Australian governement (via Smart traveller) has increased the area people should reconsider visiting. Now it includes Tokyo. They say its due to instability in the reactor. If you are in Tokyo now you might want to head south ASAP. Be careful everyone.

wow, that footage is unbelievable. so hard to imagine that happening. at the beginning there is a car driving down the street. at the end there are 3 storey buildings driving down the street...surreal.

Its a one off by a guy called Kazuhiko Hachiya to explain to the Japanese kids whats going on.

But the thing is its probably the best way most adults there would understand.

  • 3 weeks later...

50% chance in the next 6 days of another 'quake further north or south along that same fault line.

(That 7.2 aftershock on Sat was not along the same fault line.)

So if it happens, it may be adjecent to Hokkaido or further south and then south-west tucking in below Tokyo and around to Hakone.

Expected magnitude is in the order of 7.9

7.1 aftershock came a few hours ago.

Apparently on the same fault line or a tributary of it.

Hey Tezza

It was last night about 11:30pm and yep 7.1 but very deep just under 50km.

Been 4 more shocks since then.

I'm in Seoul at the moment and schools were shut down yesterday and kids sent home as rain with low level radiation came in from the SE from Japan.

    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
    • It will be salvageable. It really doesn't matter what is damaged. Opening up a 30+ year old motor for a rebuild immediately means a complete rebuild of the head anyway. Damaged valves just means an opportunity to put in some nice new ones. And in the modern day, why would you not throw at least a nice set of pistons at something. And if you're doing that, why not rods, and ARP fasteners, and so on.
