Holy crap, this is great. Thanks so much Rezz, Dave, et al. Must... not... sell all belongings... must not... move to... japan... One day. When I've finished my degree and had enough of this job. I'd love to get an IT job in japan, but I think it'd be rather hard, considering I"m gaijin... probably better to just get an english teachers job.

Could I get some photos please: s.eiby@cqu.edu.au

Shame to see it go Phil, ... but like Steve said... if you decide to stock it... put me at #2 on the list.

Scary, yet when you live in a town like I do, where a bashing of some 20 year old by a pack of aboriginals is fairly commonplace, it'd almost be boring.

Just to add another direction to this thread... ... what's the ratio of performance/sports cars to family/normal cars in Japan? Is it like australia where's there's oodles of falcadores or are 80% of Japanese complete car nuts?

And he's had at least 3 years more experience at speaking Japanese than me, so bah, I say, bah! Evo_Lee: Iie, australia-jin ga ichiban desu... igirisu ga ni-bomme desu yo! I think I'll stop sidetracking this thread now.

Whoops! Er... sciby-san wa baka desu yo. (I'm still a way beginner in it, I'd love to live in japan... nothing like immersion learning. )

to add a bit onto the gaijin explaination... Jin is a suffix that means 'persons' or 'people', so Australians are literally 'Australia-jin', japanese are 'Nihonjin' (Nihon = Japan), english are Eigo-jin... add 'Gai' which (afaik) 'outside', and you have gaijin, meaning 'outside people'... I'm doing japanese as a subject for my uni degree, which I'm doing externally at the uni I work for... I've always been facinated by the jap culture, and learning the language is a complete eye opener... sounds a bit fruity, but it's very rewarding... but I'm still learning, and some of it is challenging... Nihongo ga sukoshi hanashimasu. I'm hoping to get an IT job in Japan, but I'm being realistic... from the stories of racism and hyper-compeditive job markets, it may be difficult. Edit: Some more on the gaijin thing... you've got 'gaiteki' which translates to both 'outside' and 'foreign enemy'... so I guess you could say that (like a lot of stuff in japanese) it has several similar meanings... outsider, foreigner, alien, etc.

Just to add to the tarago mayhem: dialup beware: big photo Not quite as impressive as 180kph, but I did make 4 grown men all scream "NOOOOO!" as I lunged across at the radio to turn up a song I liked on a long sweeper.

If all else fails, take it to a certified auto electrician that deals/specialises in performance cars... no doubt he'll know a few tricks.

heh, got all excited, then realised blue stripes on a blue car would be... unh... stupid.

Erm... whoever buys it, wanna take it to a bodykit shop and get it copied for the rest of us?

Thanks for the info, tom... on first looks, it just looks like the lower fins are just bent upwards, the tube itself doesn't appear to be bent or punctured... but no offence to Lindsey, I'd rather not buy one that I may have to spend extra $ to get it leak tested and then possibly repaired... I'll have a think about it anyway.

Hi Lindsay, thanks for the link, but I'd prefer undamaged.

Ben, it'll be approximately 250mm x 250mm x 70mm? About that... Xcop89, you have a PM, btw.

Just to add a helpful hint in, it'll cost about $80-100 to get that size grill repainted... I've got the same thing... they fit well and look tidy. Good luck with the sale.

Hi guys, As the topic of the thread sez, I'm looking to buy an R34 GT-T stock intercooler. I'm also happy to consider other coolers that will fit the stock location of an R33, and without much fuss in the plumbing department. I'm looking to spend around $150, as this seems to be the going rate for an R34 cooler, when you can find one. Also, I'm now also after an Apexi S-AFC. I'm looking to spend as close as possible to $250, and it must have all the wiring, don't care about the stand. Feel free to PM me. cheers Sciby.

Maxx, you have a PM.

It's Sunday for everything? Erm, isn't that going to throw a lot of people out? Especially if you're put up fliers everywhere.

Aim high? What choo talking 'bout willis?

Gee, there's an unexpected remark.

Hi, I'm interested in getting some of the thin weather strips that run above the windows. They need to be *black*, not the horrible ghey pinky-brown faded colour that mine have already gone. If you've got any that are definitely black, let me know, we'll sort out a price. Sciby.

Well, even if I do attend the car show this weekend (which is looking less and less unlikely thanks to stupid amounts of assessment I have to get in in the next week), I certainly won't be able to attend any celebrations that night.

Er, would you two like some time alone together?

Squizz, when are you moving out stuff from the Rocky house? My spoiler and car stands are still there. :S
