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.

    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
