Not much at all man.
Put the head back on the motor after i changed the head gasket, just need to make sure all the wires and vacuum lines are plugged in correctly and bolt the exhaust manifold on properly.
Might get it running over summer and sell it, want to buy a tow car, but i already have 3 cars and need to sell to make room.Drinking Enthusiast with a Car ProblemComment

Back from Japan
Story time: I'll write up about my trip here in installments and there is too much to write
SO, I just got back from Japan Thursday afternoon after spending just over 2 weeks over there and OMG was it amazing fun.
Day 1 Wed 31st
We left Melbourne on a flight to Gold Coast at 6am.
We were flying with Jetstar, so I was prepparing myself for the worst, but lucky we randomly got exit isle seats, so I did not have any problems with leg room.
Arriving in Gold Coast, we had 3hrs until our flight to Japan, so after collecting our baggage and checking in for the Japan flight we had some breakfast of Red Rooster and kicked back trying to pass the time.
For the Flight to Japan I have pre-booked exit isle seats, so i could stretch out and try and have a sleep on the flight.
But because the flight was durring the day time I was stuggling to get a decent sleep, maybe a couple of 1-2 hr stints of sleep.
We got to Japan at 7pm and the first thing we did after collecting our luggage and going through customs is get some BOSS Coffee
We then got out hire car and the hire car man assured us that the GPS was set to English.
At the airport we picked up one of the hotel brochures, as we did not have any accomodation arranged in Tokyo.
As we left the airport in the direction of Tokyo, we decided that we should try enter the phone number of the hotel into the GPS, so we could go there.
This was the point we realised that the GPS buttons and the menus are all in Japanese. After poking a prodding the GPS for a while, we eventually found the correct page for entering the phone number and we were on our way. Lucky the GPS at least spoke the directions in English.
We wanted to stay off the tollways as we have heard that they could be rather expensive, so we took the "scenic" route.
On our way we came accross a few car dealer yards with some interesting cars in stock, Chasers, Mark 2s, S15s, S14s, 180sxs, AE86s.
We also stopped by our first Mos Burger where we used our finger pointing skills to order the food from the menu.
The burgers are good, but damn they are small.
We also stopped by some random shops, to check them out and see if they have free WiFi.
One shop had a large selection of Hyper Rev mags and I bought a Sivia/180sx issue.
We continued on to the hotel, arriving at which we have found that it was already closed for the night... this left us somewhere in Tokyo with no accomodation...
So we proceeded to drive around Tokyo trying to spot hotels or find WiFi where we could search for the hotels on the internet.
We did find an area full of hotels, but none of the reception clerks spoke english and did not want a bar of it...
At this point it was around 12am and we had to make some kind of a decision...Drinking Enthusiast with a Car ProblemComment

So after having a discussion we decided that we shall start driving in the direction of our first destination for our trip, R31 House.
As we set off driving we kept a look out for any other hotels on our way, albeit not having much luck we tried to stop in a carpark at Maccas to have a sleep in the car, but were woken up by a staff member who from what we could guess was telling us to move.
We continued forth with our journey stopping at Royal Host for a 2 or 3am snack(the chicken pieces I ordered were so damn delicious), then we finally came accross a carpark where we were able to get a decent 2-3hr sleep.
This whole journey we were staying off the toll ways and taking the 'national' roads.(bad idea)
Our breakfast was a stop at 7/11(7 and 'I' holdings) for some bouritos and hot BOSS coffee
We countinued along and realised that our current pace was way too slow to get to R31 House by mid-day, as most of the roads we have been traveling had speed limits <60 and the roads themselves would have made for some great touge. We took the next avaiable entry onto the toll way and were finally making some progress.
We were hovever surprised when everyones kept flying past us when we were doing 100 down the freeway, so we picked up the pace to move with the rest of the traffic.
It apears that everyone in Japan travels at 20ks over the speed limit and some even more.
As we have finally made it to the area that R31 House was in, we stopped by a large supermarket where everything was ridiculously cheap.
A friend bought a slab of BOSS coffe for a little over $20, while I stocked up on some beers.
As we were nearing R31 House, I spotted a nice looking R32 in a convenience store carpark, so we pulled over to check it out, as it was one of the first nice cars we have seen driving about on the street. The owner has just walked out of the shop and got in the car with his friends when we pulled in. He saw us taking a photo of the car as he was leaving the carpark, so he stopped in the middle of the road with traffic lining behind him and did a burnout. (Who said Japs don't do brakies?)
The people lining up behind him did not seem to mind at all.
We continued on and R31 House was just 500m or so down the road. You couldn't miss it, as there was a sea of R31s everywhere.Drinking Enthusiast with a Car ProblemComment
