Hi All

Going to Japan (Osaka, Nagoya, Toyko) on the 31st of July for a couple of weeks. Just wondering if anyone has climbed Mt Fuji and if so how did you go. Im planning to go without a trip as im tight, but i have climbed overseas before and 3776m is not a big climb, as yes i will be buying car parts.

Cheers

cool, thanks for your help...do you have any pics of your climb?

climbing at night its not easy to get any photos of worth, the idea is to watch the sun rise from the top but we only got a few glimpses trough the clouds and also not easy to get decent photos, the best photos of fuji are looking at it, not from it unfortunately. mind you try to get a shot of people sucking oxygen from cans, while you stand there smoking a cigarette. groups are very slow, its best to leave them and go at your own pace, (we got a bus up and back and they expected us to stay with the group, it was cheap) just make sure you let them see your face at the top. also its very cold waiting,climbing in shorts is great but have very warm jacket ect while you wait for the sun rise, the faster you go, the longer you wait and freeze!

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
