Places to Visit in Yokohama and Tokyo.


Recommended Posts

The Daikoku PA would be a must for sure! I think you'll likely to see the most action on Fri, Sat and Sun nights. But there maybe other things to see during the week.

For a look at top quality GTR's, Zele International have their garage not too far from yokohama in Atsugi City. (Zele-International )

Aside from that, I'm not too familiar with Yokohama's car-related attractions. Last time I went there I stopped by the Mitsuibishi Museum (near downtomw Yokohama) and that was pretty cool. Oh, and not forgetting the landmark tower, one of the tallest buildings in Japan, and probably the world too...The elevator ride up is pretty cool, and on a clear day you can see for miles (you do have to pay to go up the tower though)

As far as I know the only way of accessing the parking area itself is to get onto the expressway (forget the name), cross the bay bridge and you'll see it as you approach the Daikoku interchange. There's usually something to be seen during the weekends (daytime), but the real action usually doesn't start until the evening.

It's a popular place which just about every kind of car club you care to imagine, from the Ferrari Club to the Honda AZ to American vans to the skyline clubs...

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
