Hey guys,

As most of you know I'm in Tokyo at the moment. Ive been all around Japan 3 years ago but let me say Tokyo is something else. I went to Disney Land yesterday, and D1 Round 7 @ Fuji Speedway on Sunday which was of course my personal highlight, as well as getting to sit in the official Toyota F1 Car in Harajuku. That was amazing seeing an F1 car in the flesh.

Anyways enough chit chat, I thought I'd show you guys SOME pictures from D1 Round 7. I'll upload more as well as videos when I get back next week. But this should give you a taste of what I was lucky enough to experience, although the pictures don't really do it justice.. here they are... oh and the first one is my logo I got tat'd today by www.NS7Dept.com :P

edit: also thanks goes out to SAU sponsor Ben from J-Spec Imports for helping me out and clearing a few things about my future toy next year hopefully. :P

Nice, I was in Japan about 2 weeks back, whats the disneyland like? I went to disney sea lol :)

I made that mistake and got off at Disney Sea but theres a monorail that goes to Disney Land there. Disney Land is remarkable, although childish the work they've put into it blew me away. And its always funny seeing japanese versions of cinderella lol.

This is my fave pic from D1, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1022...mp;id=501249689 I spent as much time in the parking lot than I did watching the drifting. :D

Also if you see the pic of the white S15 with a shot targetted on the rear wheel, are the WedsSport SA-70 wheels that are arriving for me in a few weeks that I've waiting 4 months for. Seeing them in person confirmed they were worth every penny, and the wait!

Few more days here so I'm off for now.

Matta ne!

Chick was 30 and looked 22. She thought I was 23 although 19, underage overseas clubbin ftw. :ninja:

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
