lol! Small world ;)

Id forgotten about that in Nth Syd!

When you say early, what sort of time are you talking?

Are you getting press passes for gtrblog?

Yep press registration is available on Saturday from morning on. I go to see the SuperGT teams tweaking for Sunday's racing. You can chill in the pits with the teams and get some nice pics with noone around.

just watch out for odd looking english speaking lost asians and itll be us!

just booked my last night in Tokyo at Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay

normally $800aud, got it for $240aud for 3 adults! awesome price, bit of luxury after spending a night in a capsule and the day before the 9hrs flight back home :P

  • 2 weeks later...

Osaka AutoMesse has most cars that attend the TAS, so you wont be disappointed.

Some of the local shops that dont attend the TAS sometimes have cars that would put the big boys to shame.

4 more sleeps!!!!!!! :P

woohooo i'm tokyo at the moment ,

is anyone planning on going to the D1SL event at Tsukuba? just trying to work out the best way there I was thinking train to tsukuba station then taxi to the track. also if anyone knows where to buys tickets in tokyo let me know.

Marcus thanks for your help with the Nismo tickets, we are staying in tokyo for the moment but will be up your way in a few weeks to try and get some skiing in depending on snow fall

Chris, mate I'm glad I could help out. Mate you could always hire a car, (K-car maybe 4-500yen for 24hrs) and go Tuskuba and then Daikoku futo on the way back for some action.

Hmmm i guess the marker pins dont show when you link the page to SAU.

Anyway, just imagine alot of them :)

Yeh i know, for some reason the flags dont appear when i linked the page.

They are on my laptop, ill see if i can post them up.

EDIT: Im exporting them to Google Maps one by one. I hope i can post the link after this.

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
