My girlfriend is going to teach conversational English with Nova in a few weeks :P and has been placed in Kawasaki. I've been looking over the web about this city and have so far found pretty much nothing, apart from that it has a port.

Can anyone please tell me a bit about it - the area looks pretty industrial.

How far from Tokyo? (I can't tell from the map) How far from the airport?

Nice city??

I'll be visiting in December over christmas / new year, so would love to catch some of you Japan guys :P

Thanks

Kawaskai city isnt too far from tokyo. But it really depends on which part of tokyo you want to know how far it is from. We got the train from the west of tokyo one night and it took no longer than 30 minutes.

Which Airport are you asking about I gather Narita. From Narita its a bit of a hike possibly 2.5 hours give or take a little.

I havent explored Kawaskai a lot as Ive only been there to attend a rave. But the main street kinda looked a little like middle brighton but with a cobble stone street and cream colored buildings.

Hey thanks Akeenan... :rofl:

I don't have any idea about Japan - does Tokyo have more than 1 international airport? I was looking at a map of the region, and it showed Kawasaki between Tokyo and Yokohama (being south?), with the airport between Kawasaki and Tokyo?

Is it where all the 'rough' kids go? A friend of my g/f mentioned that, but I don't know if they are joking

I'm 90% sure of coming in December, so will have to meet up with you :rofl:

Well my g/f arrived in Japan a week ago wednesday...

And I'm visiting from christmas day until the 9th!!

I am coming with an empty suitcase and a visa card - can anyone tell me the best places to go and buy bits for the GTR around Kawasaki? I really want to get all the car shopping out of the way early, so we can spend more time checking out broader japan :)

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.

      I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that.

      You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
