Just about to leave for Tokyo for the first time. Staying until the 6th of Jan in Shinjuku. Just wondering if anything major is happening in this time such as Nismo festival etc or any good car showrooms/factories to see??

Also are there places where you can hire GTR's past and present as im hoping to do a little country driving while im there :P

For real??? I'm thinking of going to Japan later this year, this will be my first trip I will do on my own, always wanted to travel somewhere by myself.

So will no doubt be renting a GTR!!

Do it! It's one of those things that has to be done at least once. Oh and if you're gonna go to Japan try to learn how to say a few things, you'll be suprised how little english people speak over there...

Hi guys,

I'll be in Tokyo between 14th June to 20th June.

Just wondering if there is anything interesting on during this time.

Is it easy to go and visit workshops/race tracks - I'm in it for sight seeing?

My plan is to travel around the city by subway/train

If anyone is up for it we can always meet up for a chat and a beer. :(

Wow - that K-tours thing looks awesome - but 7 days and 6 nights is a little bit too much Osaka for me - As I planned Tokyo specifically - but have not locked in accomodation yet :(

But a side trip to Osaka is very tempting.

I've enquired with k-tours if they can do some sort of 2 or 3 day deal (I do part of the tour instead of the whole lot). I'll await their reply.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
