shining a flashlight at your car while you are driving . . . what would happen if he caused an accident because of this . . .?

"the jap" .......... do have their own brands, the same as any other country. as the others have arleady mentioned Im assuming your meaning well known brands, I used to ride with some guys who made the label .. create local design .. a few of the better shops know of the brand here in tokyo ..

im not out of here yet though, still 22 more days. seems as though I have chosen the right time though, with the exchange rate starting to increase a little . . My horse is well dead and has been for some time ,.

ive got 23 more days left in Japan,. and counting love the pidgeon toes above ...

the add states s tune spec. Nismo do both an s tune and an r tune. for the gtr. Maybe the previous owner had the engine rebuilt to s spec specifications...?

do you have books to prove these kms are original? just looking at the steering wheeling states otherwise . . .

death penalty in Japan? ............ drink driving has been going on here for ages .... if you get caught drunk, kiss your job and your life goodbye..

TORQUE (Nm) = (POWER (kW) x 9550) / SPEED (rpm)

thanks for your info mate hope you can sell yours fast

emsta thanks, unfortunatly buying a manual isnt an option as my fiance cant drive manual. Did you test drive a 1.5ltr before deciding on the 1.3ltr? I should just wait until I am back in australia and able to test drive both, im just too excited though and want to start looking at cars on carsales.

a little off topic,. but how is the "performance" or a 1.3lt Jazz? is it a zippy little thing? and if say you had a boot full of shopping and 3 people in the car is it sluggish / irritatingly slow? Ive been looking at getting one of these but was swaying more towards the 1.5ltr vtec engine. Not only because of the slightly larger engine but also because of the paddle shifts(in auto).

heres some decibel comparisons http://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/loudness.html . 89 decibels is very quiet for a car exhaust and there is no way you could be under with any free flowing aftermarket exhaust on a gtr

terry and beau thanks for sharing these pics! absoultely amazing. the shot of the street with shops along side and the elementary school boy walking with his bag is one of my favorites

really looking forward to seeing some of these. have seen some "old japan" in my girlfriends family photo albums but not most of the places youve mentioned ..

well i have food poisoning for the 2nd time in 1 year . not good for my motivation ps: nice pics rb20silvia

When I first looked for an apartment I had some troubles and it took about 3 or 4 vists to different estate agents before I found one that would rent to me. I moved again last year and was lucky. Found a very nice sized apartment and I was able to rent it. The real estate company rang up the owner and asked if would be alright. And it was no problems. From my experiences most real estate agencies are full of rude racist arseholes. Ive also found that if you work for an english conversation school you have even less of a chance renting. I have always been asked if I work for one. When I told the last real estate company I didnt he said I was lucky... as they are seen as a not so stable form of employment ..... dont know why hehe

good, thanks mate your posts have given given me some reassurance cant wait to get back.

any pics of the car?
