Hasemi Motorsport rims... well done

Thanks Polski, I added your post to the "Super Japan Links" thread

Neither do Australians... except for maybe Simmons.

Hehehe! PWND! The kaji (Japanese character) for "Osaka" in that link is wrong!It should be "大阪".... ... Geez they should've checked with the Japan forum before making that website!

Please don't post up pics... it'll make me cry

From what I've seen (and I've spent the majority of my time in Japan in Kobe, home to the "Yamaguchi-gumi", the largest Yakuza group in Japan), the Yakuza don't really modify their cars... they just get around in the biggest black sedans from Japan or Germany that they can find... with single digit number plates of course. As for VIP, Umeda in Osaka is a good place to see some crazy VIP style on Fridays and Saturdays, and I'd agree, the younger guys do get around in older Celsiors and Presidents, and tend to be more extreme in the wheel and audio department. The "late-model VIP" guys are usually connected to a shop (ie: Junction Produces #2 customer) and have huge cash reserves OR (and I say "or" in a very general kind of way) they *modify their Dads car*... I've spoken to a couple of J-guys about this, and it seems that this is one way they get around the huge expense of owning their own late model VIP 22-inch monster. As for American immitation VIP style? I hope you're referring to Yank tanks, because if the Americans have stolen yet another Japanese style and calling it their own I'd be pretty disappointed...

Bwahahaha!!! I K-N-E-W he was batting for the other team!!! lolTroy... tomorrow mate, we'll pick up the R32 and cruise down to Kobe or something for dinner (with Kayo )

That car (or it's twin brother) is in my Photo Diary... it's registered in Kobe... Endless are very very cool.

Try and get their s15 faced S14 from Saurus Shan... private import ...I've got my own *very* special import coming down under soon...

Nice car man... luvly... but wrong section! Moved.

aybee is right... the Japanese plates are of course proprty of the Japanese government so they want them back when the car is deregistered. It's normal proceedure anywhere so I don't know why people think Japan should let their plates be given to anyone who wants them... They're big ugly things anyways... whats to like?

Warning: No pointless whoring or immaturity in here. You know why I`m posting this, it's just a warning so don't get upset.

GRUNTN: Caps lock dude... theres caps lock protection on SAU. See those black wheels on the GTS-t in my sig? Those 17x8 +32 rims needed a 3mm spacer to clear the front brake calipers... (Type M)

I don't know of any sites in AU, but you'd definately want at least 17x8 +32 on the front, and 17x9 +32 (+35 or so) on the rear. Officially in Japan at least, 9" onthe rear of R32 GTS-ts are too big, they quote 8.5" as being the maximum width... but we all know 9" go on the back with correct offset somewhere around +35. Btw, try and go for a Japanese brand if you can, most wheels made in AU are either to narrow or the offsets are too high ie: for FWD.

Very nice! So there are a few Autech version GT-Rs in AU... cool.

It sure doesn't look like a Nismo kit to me... way too "copied" if you know what I mean.

Unless you were always buying from a specific auction (say "USS" in Osaka) I don't see how you can get someone to check the car out? I take it you're talking about some kind of "RAC" check? I mean, thats what the auction grading system is there for. Hell, I could got and check the car out if it's in Kobe or Osaka, but I'd need to talk to the guy who bid for the car on your behalf, so if that was the case he could do the check for you... have I got the wrong idea?

Office Wave seem to be a Hospital receptionist/office lady staff agency, which has only fit young lasses on it's books... hence the RQs at the D1... I understand clearly! :confused:

Yes, yes, yes... I knew that... just curious as to why you called it a Stagea GTR when it's not.

Wtf is a Stagea GTR?

Stuck it up there Laurence, cheers man.

Stickied... thanks Gojira.

Yes... I think. What was the question again?

Well done Lukas, thanks! Good idea too... about the race tracks. I can do TI Circuit Aida and Suzuka Circuit Mie, and possibly Central... can some of the Tokyo guys post up info about Fuji, Tsukuba, Motegi etc?

Theres a long, long history at Nurburgring, and the Japanese have to be a part of it. They're a major car manufacturing nation so it's a good "hunting ground" so to speak, eg: Nissan can challenge Porsche etc on their home turf (with the GT-R... not just individual lap times, but the Nurburgring 24hr endurance race etc).
