I am looking to head over and book this tour;

http://www.dsporttas.com/

Last year looked really good. VIP entry to TAS, spend a day at Fuji Speedway and ride shotgun with local drifters. Visit Daikoku Futo. visit a few workshops, experience the nightlife and then come home.

Sounds ideal to me!

$1699US excluding flights if booked before 31/10/2010

This sounds pretty awesome. I wonder if anyone from SAU has done this before?

cool, looks like there will be a few Aussies there then. Should be good.

Finalised my Early Bird payment today also with a mate.

Only thing on the itinerary I am unsure about is Top Fuel. They are a Honda tuning specialist. Hopefully its worth a look! :)

Edited by _8OO5TED_

yeah it will be worth a look. nothing wrong with japanese honda tuning. and this is coming from a bloke who has owned approx 20 skylines and a total of zero hondas but they still make some great cars and there are some great honda tuners in japan. :whistling:

    • It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.
    • Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂
    • 1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
    • UPDATE: was able to have the bracket repaired and base repaired, seat is like new now ;)
    • I was going to say it looks right out of Gran Turismo photoshoot when you just buy the car. (in a good way)
