Very new in japan and I would like to purchase a push bike for my own transport to get around osaka as I wont be buying a car EVEN THOUGH its really cheap cos Im going back home after 3 months

My question is where can I buy a 2nd hand bike in Osaka area as I dont really wanna buy a new bike (no point) as im leaving it anyway.

Had a look at the local kansai paper no bike available for sale

Cheers!

There are THOUSANDS of bike shops all with 2nd hand bikes for sale 5 -6,000 yen for re-built ones. Just walk around a few blocks and you'll find one for sure.

Alterantively, you could "find" an unlocked (read: unloved) one on Saturday night/Sunday morning after a night on the grog...

You don't wanna do that especially when your a foreigner.

Justin, I have a little story about that, not sure if I told you. A mate of mine did just that and the cops were waiting at the train station for him that night he returned from work. Never think no one is watching. When a bike goes missing and you suddenly appear riding a newly sprayed bike, unfortunately they always suspect the foreigners first.

Bwahahahaha! Why didn't I get caught... wow in the first year I was here I must've stolen about 10 bicycles (after a long night out in Shinsaibashi) ALL of which ended up being thrown into the Yodogawa!! ;)

B-b-b-b-b-baaaaaad to tha bone...

cant you get a car for about 200,000 yen or less with about a few months of shaken left? thats what i would do and just junk it afterwards or sell it

we use to do the bike thing before, just ride it from the train station to close where i live then just leave it over there. this was back when i wasnt in the airforce yet.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.

      RB26 AWD Sump / RB25 AWD Stagea Sumps - Are they the same?

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18gsbFaYTU/ The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from

      Not feasible to fix the boot lid you had? Damage looked minor/hard to even see :p Source: Drove into something recently and you should be happy you didn't!

      Another new used boot arrived at the painters, it was sent back as there was nearly as much damage as the original one I want to replace  Finding a clean used boot lid is proving problematic, and I'm not keen on dropping $1500 on a new one from Mazda Sigh....
