Japan: toyota looks for new parts supply line in Korea 2011

Japan: toyota looks for new parts supply line in Korea 2011 - Attracting Toyota Motor: The chairman of top automaker in Japan, Toyota Motors, visited Korea last weekend to "encourage dealers and explain the process of recovery from the earthquake in Japan." But industry analysts believe that the visit otherwise. They see the visit as part of a tour to get parts suppliers for Toyota manufacturing outside of Japan, which is prone to earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Even before the earthquake and tsunami caused problems in March monstrous production, Toyota has seen a drop in sales due to the repeated reminders and a strong yen. Its production lines were closed due to power shortages and parts. Therefore, Toyota may be the active search for new power lines in Korea, geographic proximity, as well as a provider of high quality parts businesses throughout the automotive world.

Korea has benefited from its proximity to the disaster has affected Japan. Softbank has recently joined the telecommunications sector in Korea to establish a global data center in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang. The movement, of course, came amid growing fears of aftershocks increasing natural disasters.

Following the trauma of the earthquake and tsunami, Japanese companies will suffer a 15 percent cut in electricity consumption from July. Many, incuding Toyota, are preparing to move their production bases in South Korea.

According to the government about 100 Japanese companies, including Toyota, are showing interest in the south, which is close to Japan, and holds advanced port, road infrastructure and electricity.

It's too big an opportunity to miss. Rather than seeking short term gains should be able to Korea to take this opportunity by improving our manufacturing capacity to meet the demanding tastes of Japanese companies (Toyota.Motors).

Korea FTA with the EU should enter into force in July, and an agreement with the United States should be ratified quickly, making the Korean market more attractive for Japanese companies.

The Wildest R34 Skyline GT-R : Garage Ito With Prostock

This is about as wild of an R34 GT-R as you will ever see. Dino Dalle Carbonare posted up this awesome set of pictures on this insane R34 at Speedhunters.
Why do I call this the wildest R34 ?

It cost a massive $350,000 to build and has yet to see the light of day on a race track. It all started back in 2006 when Hiroya-san, a very good customer of Garage Ito in Osaka, decided to see if he could challenge the lap time record at Tsukuba set by the HKS CT230R.

350k and it hasn’t even run. From the looks of it, its close to running, but just needs a few finishing things to turn a lap.

If you looked at a lot of GT-R’s you would realize how far set back the engine was. If you know GT-R’s you would also know why this is so difficult.
Heres a different angle from the World Challenge R34. Same titanium Nismo stut tower brace. Look at the relationship of the front cover to the strut tower brace in the Prostock car.  The further you can put the weight behind the front axle, the more responsive the car will be. And that leads to the next item…the front axle.



The GT-R has the front differential built into the oil pan. You may not think that is much of a deal, except when trying to move the engine back as much as the Prostock car. The gold shaft running though the pan is the tube that contains the jackshaft for the left side axle.

The Prostock car from below.

The front differential has been pushed forward, and the axles still look like they aren’t straight. Not sure if that might hurt the car if it ever runs.  Tubular front subframe.  The tubular subframe has to drop some decent weight, and would make working on the car much easier.  Then there is the suspension. Double wishboneish, blade style sway bar. Check out the steering rack mounting.  Lots of car nerd sexiness going on there.
 
The front suspension from a different angle. The front axles look like they might not last long at those kind of angles.

More tubular subframes and double wishbone suspension. You can also see the ATTESA pump forward of the differential.

A nice short, titanium exhaust. No coolers, nothing too strange. Steel braided line to the ATTESA clutch control. Sequential trans. Stock transmission mount.
For about the last 3 years, this car has looked really similar to this. Hopefully they can eventually get this thing out onto Tsukuba , where it belongs.

R34-5 : What You Get When You Mix R34 and R35

Saw this over at the Clipping Point Blog. The pictures are from a Japanese auction, you can tell, they always look the same. Someone decided they liked the R35 so much that they would graft the front and rear onto an R34 Skyline. Interesting. Not sure what else to say than interesting.  The old saying goes, “the grass is always greener on the other side.”

Dino from Speedhunters posted up a great bunch of pictures from the HKS Premium day. In this part, the GT-R’s are out in force.

 

2.8 liters and a HKS T04Z turbo with super clean engine goodness. See the car that goes with the engine here.

 

From the Waky Mate R32 GT-R that was running at Fuji racetrack. Pretty nutty setup for a road course.

Revolfe R32 GT-R. Big single turbo. Single throttle body, off the wall fuel system.

Midori R34 RB26 that has been lowered several centimeters, lowering the center of gravity.  I would like to see some pictures of the subframe.
