Everything you always wanted to know about Japan...


Recommended Posts

just wonder how the drag strips in japan are?

I notice they dont spray much traction compound(im not sure just by watching videos),and the strip itself looks like a normal road. This must be good for street radial tires but bad for full slick drag cars?

Down here in Okinawa the drag races are done on an enclosed strip of asphalt. The strip is short (150 Meters) and is a normal road. They do not use any traction compound that I know of but the tire of choice of the big boys (900 HP GTRS) are Nitto Drag radials.

>SHUTO-BOY: What video were you watching? Do you know which dragstrip it was? Could it have been Central Circuit?

If it was Central Circuit, well, it's a race track of course, and the 1/4 mile strip is just a part of the main straight section of the track. I don't think they can go out of there way to prepare too much because it's not a dedicated 'strip.

    • That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
    • Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?
    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
