Kris, you are not far off mate. and I think Nick meant everything minus:

food

parts

beer

parts

camera

parts

basically 3 grand will get you:

plane ticket, cheap accomodation, 4 day rail pass and travel insurance.

that's it. how much extra cash you will need will depend on what you want to do. but even if you are not going to buy anything I would suggest you will need $100 AUD per day just to get around, eat, and do stuff.

Dont forget to allow 10,000 yen or so for fraudulent vending machines that rip you off - theiving asahi vending bastards.

Just so you know im flying out this Saturday... I'll post my Japan cell phone number if you need to make last minute requests!

I'll keep my eye out for those dodgy Kirin machines - Asahi is better anyway.

I'm also doing the Sapporo all you can drink factory tour this time :)

Daikoku is in central Tokyo? Easy enough to get there?

I have booked my holiday to Japan around the weekend of the Tokyo Auto Salon 2006.

Can't wait! From what you guys have said, looks like I have budgeted about right too so thats good to know.

Daikoku parking is in Yokohama. not easy to get to unless you have a car, and a local to drive it there. taxi may get you there but it won't be cheap. no train access, no walking access. car only.

There will be plenty of us there for TAS 2006 once again.

Daikoku is easy if you have a car or better yet, are being driven by a friendly parts shop owner in his modified Aristo :)

Looks like Im gonna have to find a shop owner with a modified Aristo then :-p

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
