Hey all,

Will be in Chiba at 12 thursday, anyone going to be at the holtel or thereabouts? Richard, my supplier knows the guys at cruise power and will get you some stickers (will be sent in one of my cars in container due end of feb), didnt have time to get some myself.

Cheers,

Ken

if anyone wants to head out to upgarage ill be checking it out tommorow and can show ya where it is. catching from shibuya, bout 30min away.

Could you possibly give me detailed directions to Upgarage in Chiba (and any other nearby shops)?

Tomorrow is my last free day here (fly out Wed) and I was thinking about going to Chiba. I have a tour of the Imperial Palace (Tokyo Station) at 10am and I plan on heading to Chiba immediately after that.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the TAS meeting went down like a lead balloon.

On behalf of Richard, James and myself, I'd like to thank those who failed to show.

kthxbye

Ait, lucky we met up at Makuhari station as it should be the Kahim-Makuhari station most of the ppl should met up at.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
