You won't wanna lug a clutch around with you throughout your trip, so I guess leave buying anything until you get to Tokyo. When you're in Tokyo, why don't you arrange to hook up with Andrew aka akeenan in Chiba (well, close enough!) and go to Crystal or Up Garage? Troy and I could help you score a clutch pretty cheaply, but like I say, you'll be lugging that thing around for half your trip...

Corvette + RB26DETT = Brilliant engine hooked up to a live rear axle with leaf springs 'n 4-speed auto... Heheh, the older Vettes anyway. Japan + US = Ghey, IMO.

Geez, they really piled on the details didn't they...

They're only compromising already compromised aerodynamics... (ie: having the lights on top).Anyways, I believe having a flap there to direct wind over the lights actually helps rather than compromises. I remember one guy who said that that flap thingy was there so that a head-up display could reflect back info to the driver of the cop car... :confused:

Beat me by 2 minutes mate...

Thats a wind deflector... it breaks the flow of wind so that those siren thingies on top of the roof don't get blown off at high speed.

Yeah ^^^^ what he said...Don' t forget our poor Korean friends, they can be 3rd generation born in Japan, but still be regarded as "gaijin" ie: no Japanese passport. But yeah, white/black people stand out the most in Japan, so they're whats stereotypical "gaijin".

I don't believe they come with center caps... Work Emotion CR

No... they can't release anymore *SR20 or RB25/26* turbos because of emissions and that those particular engines were at the end of their development cycle (read: blood old engines - new technology has to be implemented regardless of what we think).But yes, nothing really new has come out regarding the engine since this thread.

Dave, they look great against the Bayside Blue... you look like a Sunday racer now! Mmmm, Up Garage in Sydney.... now THERES a business opportunity....

...yep, same situation as far as understanding what they say goes. That 80,000 yen though was pegged at that price to scare the crap out of my mate (which it did!) but he contested it at the Police station later with some suitable back-up... his Japanese father in law! Apparently he didn't have to pay it all, and the Police where "lucky to get away with their jobs" as his dad in law said after...

Ooooooh, the only occaision where I got pulled over was in a friends car. He was doing 140-ish (?) in an 80 zone and the cop basically pulled us over with him s-c-r-e-a-m-i-n-g down the PA at us (alot of cops use a PA to "politely" ask the motorist to pull over in a *specific* place eg: just past the gas stand infront of that homeless persons cardboard mansion... heheh). Anyway, my mate got out of the car, and the cop aready knew he was dealing with a gaijin, so that just made him speak Japanese even faster :thumbdwn:, my mate was struggling to keep up. To cut a long story short, he got fined 80,000 yen for that little misdemeanor, and they apparently upped the fine because he wasn't wearing a shirt! (hey, it was summer!) Aaaaah Japan... I do love it here.

A-hehehehehe! ....No.

... you KNOW I love Work Emotions... top wheels!

Happy Birthday Dave from me and Kayo!

Cool Dave, a very good idea indeed...

Well done Dave, MUCH better pics than my lame efforts!

They cut the front of the chassis off and replace it with a tube frame... said car ceases to be a "factory" car.

Tube front ends are not f*ckin included...

Sorry Rianto but I lost you right after you said "but"...

I had a Mitsubshi Pajero Exeed... a piece of sh*t really, but it drove well and I only bought it so I could send it to Australia anyways (for quick $$$). Am in the process of negotiating a V35 Skyline Coupe 350GT Premium company car... Rest assured SAU will be the first to know when I get it.

Dave is cosistently extolling the virtues of country living... I'm almost hooked on the idea.

Hahaha... they wish!

Which one was that? The only one I remember was the Orange 6-wheeler Carolla wagon converted to a Ute...
