Going to Tokyo for first time, what to do? - Page 5 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Seriously on a bullet train, I was on the nozomi, which I think is the fastest one? if not, close and I couldn't look out the window. It was going so fast I was getting sick... seriously... its far to Tokyo, so its a good idea to fly too.... Its nice...

I believe the train you took was the fastest one. The pass I got allows me to only ride the one just below it. So I'll be going 155-ish, vs your 175mph train.

I'd rather experience the train than taking another flight anyway.

Yea I'm just outside of Tokyo. I'm not sure yet but i will be talking with the owner of Axis Auto and the owner of M technix. They help us find track days to go to. I usually get 1 or 2 track days a month. Usually Fuji Speedway because its closer. But i really want to go to Ebisu. Its open everyday so we are planning to go there.

Is there a train I can take out there to your area? A track day would be cool to see.

Damn I'll be back home by then...

I'll be in tokyo until about the 20th. Oh well.. I'm sure I'll be back.

Sl3KA · 09-10-2009, 01:55 PM

I'll be in Yokosuka for a while, it'll be my 3rd time there. Tried all the food, I eat like 5 times a day when I'm there. Did all the tourist stuff... now I'm trying to go see some car stuff... ebisu? I can't read Japanese so the official website doesn't help. If anyone know any events going on or where I can get some parts for S13/S14 please let me know... Thanks!

Not sure. I'm meeting with the company we buy from in Fukoka for a few days. I have no idea what is planned for me while I'm there so I'm not sure how much time I'll have in Tokyo. At the very least it will be 2-3 days.

I'm hoping the work related stuff only ends up being a full day, but I'm sure that won't happen.

Which day?

A31CEFIRO · 10-09-2009, 09:26 PM

There are always track days here. All you have to do is sign up and go. I will know more when it gets closer. Usually 2 or 3 weeks ahead of time.
