glad you like them :P

there are lots more I promise, I am just a slack bastardo. they are all on my old PC hard drive which has been put into a (un-reliable) external case. and cause the bloody thing keeps dropping connection transferring the pics is far less fun that it should be... one day.... I promise!

Awesome job with the photos. You must know some people over there.

Do you have any Wangan pics or vid?

Hi mate, I've never taken much vid in japan. some drifting etc. but I'm usually too busy doing stuff to want to film or even photograph things. sometimes you don't really enjoy stuff if you just spend all the time taking pics. plus it's hard to film/shoot when driving. :P there are some pics there from daikoku and other wangan rest stops which are actually built onto (under or on the side of) the wangan. I've taken pics like that when we stop there to meet people, have a drink, break etc.

I just wanted to say that this was a great thread! Thank you for sharing your travels with us! I've been to Japan before when I was a lot younger, and I'm planning to head back next year!

no prob guys. glad you all like the thread. I do still have lots more pics here somewhere and one day will get around to uploading. :(

as the thread shows there is lots to japan outside of car stuff so no matter who you go with or what you're doing in japan you'll have a great time. :P

got a small piece of updated news of sorts. in a couple of months I'm heading out for a month and a bit of treking around. going to drive the nurburgring for a few days (been meaning to for ages), spend a few weeks in italy and a few other europe stops and then of course BACK TO JAPAN! so I should finally have some NEW pics to upload in the japan photo diary. In the meantime it might also motivate me a bit to go through the old pics I've never sorted and upload some of them. :( so hang in there.

Hi Beer Baron, have you got any high-res photos of the Nissan R92CP from the Nismo Festival photo album? It's the blue/white/red LeMans racer with the gold/chrome BBS (?) rims :/

If you do could, you PM me with a few? I've never been able to find any on the web :laugh:

hi mate, I have all the pics in hi-res still and many more I never got around to posting. I'm just about to move house again though so time is tight at the moment. give me a few weeks and I will get some out. in fact I'm going back to japan next month so I'll have some fresh pics too. :)

hey Mr barron. you may not check this often. ive only just found this thread and ive only started to scim it.

do you have any detailed pics as such of the garage saurus gold GTR. i think it the one with the radiator in the back if im not mistaken?

Hey Damo, yeah I don't check often. I should have some pics of the gold Saurus car as I have sat in it before and made car noises. lol. Took lots of pics but sadly never been for a drive in it. BUT I have been out in Hayashi-san's (owner of Saurus) 1200hp DAILY R34 GTR. yes those numbers are correct (well at least according to him!).

When I get my old PC fired up again, I'll see what I can dig out for you.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
