would also like some location directions for

nismo , topsecret, superautobacs in either Tokyo or osaka

cheers

All of these have been covered before many times in these threads. Do a search.

Regarding Prince and what it has written on their website, its about 2 hours and 20 minutes from Shinjuku (Tokyo) on the Chuo HonSen line to Okadani then, from there 5 minutes by taxi.

Use http://www.jorudan.co.jp/english/norikae/ to help you plan your train trip.

Looks like the train from Shinjuku leaves only once, on the hour ever hour and is 6500yen one way. The train is called the "Azusa"

thx for that poida

yes i saw the sticky with links and searched.. the links for the car places are all in japanese

spent the whole morning searching for instructions in english to locate nismo, topsecret and superautobacs in osaka to no avail so any help is appreciated thx

Regarding Top Secret's home base in Chiba...

This thing is pretty tough to get to if you don't have a car. It's located near Owada (Yachiyo city) just off Route 16 near a bunch of used car dealerships and fairly non-descript chain restaurants/businesses. I must've passed by this place a good ten times before and never realized it was there until last week, so it's not as "hard to miss" as some other people have noted. However, the shop can be seen from the street if you're heading northbound on RT 16 (towards Funabashi). I live Katsutadai, which is listed as being the closest station to there but I believe it's still quite far away. A solid 20 minute bike ride or a good 40 mins to an hour on foot. A taxi might be the best, but most expensive, way to get there, although I'd like to find out if there really is a bus that gets there too.

BTW- There's also an Upgarage and a used car dealership that specializes in tuned RX7s only about a km or two away.

yes, going nth on RT16 you can see it from the road, but only if you are looking out for it. if you were coming from funabashi then you'd miss it for sure as it would be conceiled behind the service station.

the easiest way to get to TS if you haven't been before and don't have a car is get mono-rail from chiba station and get off at sports centre monorail station, then get a cab heading north and keep an eye out for it so you can tell the cabbie when to stop. I have tried to get a bus out that way before but it was a bit of a mission and didn't work out so well. :) taxi will still be $20 or $30.

thx for the help guys

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
