your maps work now i think i need another week here just to cover what you have put up

Glad it worked, took me ages :)

I think ill have to miss Mines and HKS :P A little far away for our schedule.

Crystal, Top Secret on Friday, hope to get to Nismo Omori too,

then off to see what we can see at Daikoku Futo on Friday night.

D1SL Saturday

Nismo Sunday

Gonna be a great weekend! :down:

Yeah it works (haha sorry i got to my mates and didnt get on the computer)

Id like to go to HKS, but yeah Mines isnt worth the time spent getting there - sure its nice, but its so not close

Its 100km between Zele and Top Secret, would take 90mins to travel by toll roads and nearly 150mins without tolls.

All the workshops are in between, most in Kanagawa/Yokohama, where do we start???

Start at Crystal, Top Secret, Nismo, Weld, SuiVax, Kunnys, MidoriSeibi, UpGarage, Tomei, Zele.

Thats the quickest route, but a hell of alot to do in 6hrs!

Might have to hire the van again on Monday.

one sleep to go for us. Anyone catching the 8:45am flight (Syd to GC) tomorrow morning with Jetstar? then the 11am flight to Narita? Give us a yell if you are. I'll be the one with a Lakers jacket :P

Anyone want to suggest a place to meet up at the Festival?

Marcus, let me know where you are in Gotenba on saturday night!

ntsky have you got tickets for the D1SL or are you going to buy at the gate?

unfortunately this fool didnt' get his international licence before coming out DOH so will be train and taxi for me i think

Got to Top Secret, bought alot of gear.

Crystal, didnt have the diff i wanted. And didnt have the Defi gauges Steve wanted, but have everything else. The silver Veilside Supra was parked out the back, albeit rather dirty.

Got to Zele, where we saw build number 20 R33 400R. Was mint!! There was a R35 next to it and i dont think i even took one photo of the 35 :blink:

Got to Weld, very nice cars there and bought a few bits and pieces.

Drove out to Diakoku and missed the entry turn off so spent 45 mins trying to get back on the freeway, by the time we got there the cops had the place shut down. from the sound of the sound of the noise coming out of it, it looked very interesting.

We will be going back there tonight after D1SL.

For anyone staying in tonight and watching the idiot box in their hotel, K1 Grand Prix is on tonight from 9pm.

Just do a channel search and you'll find it.

Raining now and has been since after lunch around Fuji area but forecast is for a sunny day tomorrow..

See ya's there !!

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
