"But the stages suit me and the car so we will attack in the first loop of stages because we are always quick in the first pass," Young said.
Young has been working in Perth recently to earn more money to fund his fledgling international rallying career and fund repairs to the car.
Meanwhile Green, who is a strong contender to finish this year's championship in a podium position, says the MRU Motorsports-prepared Subaru Impreza WRX in which he won July's Rally Malaysia needed almost no work at all leading up to Rally Hokkaido.
With more than 40 years of competitive motorsport behind him, Green plans to do some testing in Japan.
"Because we've competed here 10 or so times before, we know what to do with the car."
Green is just 10 points behind second-placed Scotsman Alister McRae. With 39 points up for grabs for the winner in Japan, Green is hopeful to move further up the leaderboard but is wary of Indian driver Gaurav Gill who is only three points behind him in fourth.
Rally Hokkaido is the penultimate round for Green and co-driver Fleur Pedersen, of Havelock North.
While reliability has been Green's strong point throughout the season, he admits that with Japan's tricky roads anything can happen and "motorsport always holds a surprise somewhere".
The final round of the championship for Green is Rally China, held on October 26 to 28.
