I'm up for a few games of pool - I used to be quite good, and had a habbit of cleaning up the table, sinking several balls in a row (which BTW earned me the nickname: Demon Dave :mad:)

but in retrospect it was probably more luck than anything else. :)

I haven't played in years though...never even seen a table in Japan!

They better have the mix nuts.
Yeah, they better! What kind of pool hall runs out of mixed nuts??? Jeez...

Btw, we went to a pool hall in Nishinomiya somewhere, and parked at a "24 Times" parking lot, where we happened upon this:

Z10 Nissan Cube, completely standard apart from those stickers... :headspin:

Yeah Kei-cars or tallboy wagons seem to like a mild dose of sticker-tune. My neighbour's black 98 turbo Move used to have a HKS sticker on the back window and other various sticker-tune...but I don't say much because he gives me free window wiper blades, coolant, etc from work (aftermarket/OEM parts supplier to makers). He's also a nice guy who is still saving to buy a nice car, being young and married ain't easy.

Also Justin will attempt again this Friday to prove his ghey shots will win over my powershots...I will have some photo evidence where possible :rolleyes:

Yeah.. ok. But this time I'll have a team of Japanese girlies cheering me on ;)

Justin how you getting there tomorrow? If your not riding with me, meet at the pool place just after 9pm.

Hankyu Nishinomiya stn, North Exit, keep walking North along the street. You should see the 7-11 on the corner if you remember, and MOS burger is to your left on that coner over a block. Keep walking North another 10 metres and the pool place is to your Right, up the stairs.

:rofl:

Troy for some reason, when I read those directions they sounded just like all the other directions I've ever been given in Japan...

leave this station, go along this street, turn right when you get to a seven eleven...

just re-affirms that once you've been to one Japanese city, you've been to 'em all. :( In actual fact I can picture a place here in Yamanashi that has a similar layout - MOS buger, 7-11 and a (swimming) pool :)

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
