yep, that's the one. good ol donki. typical japanese assassination of english (well in this case spanish I guess?) donpen_02.jpg

you can buy everything at donki otie from a pack of crotchless panties, through to a maid outfit for your gf, through to a pack of beer and some snacks, through to some small apartment furniture right up to a 1mil yen louis vuitton handbag! in the roppongi store they have giant fish and turtles etc in their fish tank and at about midnight on fridays they feed small fish to the big fish! it freaked me out the first time I saw it. I was standing outside when I saw a bucket of small gold fish get tipped into the tank. then the big ass fish just started swallowing them. I was like wtf? the same shop in roppongi with the fish eating fish also has a roller coaster on the roof! my apartment in tokyo is just down the road from the roppongi store, it's like my local supermarket when i'm there. lol. they have a really big one in shinjuku too. the one in roppongi is like 6 stories or so.

don quijote roppongi and it's roller coaster!:

Thanks Beer Baron, compliment appreciated.

Yea i saw that silvia on my first day there and thought to myself..... this is how cars should be built hahaha love the style.

Almost every car there has a ash tray like that, when i went halfway up Fuji Yama i saw a wagon with 6 ash trays on the dash, heavy smoker.

It looks kool and a good idea too so you dont get ciggies thrown all over the streets.

And yea don quixote is the best shop ever, its like a everything u want and need in one shop......it seems all the hotties hangout there at night with there friends, a good place for a nice view hahaha.

Oh did i mention the crepes at Harajuku?? highly reccommended.... a must try.

Thanks Blk180, Japan has very beautiful scenery, i didnt want to come back to this bland land we call home hahaha

I hope you enjoy ur holiday in December.

I didnt get any car parts apart from the JDM learner driver stickers and some drift stickers, as im selling the cars i have here and buying something cheap to runaround in eventually, the car game is not so strong in my blood anymore after what ive seen in Japan. to put it bluntly Oz mod rules and style sucks.

I wanna buy something for the missus in Jp, she wants a VIP style sedan so we're thinking maybe a Y33 Cedric or something along those lines.

Was tempting to buy air fresheners, ashtrays, front tables. cup holders and curtains hahaha i love that stuff.

However i did buy many many clothes and new kicks from BAPE shop and 109 Shibuya and other shops in Harajuku, got a hot new G-shock from donki ote....and heaps of magazines from Book Off but due to Jetstars 20Kg baggage deal i left alot of clothes and magazines and beer back there awaiting my return lol.

1. DONT DO IT !!!!

2. BEEN THERE DONE THAT (STILL PAYING THE PRICE)

I am from QLD also I got married in Japan (Nagano) to a Japanese woman in 2005 (two boys, 3 year old and 1 year old)

All you have to do is go to the embassy (might be available in AU from giv before u go? ask DFAT) and get a document (forgot the official name) which shows you are legally eligable to marry (ie your not married in AU) the embassy when we did it were a pain in the ass to deal with, there are window through out the week you have to apply for this document. my wife went there outside the window and demanded it, would leave with out it.

After you get it, take it to the local Japanese government office where your wife is registered/domiciled, fill out the paperwork, show family tree (Koseki tohon) sign the document and you are married. I took my father in law along also, having an old Japanese man in Japan to do your bidding helps (damn male dominant seniority based country)

If your daughter is a dual national, at the age of 20 she is required to pick one nationality over the other, she has 2 years to decide, ie they want the final decision by 22. However they almost never enforce this rule (there was talk in JP gov that they were thinking of changing the rule, by the time your daughter is 20 might not exist anymore) if she wanted to join the police,army, wanted to run for politicial office or was famous/prominent then she may be forced, but if she is an average person on the street they dont enforce this rule. If she goes to JP dont show them your AU passport and there should be no dramas, AU government isnt goint to be asked by Japanese gov if she has cancelled her AU citizenship or not...

man citizenship isnt a joke to be hidden ... or dont show them passport or so , if Jap's doesnt allowed dual citizenship You need to respect that and You have to make a choice

as one day its can be very " costly " for You or very " pain full".

I am dualcitizen so I know what I am talking about .Its not a ...she will be right mate ..., it is under international low .

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      As someone who has been playing with turbo things for some time now, be prepared for this to not be the first time feeling this way    I'm busy as atm, but if no one else covers the things I'm realising are worth mentioning to you then I will when I have a chance as it seems like I overestimated your knowledge on how turbos and wastegates work.  Otherwise I recommend having a look around how wastegates and boost control work, really anything on understanding the general mechanism of boost control as it will help you find the answers to the questions you're looking for.  Your initial question jumps some fundamentals.

      we can only guess exactly what happened from our keyboards, but to me it looks like they were targeting 27 but the wastegate was too small or poorly controlled and the boost crept up, that is quite common

      Good points!  Took those for granted - though I *did* actually give an example of winding boost up more than it had been before where I wasn't actually specifically looking for more peak power.  The Toyota Starlet dyno plot that I shared and mentioned showed an overlay from the previous tune it had and the one I'd redone, I left the boost targetting the same as the old tune but then after peak power I ramped boost up by a good 5psi or so over what the old tune had at the same rpm. The reason I felt comfortable with this (though the owner of the car had a "are you sure?" moment when I suggested it) is that the setup wasn't turbo limited, it was largely head sealing limited and the owner was a bit concerned as for the last few seasons he'd had issues with head lifting - sometimes not completing an event without having some headgasket issue, so he didn't want to run any more boost than it was. The reasons I was ok with raising the boost a good 5+psi MORE than that was that I left it where it was in the middle, and only increased it where VE (and therefore cylinder pressure vs psi) were dropping hard and I didn't stop the torque from dropping, just reduced the drop.  Well, there is that and the fact that the previous tuner had it overtimed by near 7degrees at peak torque - but that's another story haha.    I didn't really go into detail about that "turning it up more" thing but now you've mentioned the "not detuning", sometimes the boost *can* be turned up higher than you'd expect if the setup allows for it and you do it smartly.  I've tuned things to run 30psi on BP98 "safely" that a few years ago (or still?) people would cry that it was a stupid idea - but given they were well intercooled, low EMAP turbos and only doing that kind of boost where VE is dropping etc I was pretty confident it wasn't as cowboy as it sounded at face value and we never ended up with issues as a result of it.
