Hello,

A bunch of us are aiming to go to Japan in August, trying to keep our budget low and see some Dori.

Just wondering what your experience/recommendations with particular youth hostels are?

I've been to:

Shin-Osaka - Awesome, I think it even has AC.

Kyoto - Worst ever

Nikko (dunno which one) - Average

Sasebo (I think, it's really far west) - Good, very nice friendly people

Hakata (not sure about this one, it was more like a hotel but 1/3 the price) - Good, single room with everything, costs more than the others but I don't think it's a hostel....

Trying to find more info on places around Ebisu, Tokyo, Nagoya and Koichi.

I have no idea what's close to Ebisu, if there are any places there.

I got lucky and stayed in a hotel in Tokyo last time, but had to spend an extra night in a run down place for the same price :P. I stayed in a Ryokan the time before, that was awesome but I can't find it again. It was right down/up from Tokyo Dome.

Anyway, any of your experiences or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Over Golden Week, I stayed in Kochi Youth Hostel. Also, the JYH in Tokushima.

Both were very nice.

The Kochi one is a little far to walk into the city, but you can easily drive or ride your pushie in.

The Tokushima one also, is a little ways out, but situated directly on a beach park with some nice views and a relaxing vibe.

Both were run by very lovely people, and were very spacious rooms with nice furnishings. Pretty cheap too - about 3000 yen a night from memory.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

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

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
