit wierd.

If they have an accident and their lights are hit the tape holds the pieces of headlight together.

yep that's the theory. over here people generally cover the whole thing with clear contact so most people probably dont notice it's there at all. the japanese effort with just a thin piece of electrical tape probably wouldn't do bugger all, but they do it anyway...

yes there were a few stageas out. there was even one drifting!!

I will upload some more pics later on, so for now I'd suggest go back to page 1 and have another look. lol. I always notice something new.

I ate fugu last night for the first time. I have to say it was very, very tasty. and I didn't die at all which was a plus.

I'm glad everyone enjoys the pics as I enjoy sharing my experiences in japan. I always try and do something new or different.

nick, I will try and dig out some pics of that stagea later on. I have gigs and gigs of pics. :(

Awesome, thanks for that Richard! :O:P

And I'm guessing fugu = puffer fish? (Would be kinda unusual if you'd still managed to post replies and images after you'd died from eating the fugu... :):O:D )

haha, i actually thought of you troy when I saw that car, so I went over and took some pics and had a chat to the owner. he was nice, but a bit bemused as to wtf I was doing talking to him when all the saurus cars where ---> that ways.

better clear your schedule for next year big fella as I may need someone to hold my hair back whilst driving the porcelain limo and to hold my umbrella whilst taking pics on the togue. >_< plus someone has to look after the dozens of young ladies that don't meet beer barons 12 point ISO 9002 perfection standard.

yep, fugu is the poison blow fish (or puffer fish) very tasty indeed. I just had one type: fugu karage (deep fried fugu) and it was good. just the smallest bit of numb lip, but I was a bit pissed to hard to tell really.

tomorrow night I'm heading out to yokohama to have dinner with one of the drifters I met at Fuji. He has told me his father owns a 'full tuned' R34 GTR and is keen to take me out in it being a fellow GTR owner and all. it certainly sounds promising.

ok, tonight I'm heading to my favourite ramen place to dinner, then a few bars, then some clubbing. >_<

a few pics to come before I head out.

yeah, fugu karage was tasty. a few bones though which you have to watch out for!

ok.

here is what 1 hours shopping looks like:

Nice choice of goodies, wish I'd had a chance (and the money - but that's the story of my life) to get you to grab some Defi BF gauges for me...

Oh, and WTF are you doing ironing your laptop - you'll void the warranty, dude! >_< >_<

oo, I forgot to mention 1 other thing.

The day I went to fuji I was lying in bed awake at around 3am when all of a sudden the room started shaking, and shit fell off the table. As I was right on the edge of the bed I even had to put one arm on the floor to steady myself. yep, my first decent japanese earthquake! 5.7!!! It was a fair way out of tokyo, but being on the 12th floor (and a brand new building with soft suspension) meant the thing shook like you wouldn't believe. It was quite scary, and exciting at the same time. got to love japan.

lol! yes. It hasn't been the same since! It's a nice lappy too. carbon fibre body. 1.1kg weight!

actually I may be able to help out with the defis in the near future as I want to switch from my Defi BFs (boost, oil press, oil temp) to some defi link meters. so I was going to just swap the guage faces and sell the BFs with the new sensors, mounts, cups etc that come with the defi links I'm buying. we can talk when i'm back! :laugh:

Who'd you get your apartment through? I'm currently looking at one through a couple of agencies and would be interested to know more about who you went with, where you stayed, how much etc... if you don't mind sharing that is.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
