akeenan: that's right. I ended up taking the bus from the Narita to Shinjuku and it cost me about 30 bucks... My point is, if we are going, we should really know how to read at least some Japanese so that we don't get lost...

inark: cool, would you arrange for US to stay at her house, too? Hehehe... Is she pretty? :D

i leave on august 2nd for akita. been with the gf for almost 5 1/2 years, 'bout time i met the parents... but i get to spend a week in tokyo before i come back.

the problem you guys will have is that's it's 'obon' over there (www.japan-guide.com/e/e2286.html) and the hotels will be busy.

your best bet would be to book a package tour. try H.I.S. in the city (level 9, 257 collins st) or another travel agent and tell them you what you can pay.

also, you don't need a visa if you go for less than 3 months but you do need to prove you have a place to stay.

don't worry if you don't speak japanese, it's easy to get around. almost all signs are in japanese/english. just learn the essential phrases; "nismo wa doko?"

LOL 'nark... I tried learning Japanese once and it is pretty damn hard! Way harder than I thought!

Anyway, if you guys are going, there are some 80% chance that I am going... I don't think it is a problem. I've been saving up for years since I don't want to spend too much on modifications anymore... Keep me posted, Dudes...

damn only $500 odd to go all the way to japan!! u sure u wont be traveling in the cargo hold for that price??

Would love to go 2, but wayyy to busy at work.

As for sending back a container its quite easy, long as u can find a good seaworthy container over there to hire u can organise with an aus freight company to ship it back from there 2 here!

But u will have to fill it full of stuff or else it wont be worth the cost!!

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
