Hi guys, My mate back in adelaide has had some gang waste his skyline R33 body. He wants to know if this roof is fixable without replacing/welding another on, and approximately how much it would cost to fix the roof? cheers for any advice!

Hi all, I'm livin in Shinagawa, Tokyo and my current car (rx-7) is in Kobe bout to be shipped to OZ for sale. Anyone know if there are there any places that rent out cheap cars for track days around Tokyo? near fuji raceway etc.?

Been in Okayama for just over a year. already set to head back in august 07. Love this place for so many reasons, but as you other guys mentioned, somethin about teaching that doesnt give you a challenge in life! Ghost Dancer, i'm in Okayama city mate. u ever head up to okayama int. circuit? theres also a local circuit near niimi where my mechanic takes me to watch him drift.

i think us gaijin get away with a heap of small things but when it comes to something sizable we get deported! one of the guys in my prefecture didnt pay his taxi fare, then was caught by police and didnt show them his alien reg. card, was thrown in jail for two months and the local board of education asked him politely to resign from his job and leave japan! all this because he was drunk and just didnt think about paying the taxi at the time, and leaving his alien reg card at home.

if u want some random pics of a JET's life in Japan, check out www.jarekpolak.com check out the sexy uni girls from f*kuoka! they are smokin hot!

think theres a good half dozen of us in Japan. I'm way outta tokyo thou, closer to osaka.

yeh i think ill just do girls/party in osaka... wait till TAS for the modded cars and modded girls ^.^

so whats the deal with the tokyo motor show coming up on 22nd? is this just new cars on display? worth going to? deciding whether to check that out or party in osaka this weekend.

wow that looks shit hot! that will definately take us into the new generation of car design if they release it. rear reminds me of a ferrari though!

hand pick a car "while" your in Japan for 10 days? good luck!! 10 days isnt enough time for auction cars, so you'll be limited to car yards. personaly, I would try to find a dozen cars you'd want online or through an agent and use those 10 days only to test drive and see them; then finaly pick one to send off. Either way, your going to need an agent in Japan or friend to de-register the car, do other paperwork and send it off on the ship australia bound. In case you dont have the money TT'd to Japan in time you'll also need someone to complete the transaction. if you have some serious money to spend on a serious track car you always have the option of the big name workshops but big names come with big price tags. thing is.. do you or your friend speak any Japanese or do you have any friends that live in Japan with good language skills? most likely most ppl will have limited english ability if at all at the workshops.

will definately be there!

double post

u mean Fuji san? ill be there this weekend with a bunch of gaijin climbing at 10pm saturday night to catch the sun rise sunday morning

now ive heard different opinions on this matter... i thought, under the personal import rule you could bring in a modified car ie. the ones most of you mentioned. BUT supposedly; from a source that purely works in exporting cars from Japan, I've been told that even under the personal import rule the car has to be as stock standard as under SEVS and the most people are under the misconseption that they can be modified (like i was). does anyone know the fact?

if u got enough money go nsx. would love to own one !!!! im in the same situation right now! ive pretty much boiled it down to .... rx7 series 6 5speed turbo for a number of reasons, but your situation might b diff. sheit!! loud ass siren outside!! this is my first typhoon in my life that ill be in! probably just a little flooding in my area.. no where near as bad as kyushu

been here a month!! so suck on that

nice pics mate! makes me wanna go to my local race circuit!!! do you guys have a website that sums up japan wide race events? or do you just check your local track schedule?

im hitting just over a month and that mail definately hits home! so funny seeing people that have been here a few years competing with gaijin behind the bar at clubs... the most ive heard so far is what level of the japanese proficiency test have you done! although most of the gaijin ive met on the street are ultra friendly, and none as yet has given me the turf rivalry!

yeh i saw that silvia, for 600au thats a deal! ill have a look around yahoo and see if theres much around my area. cheers mate

hmm ive been told to stay away from yahoo auctions when it comes to whole cars.... in fact by david zozuk himself! he had a bad experience once but then again he's reluctant to bid for me as im living in another city and he says its a head fluck to reg a car in another city, so im thinkin i might need to find someone in okayama ken... aussie bar here i might go check out.. says he can hook me up anyways, back to my sho chu.. talk soon will come down to osaka soon and hook up

shame its so far away from me, otherwise i'd be there in a second! im yet to see any car action! cant wait! post up pics mate! rezz, do you know any1 with USS or HAA auction access? i'd love to get an rx7 asap and auction seems the way to go, but most of the export websites charge a similar amount as if i was buying from oz.

Thanks champ, I just got to japan two weeks ago on JET and they decided to give me a week holidays already! so from tuesday im off for a week. was thinkin of goin to osaka for the roots concert! was also gonna head to kobe to visit a friend so if you got some spare time to give me some tips that would be sweet. oh and maybe you could recommend a hostel in kobe/osaka cities?? Cheers Polski

on a car note... what are some good places, maybe websites or dealerships i could pick up a nice car? thinking either skyline, rx7 or mazda6? yahoo auctions is dodgy i hear when it comes to car bodys and i dont have a license for any auctions so whats my best bet? cheers in advance

good to see your seeing the positive out of your redundency. i remember you saying a while ago that you wanna leave so maybe its just the kick that ya need! good on ya mate for putting so much time into answering everyones questions (even the lazy questions)

Thx for the tips... Tokyo definately wasnt as cheap as i thought it would be with electronics. .. i'm in Okayama now and will head to kobe and osaka in a few weeks ... i'm told they're a heap cheaper there cheers for that rezz, tried to search for it in dotars but didnt find it peace
