Hey all... am planning to head to Tokyo or New York for two weeks later this year.

Time of travel will be any two weeks from start of August until end of October. If it's Tokyo I'm thinking early October to head to the MotoGP.

Other than that I'm pretty cruisey, would prefer not to go alone is all so looking for someone to travel with, visit land marks, eat some good food and booze. Hopefully find some good car shows/events!

If you're interested in travelling to either locations or have any suggestions from previous travel let me know!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated :P

theres a groups of us in the us from late august and and all of September, if your over at that time send us a pm we have some pretty cool things planned.

Japan gp would be cool, we head down to phillip island most years and vip it up at an oil or supplier getup.... best event of the year hands down.

So you're talking about Japan then right? Sounds good, although personally I prefer the superbikes... riding around without a helmet doing rolling burnouts is teh win :D

I would love to go but this year it's Hawaii in August, first 2 and a bit weeks. Maybe next year or year after we will hit up mainland US and A. Would also love to go to Japan but I think I will have issues with the food. I don't like much asian food, don't even like rice. So I may be up the creek there. Teryaki steak is good though :)

Have a great trip Charlie

My other half has training in Chicago for a week for work, he's then flying to New York and I'm going to meet him there for a week. I get cheap flights so I may as well take advantage of it. I've been to New York before, I'll just do the normal touristy things again :)

Yeah MUZT3K, train tickets are! :)

Best deal I've been able to find is $1500 Melb>NYC>San Fran>Melb. Otherwise Melb>NYC>Melb is $1200. That's pretty affordable!

Apparantly it's really hot in NYC in August (<ghey) Makes me think of going later in the year... but I want to go noooooow!!!!!!! lol

Last time I went to Japan I got to head out to the D1GP at Fuji Speedway :P great experience.

Also went to the Nismo factory for a looky. Most of our trip was based around car related things!

Would love to go to New York! :) No moneys to spare though.

Business class return flights MEL-LA-NY for me are cheaper than that. My mum works for QANTAS :P

I've done Japan twice now, awesome place.

So will I!

Cool, is a great time of year :cool:

Looks like I should be there around that time as well! What are you guys planning to do and how long for??

As with llama_au, we were there 2 years ago so are heading back to see more. Last time did Rockefeller Centre, Hudson River cruise, Soho, Times Square/Broadway, Wall St, Guggenheim, Central Park, 5th Avenue, some nice bars. Just touristy things there really. To show how popular the city is, we spent the entire 5 days with 2 sets of friends from Melbourne without even knowing they were going in the first place. Just facebook updates. Ended up being a lot more fun as they had been there before and able to show us some good places. :)

I'll be in NY with my GF in August and so will Mav and his wife to be. You're welcome to hook up with us there if the dates match :)

When are the dates being sent through dude! Will be in touch today. :)

      Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣

      Rv37 400r questions

      By sonicii · Posted

      Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By admS15 · Posted

      If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
