Hey guys,

I'm an Aussie gtr owner based in Tokyo (kanagawa as of last month), and was wondering who of you also live in the land of the rising sun?

Hopefully if there are enough of us we could arrange the occasional meet up?

if you live in japan post a quick reply with your name, and area of residence in japan, and your car if you have one.

cheers!

Totally awesome!! If you could post these pics up regularly, I'd love to share them among the social networks. We love this stuff!

Would be great to have a little SAU contingent in Japan!!

That was awesome, well edited too.

I think posting this stuff in the Japan section and I'll promote them around the site and on FB/Twitter etc.

I absolutely *love* those EVO wagons. So freaking cool.

Those Porsches also make my knees weak!

You can post videos with [ youtube ] bbcode.

If you do add a video, please tag the thread with 'video' as we have a bit of a video index page - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/page/videos

mate, you know what kills me? when i was looking for a car in early 2012 i saw a right hand drive 993 for around 25 grand Aussie! at the time i didn't quite have the money, and was a couple of months from being ready to buy a car. the cheapest one i can find now is 50+ grand! i also saw this happen with the hakosuka, and ken&mary non gtr skylines. prices on most modern classic cars is really going up in japan!

cool mate i'll start adding more content as i get the r32 out on the wangan, and to the meets here. i'll also try to get some dyno videos from Top Secret when i get it tuned.

cheers mate!

Any more Japanese based members on here?

To bump your old thread, I'm living in Yokohama (out near Kamiooka station) and working in Minato Mirai

I have yet to experience Daikokufuto, in the past when my friend tried to take me it was closed, so we went to Tatsumi and Umihotaro.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
