Hey guys, just looking for info... anyone know if the dates have been released for the 2009 show??

I can't seem to find any yet, but it seems to be early feb each year...

Anyone who has previously been... how do you rate it against TAS??? Same cars? Smaller show?

Thanks in advance.

I've been to one TAS and three or four OAMs. I preferred the OAM (more FDs, primarily), but I haven't been to any shows (except the annual Kobe rotary show) for years because the last OAM I went to was really disappointing - indicative of a declining scene (and, perhaps, declining interest).

In any case - the OAM is definitely worth a look if you're not too jaded, and don't mine a wide selection of crap euros and hummers with 25" chromies

^^ yeah I have been to two TAS (the last two) and reckon they were awesome...

Perhaps the new GTR will create a little resurgence in the scene?!!

Wondering if next time I come over I will wait til Feb for OAM, or just stick with my regular plan for Jan.

Why was it that made OAM better? (Besides being a lot closer for you!!)

First OAM I went to was actually a lot further away for me than Tokyo.

A few years later I went to TAS, and I remember thinking at the time that OAM was, although slightly smaller, a better show.

The problem these days is that there are only a few new worthwhile cars on the market (sti, evo, gtr) - each year I went I would see less of the interesting cars (all the good 89-02 stuff) and more and more crap (lexii, euro trash, hummers, etc).

If you haven't been to osaka/kansai, I'd suggest checking out OAM, and enjoying a change of scenery. You won't be missing out on much by switching shows.

yeah we spent four days in osaka/kobe last visit so I am somewhat familiar with osaka. We intend on doing both cities (tokyo and osaka) again next visit.

Since I haven't been to OAM might give it a crack!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
