As I said to the guy at Top Secret; Id give it a good home, however it seems the plan is to see how long it takes to be completely covered in rust.

Which is a shame, but the distinct vibe I got from each place we went is that RB's and 2J's arent worth bothering with now the R35 is out

Same vibe i got. When i was at Top Secret i was asking for RB25 parts, the guy there was looking through his stock and then just said "RB25 not popular"

I forgot about this thread.

I still haven't even had time to look at the 6 hours of 1080p video taken. I don't even know how there was that much. Though there was quite a lot at Tomei and on the Irohazaka run.

Will try and get the vids up soon.

Tomei are still RB fans.

They have just released new exhaust components that are on their way now which will be added to our line up very soon.

The quality is the same as the Expreme manifolds and dumps. AMAZING!!!

tell me there is more pics of this s14 floating around the net

No there are no more of it, it was just a customer car that was in the picture with the 34.

I'm not a fan of Silvia's. :D

I will be back there in October and will be packing another container.

If its there i will take a picture with me tying to pee on it. zing

There is so much unedited video, if i just uploaded it all without editing i would probably be banned from the internet and jailed upon return to Japan.

Just a few, it takes ages at this quality up.

This was the first couple of days and some train shenanigans on our way to Sendai.

Haven't even seen the actual motor sport video i took yet.

Be kind RE: the boyish good looks.

Note, we were both hungover in most vids trying to be touristy.

Steve's snoring messing with my dreams.

The reason i had no sleep while Steve was with me for the first 10 days i was in japan in June.

Steve Honda Station.

Wish someone had of killed me so that i wouldn't have had to deal.

Moe slurring and time wasting. Irrelevant jibba jab

60% of the time it works every time.

Not much else to do on the train?

More to come, that was a gig. Ridiculous.

I will get to the drifting, circuit, and workshop stuff as i can.

I'm back over in October, so no doubt will have more before i have even finished looking at or uploading things from June.

I like the part where he snores lol

Seriously though, id be smothering Steve with a pillow if i had to endure 10 days of that :D

Bwahaha.. nice thread guys..

Steve you are a tank man! That's why I hate sharing cabins with you. Paper thin walls and you sound like almost like a rotor!

I like the part where he snores lol

Seriously though, id be smothering Steve with a pillow if i had to endure 10 days of that :(

I Did...........................................it got through. :D

Will be meeting up with Uno in Sendai again and will hopefully get some nice street touge/drift footage.

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
