Yep I worked it out the hard way!

Actually completed the mission and got out there though! Well worth the extra effort, it's about 100x more interesting than the old one. Got plenty of photos and bought some small things and a team jacket. Can't post any photos but if you check out the SAU page on fb they are up on there.

So I checked out autobacs in the hope they might have some cool stuff but all they had were some razo shit, a hks pod filter and about a million different types of car fragrance. Where do the locals buy their bride, tomei, greddy, hks etc gear?

super autobacs in tokyo bay.

they've got a decent range of wheels, plenty of recaros, brides, takata harnesses, some GTR hyper rev mags, some nismo gear, aisles of air fresheners, rear view mirrors, defis, pretty much the works.

was it hard to get to the nismo factory? im heading to japan in a couple of weeks and THIS would be awesome to visit

Take the train to JR Tsurumi and catch a cab. Getting to Tsurumi is easy, telling the cabbie where to go is a bit more of a challenge as my one got a bit confused at first but then called on the rado and worked it out. It's not as convenient as the old Omori Factory but it's definitely worth the effort. Probably about an hour out of Tokyo. Take some directions in Japanese with you. And be sure to ask the nice lady at the Nismo counter to get you a cab back to Tsurumi :)

Oh and don't follow the instructions on the Nismo english website! They haven't updated the location of the new Nismo HQ. Check this out http://www.nismo.co.jp/showroom/accessmap/img/map_img.png

Take the train to JR Tsurumi and catch a cab.

Namamuggi station is the station you want to get to. It's much closer than Tsurumi station though it's not on the JR line (only an issue if youre sticking to JR lines due to having a JR pass). From here you can either walk about 15 - 20 minutes or try your luck finding a cab. There aren't many out that side of town as it is an industrial area :/

Ramie, mate hire a car punch in phone number into gps job done ! You can ask for english gps .

Having a car you can hit half a dozen workshops in near by areas plus pop into daikoku.

You'll see a lot more with a car and have the freedom to go where ever you want and driving in Japan is easy.

If you haven't booked your hotel I can help you line up a cheap place with car park and can help sort rental car, I use Japanese web booking sites and have club cards so get deals. Send me pm or email me if you want.

One thing to keep in mind , Golden Week (27/4 ~ 06/05) is not far away and Japan shuts down big time plus getting hotels or car rentals are extremely difficult and travelling on trains through this time..forget it, its a total nightmare.

lucky then, i will be getting into Japan just after that time period :)

i've already purchased a rail pass, so i'll just get my head around things this first trip and be more adventurous the second time around.

thanks for the offer though marcus, really appreciate it

Elrodeo666 knows his stuff. I lived in Japan for 7 years and his comments are on the money. and sometimes even just successfully finding these places is half the fun, as you might not see as much as you expected once you get there.

      GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By eli995 · Posted

      Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan)

      If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
