Japan's Time Attack event of the year! Attack Tsukuba 2023!

Attack Tsukuba brought the variety this year with a huge line up of entrants from Evo and Skylines to Civics and Silvias...and of course, plenty of FD3s RX7's were present as well. This event really is worth the trip and is truly special in size and venue. Tsukuba Circuit is the home of Time Attack!

What I love most about your content is your coverage is pretty much exactly what we do at events. It really gives that feeling of actually being there. Also where has pit parking and queue management been all my life!

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

I appreciate that! I always struggle on where to land with coverage and knowing Shuboxinc and Narita Dogfight will likely have good coverage of the results, I figured it'd try to show the atmosphere and some of the smaller teams/cars in attendance. There's honestly so much there it could be a four hour video easily. And for sure, I think they doubled down on parking attendants this year versus last year. There was always a whistle going off next to you. Haha

[@martindeoliveira5128]

@@BRICKHOUSESPL that is what I appreciate about this channel. It’s a real enthusiast’s view. I also like the fact that the footage isn’t “over produced”. The production is spot on I think raw enough to convey the sights and sounds but not poorly shot or put together. I think it’s the coolest thing. Everyone knows the frustration of a busy event. Queue jumpers, people blocking your pit exit etc. Japanese culture is so cool

The event results are on the Attack website as well here: www.timeattack.co.jp/4428 A more story based approach is a good idea and would be fun to get there.

Always love time attack. Did notice one thing though, att 11:28 those welds are......yikes, need some practice lol. Maybe I'll start a mobile welding truck in Japan for track days when I'm done with the military. haha

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

That looked like it was titanium on the door bars. Super interesting part to make out of titanium. But yeah, that's always been the case. American/westerners obsess over pretty welds and Japan has a much more "if it works" approach, said as they flip down their non-auto-darkening helmet or hold their lens shield in one hand and mig with the other. It has definitely improved in recent years though. And for manifolds, Altrack, S&A Auto Create, etc really make some beautiful pieces. But yeah, the beauty of welds and wiring cleanliness aren't generally the strong suit of average Japanese builds.

[@IronLife1386]

@@BRICKHOUSESPL yeah in the west I think it's more of an art form to get beautiful yet incredibly strong welds done. Sargent for me constantly tells me welding is an art form. Plus over here the more beautiful welds(as well as strong) means you get payed much more. Wonder if there is a market in Japan somewhere for foreigners with amazing welding skills to get hired at tuner shops lol. Not as in making more money but just for general getting a job. Of course with a grasp of the Japanese language (N4 and above)

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

@@IronLife1386 I'm sure it's possible to find a position like that with enough persistence and patience. There's some business owners here really welcome to foreigners and foreign ideas/styles. If it's a dream, it might be worth putting together a portfolio of work and reaching out to shops. I know Japan takes licensing seriously for most businesses and trades, but I'm not sure how much that's looked at in the automotive customization world. Japanese work hours, pay, and lifestyle can be a huge transition (especially for Americans) so it might be worth coming on a 90 day tourist visa at first and volunteering if you've found a shop to potentially work with as a trial run for both of you before selling everything and moving across the world. A couple thousand in plane tickets and hotels will be worth the piece of mind.

[@JapanJuan]

Do you know why they have the cars with the engine running on stands? I've never seen that before.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

They're warming up the gear oil/diff/trans/basically anything moving so that way when they go out and give it the beans there's already a little heat in the systems. There isn't much driving time to do that on track - one out lap, one or two attacks, one cool down. You see it in drifting as well - raising the rear and letting the wheels spin in gear. Drifting is a lot of sitting in the pits cold and then go out for your run group without much driving to warm things up and immediately put all the stress on the systems.

[@JapanJuan]

That's so weird and sounds like the kind of thing they would come up with here in Japan. I've done my share of drag racing which like wise is a lot sitting around waiting to do one pass, but you never see them doing that.

[@Barrenchats]

Traction control is the winning bolt-on, look how fast F1 banned it

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

I'm not super familiar with F1 but I would imagine at the highest level of time attack a proper traction control strategy is one if the keys to fast times. In F1, no traction control seems like it would make for a more exciting show.

[@goodboy_aqee58]

maybe a little chit chat with the owner/driver about the car, machine check, nerdy rare parts of the car, any sort of interaction will be great... steelies wheel on that honda today is actually a forged alloy wheels

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

I 100% agree with you. Here come the excuses (haha). Basically, with the size of the event and action on and off track and then the shortened day for me, I knew it would a challenge to go super in depth. And to be honest, I get a bit apprehensive about pestering people (if they're even by their car) during their biggest event of the year even though most everyone is chill (just varying levels of busy). And then subtitles double editing time so it's just a matter of landing on a formula that works. But mindset wise, I'm right there with you - that's the kind of content I want to make. Attack Fuji is around the corner and last year it had more of a regular track day feel with a fraction of the drivers in attendance so that might be a better opportunity. Appreciate the input!

Intake manifolds are called surge tanks? 😕

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

Yeah, aftermarket intake plenums are usually called surge tanks. What we call surge tanks (for gasoline) in English are called collector tanks. OEM intake manifolds are called intake manifolds or usually "inmani" as an easier to say shortened form. But it's kind of like trunk and boot or hood and bonnet; interchangeable just depends on who's talking.

[@justin3131ify]

@@BRICKHOUSESPL interesting, but why surge tank? I mean where does the reasoning come from for it? Because as far as I can tell there is no kind of "surge" that comes from an intake manifold, is there??

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

@@justin3131ify Ummm, not sure. Maybe the same reason we call the fuel surge tank a surge tank. During times of high demand, there's extra volume to help keep up. Just speculation but that's what I always figured.

[@Andrew_460]

The T in Tsukuba is silent. You pronounce it sukuba.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

It's not a hard T sound like in English but it's not silent either. Japanese has a separate SU (す) hiragana/sound in their "alphabet," so TSU (つ) is a separate sound and it's more like a smashing of the T and the S together (with the tongue against the roof of your mouth and forcing air through). So you're right, it's not "Teh-sukuba" but it's also not "Sukuba."

[@Andrew_460]

@BRICKHOUSESPL but you pronounced it teh sukuba lol. And you werent talking in Japanese so I dont know why you are explaining how to say it in Japanese. In English you pronounce it sukuba lol. Its not that complicated.

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

@@Andrew_460 Do you dip "torteeya" chips or "torTILa" chips in salsa? We aren't speaking Spanish when we say "torteeya." Just like we're not speaking French when we say "buffay" instead of "buffit." Those are foreign loan words that we pronounce in a non-English pronunciation. There is no English pronunciation of Tsukuba. It's a proper noun. All English pronunciations of Japanese words are approximations using our roman alphabet to try and match the Japanese sounds. Sometimes it works out well like "sushi" and sometimes it's a terrible fail like onigiri (or anytime an "ri" is used really). Just to note, there's no silent T in front of sushi... because it's written with a different Hiragana (my point previously). I see what you're saying and get the point you're trying to make but it's not that cut and dry. Sure, "Sukuba" sounds more similar to correct pronunciation than "teh-sukuba" (as long as you're pronouncing it more like "skuba" and not "SUkuba). Feel free to timestamp where I said "Teh-sukuba" and I'll check it out but what you might be hearing is tsu said in a more Japanese way...going back to the torteeya vs torTILa example above.

[@mynamea.n.s.s5472]

I don’t understand skyline owners who put all this money you can get 1000 hp that looks stock I like that better

[@BRICKHOUSESPL]

I think there's definitely a different build philosophies, budgets, and starting points. Sometimes a cars engine was built years ago and now the body is being updated and then the engine will be updated again; kind of just being built in phases. The Autobahn r33 is definitely a good example of a fresh new age build. And the Anshin Jidousha super crazy bnr32 is more of a nostalgic big twin setup. And in the Pro Stock Motorsports R32 is kind of that oem+ track car feel. Definitely lots of different reasons for why cars are built the way they are.

[@pinealism]

Mate, I'm not sure if you're aware but there's a fair bit of American-centric lack of respect here. It's quite offensive in Japan to laugh about the different classes of competition.
