  1. Mr P you got to be happy with those numbers. Wont be long until you over the 450 +
  2. Payment received so this baby is SOLD !! Can mods close please.
  3. It around 500yen cheaper to ship to Honk Kong via EMS than it is to send to Oz. More likely they are made in Hong Kong.
  4. Loach sent you a pm.. Myself I've known a quite few Wedding celebrants in my time in Japan. They do the full show in english and have wedding singers as well.., the full gopsell style. They are afro americans and put on the full show. Been to a few friends wedding and its quite a good time. Full Japanese style wedding first followed by western style and after parties.. Yes a lot have to be able to speak Japanese but some don't and they make good coin. Not as good as what it was say 5 years ago but still making very good coin. Mate that does wedding catalogue modelling makes stupid coin, does tv stuff as well. Totally disagree with you about the auctions.. you should go have a suss and yo might be in for a shock A lot of Indian, Pakistani, Russian , Middle eastern crew there. A lot of them have absolute crap Japanese . Yep you might need some minimal understanding of Japanese but not a lot. I've been quite a few times and watched a guy who cant speak bugger all. all you need to do is go in the lot, check the car your interested, get the number, go back inside and wait for the auction number to come up on the screen, press your button, 15-30 secs its all over. No Japanese needed there. If you win its out to the front desk to sort paper work which the auction crew pretty much do. Take paperwork back out to the yard, give it to the bloke, load the car and go. Helps to have Japanese, yes, needed..not really but a lot better to have the skill. By the way this guy ships loads of cars to Canada weekly. My point was for the guy to go get out there and try get some experience, meet people and try get a foot in the door. Gaijin pot...one site I put to have a look at... many more and there are jobs are there if your prepared to get out and go find them. Mate if you stay in the mid set you have in Japan then teaching is all you'll end up doing.. seem it way too many times before. Applying for interviews and going the normal way you'll never get decent work. Go out and knock on doors, get in peoples faces and sell yourself. My point is, sorry but teaching english is a fall back job at best and theres heaps of other stuff out there if your prepared to have a go. Jump on the merry go round like everyone else and thats where you'll stay and when you want to go home then you'll find out quick smart that teaching english in Japan doesn't really mean very much on your resume. You really to think out of the box to do well in Japan especially now as its economy is well and truly going down the tubes. Learn the lingo, yep it will help you get there a lot faster.
  5. Its on the Gold Coast and can sort delivery to Sydney. I'm out at the moment but I'll work out a price delivered for just the 400R Bar. The whole kit is already cheap as cost you more to get one out of Japan. Its original as they come !! 100% Nismo and perfect fit.
  6. I've got this ... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/375885-nismo-genuine-400r-front-bumper-and-nismo-front-lip/page__gopid__5995045#entry5995045
  7. Seriously there is a misnomer of bullsh#t info here from muppets who have, if lucky, have lived in Japan 2-3 years and think they know it all. Has any of them worked at Japanese auction. Seriously, most of them wouldn't have a f@#king clue. I've got quite a few years living and running businesses in Japan and reckon I have a bit of an idea on how things really are. 1) You do not need any Japanese to teach english in Japan thus the reason its a great job for the brainless. (Sorry to those who are teaching) but most english conversation jobs are a mindless job that pays crap , alike it to feeding peanuts to monkeys. Thats why there is a massive turn over of "instructors" and its the easiest of jobs to get in Japan. You dont need JAPANESE !! Japane is a real easy place to live without knowing any lingo but learn it and doors will open if you have a bit of nouse. 2) Get a working holiday visa if eligible and head over. There's plenty of different types of work if your prepared to do some research, ground work and a bit of study. 3) Getting a job in a Auction house is quite possible, others here will tell you different, but you will find employers want a working visa. Check gaijinpot.com employment pages as jobs come up but be prepared to work for bugger all while you learn the ropes. Mechanical qualifications will help find work. Be prepared to work for companies other than those run by Aussies. Go to any auction these days and you'll think your anywhere but Japan. You wont see many white boys and the ones you do are mostly Russian. I know a lot of guys who run companies there, a few Aussies and Kiwis and poms but most are Indian, Pakistani and Russian. Go hit them up and volunteer and learn and make contacts. Japan is a place of not what you know but who you know that opens doors for you. go hang at the auctions, meet people and sell yourself that your looking for work. 4) Bar jobs : Plenty of work doing this. Dont work for some gaijin !! Try get work in a Japanese bar , you'll get shit pay but you'll learn Japanese fast and probably ending up spading quite a bit of candy. I worked for awhile as a male host, made more money in 2 weeks than a teacher ever could in a month, learned shit loads about Japan, made extremely good contacts and ended up very,very good friends with a extremely high ranked yak boss. Contacts like that in Japan are priceless. 5) Dont get sucked into being told there is only teaching and bar work. There's heaps of guys I know who have lived there for donkeys years and have not done a days english teaching and have made heaps of coin. theres all sorts of work e.g, lifeguards, fitness club mangers, restaurant work, hotel reception, jobs in ski areas, wedding singers, models, wedding models, IT work, construction, Marriage celebrant (this pays drug money) real estate management (lots of foreign investment properties that need management) English school boss (dont feed the monkeys, just run the zoo) etc, etc. There's a guy who I know who was drinking away his life whilst employed as a english conversation teacher. He noticed the gumball machines in Japan were not as good as the ones in the States. He bought a few 2nd hand ones from the states, threw in baseball collector cards and a few years later the guy makes millions off the things. You got to be able to think out of the box !! Dont get fooled into thinking that there is only teaching. Its for muppets and only a fall back job if all else fails.
  8. Thanks bloke I'll pass as chasing complete rust free.
  9. I'm another one with a black carbon dildo AKA 2000hp carbon tail shaft and mine like Pigazz's is now hanging on the wall in my house in Japan like a piece of art and not doing where its supposed to be e.g in my car. It was made by the same company who makes them for Trust, so the quality should have been spot on. The ones in the UK actually look like they work as finished product does look that..finished !! Mine had a few race mechanics scratching their heads and lots of sighing. I'd do a lot of research before forking out your hard earned money.
  10. These puppies are still 4 sale. Part payments accepted !!

  14. Thanx Chasing something in only very good condition and no rust. Dont give a flying #### about condition of suspension arms, just chasing the subframe.
