Justin is a good team player I will give you that as you can see from our 4 wins lower on the board and as I said his Singles game is finally picking up and I'm still Jaggy as Evar!!!:D

Justin, you bloody better read this before the end of the week. Are you going to the Suma beach party?

Sure am! Are you?

Depends how funky he is...OK funky show us some moves (requesting funky's star wars kid type short clips).

I don't know I should be back Saturday afternoon, but shall we bring any chicks or they will be provided :D. Basically I told you I was jetting off on Thursday but I'm hoping to do it on Friday instead and get back on Saturday.

Hey Justin,

just noticed it says "R32 GTSt Type M under your avatar :P What's the story? I thought you were going for a V35 coupe? :cheers:

I getting both!!! :)

Actually, the R32 Type M will come first, I'm getting it through Troy. The V35 will come after, we're still trying to get a good one at the right price...

Dave, yeah we're almost ready to go...the GTSt is also slightly modified with a stonger clutch :(;):D, so get ready. Your going to be a popular fella in town with 3 nice cars parked in your driveway :). I do hope your driveway is big enough for 3 cars. We're also expecting a few nice scenic places to take photos ;)

No problems on parking space - my driveway can handle it, plus I have access to additional parking about 50m from my place, if you'd prefer to park there. I'm looking forward to it - the home field advantage means I'll be the car in front most of the time! :);) Which is nice since I'm driving the least powerful car! :(

A road with no traffic in Japan - the holy grail - does such a thing exist!?!? :);)

Nah, seriously - if you're prepared to wake up at some un-godly hour then we can have free run on a lot of roads. Being in the country, we don't have many bypasses and the like, but where we are, we can be in the mountain passes in 5 minutes. Most of the roads will be clear, so we'll be free to drive as we please.

I'm planning on showing you my local circuit - we might get lucky and catch some decent action. The drive there is a nice one and the circuit itself, is small, but there's usually something going off. I was there in Sunday, with several Imprezza's, Evo's (very nice and bl00dy quick IV) , plus a handful of others - hachi-roku's, silvias, R33 gtst's and a R32 GTR to name a few. I've also got several spots selected that'll give us decent backgrounds for phots - one happens to be at the Suntory Winery (which is literally behind my place)...

Mountains...ohhh maybe I should ask if I can take the S14 my mate is about to put back on the auctions...I promise not to scratch it :).

and circuits...it's going to be fun ;)

Dave, sound great mate we're also looking forward. I don't think we really need a long road as such perhaps because I think we may end up hitting the highway. I know Justin is itching to hit the highway limiter.

Oh also we need to hit the pool hall sometime during our stay :(

    • 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.
