First of all, any of the below recomendations may not be so good if you've traveled Japan before.

I lived there for about 15 months. f*kuyama, to be exact. Are you only staying in the big city, or venturing surroundly cities? You should go to Onomichi for the famous temple on the hill - take a gondola ride up the hill through the tree tops.

Tomo no ura is 20 mins bus ride directly south of f*kuyama. Its one of the oldest townships in the area, and back in Edo period was the capital for its medicinal nihonshu, you can get free taste tests at one of the shops. If its hot weather, take a ferry ride to Sensui Jima (an island 5mins out of Tomo no ura) I often went to the beach on that island during the summers, and met some friendly j-girls on numerous occaisians.

In Hiroshima itself, go to a baseball game. The Hiroshima Carp are not great, but the fans are crazy. Even if you're not a baseball fan, its good entertainment. The new state-of-the-art stadium may be up and running by now.

If you want to check out the war memorial and the A-bomb dome be prepared for a very emotional time (and have tissues ready). Spend at least a day there as there is a large amount of education on nuclear technology and what it does when used wrongly.

You like shopping? I cant remember the names of the malls, but there are some great hondori's and the like.

Enjoy the different foods in the regions anywhere in Japan. Always ask what the local specialty is, you may be surprised at the different dishes and how much they vary. So there's Okonomiyaki - Hiroshima style, Tomo no ura is famous for its Tai (bream) and nihonshu, Mihara is famous for its octopus.

Anything else?

Michael.

I have only spent a small amount of time in hiroshima, but one thing I would say is a must do if you go there is okonomura - okonmiyaki town. It is basically a building of about 5 stories of all okonomiyaki restaurants. if you like japanese food you will know okonomiyaki in japan basically can be ordered in two styles. hiroshima style or osaka style. hiroshima style kicks ass. and in hiroshima it's very good. amazingly good okonomiyaki and nice cold beer is a good combo.

also, near hiroshima (maybe 30 min by train and then short ferry ride) is the islan miyajima. it's home to the floating torii and of course the floating temple behind it. they also have deer every where, lots of craft type shops, some nice 4 or 5 storey pagoda, and up the top (by sky car) there are monkeys. :P a nice day trip and listed as one of the 5 most beautiful sights in japan.

      It sounds like the perfect time to do easier tasks like, work out how to pull the headlights fully apart, clean them inside and out, and make them meticulous... Or lose all the clips, f**k up polishing the lenses, and get frustrated with that job while you can't do bigger more fun ones and wind up with no usable headlights...   I mean... What?! 😛

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lipomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, more time to contemplate rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
