Done...

The HKS Dual Dragger came about because of some ground clearance issues with the normal Super Dragger muffler on some cars, also at the time, the dual canisters were the "in" thing... most of the big-name manufacturers had their own "Dual type" mufflers. I wouldn't think performance would be any worse than a usual Super Dragger exhaust system, although it'd be a bit heavier. If performance is the important thing, the only thing I'd do is sell the Dual Dragger and get a Titanium exhaust (any brand)... the weight saving alone is worth it IMO.

Amaru lives in Australia... they have righthand drive (hence the abundant Japanese imports )

If it was my exhaust, I'd give it a good buffing and get it all shiny, and run it on the car for a while... I can't say that the Dual Dragger are THAT common, so in that case I'd hang on to it, unless of course you don't fancy the dual canisters...

Bam: Blitz are JASMA Members... is your car modified much? Nick: Post away dude

Your exhaust is an HKS Dual Dragger... it's a bit of a dated exhaust, I think they stopped production.

Watching TV and then taking a few calls would just about run the battery down too...

I haven't heard anything really, they might be going back to TI Circuit?

JASMA = Japan Automotive Sports Muffler Association. It's a standard that; if the muffler is constructed accordingly, they company making the muffler can weld on the JASMA badge. It's all about quality control, JASMA exhausts have to meet a 96db limit, amongst other things.

Actually, I think Australia is lagging behind Japan about 1 year or so when it comes to mobile phones.On another note, I saw that Plasma TVs and LCD flat panel TVs were almost as common in Australia as Japan... REALLY suprising... (exept in Japan the flatscreen CRT TV is almost dead, whereas in Australia thet still had a good selection).

The needle ran out of room... When I took that pic, I went to show the girls the camera but when I did they were all like "Hyaku hachijuu kiro? ... dake???" (Only 180km/h?) Insane... :confused:

Some more pics... The girls were trying to figure out how they could "pool" resources and purchase this house... Just to keep the Skyline theme, my brothers R33 GTS (it used to have a Hasemi Sport front bumper which subsequently got smashed to bits trying to... erm... drift (?) ) he still has the Hasemi Sport grill though. I was scared sh*tless... :Oops: Hungry, irritated and ready to devour men in one go... oh, and a pretty big dinosaur... Does anyone know whos car this is? I got my camera out to take a pic because my brother Nick (he runs Option Tinting) did the tint on it. As soon as I got the camera out, Chieko comes up and does a quick RQ pose... I tell ya it's bred into them from birth... go Japanese girls! /Rezz

Hahaha... I wondered how long it'd take for somebody to ask:)Little Japanese boys sneak up behind people (English Teachers in particular, right guys???) and assume that gesture, then proceed to jam said fingers in said gesture up your keester while you're not looking...

Yep, DoCoMo it is. The current crop of mobile phones in Japan have 2.0 megapixel cameras in em...

Has served me well in the 6 months that I've had it... Panasonic P505iS: 1.3 megapixel, 20x digital zoom, 64 meg Mini SD memory card, 3 mins total video rec time, and last but not least... a barcode reader (?)

You've had it done to you aswell have you Andrew? ... bloody kids!!!

Brian: Anything in the car (boot included) will go missing... as you've found out the hard way. Wharfies are theiving bastards, they took your wheels for sure. My buyer even told me to take out the *standard* double DIN deck out of a Mitsubishi Pajero I sent to Perth before it was put on the ship... standard stereo FFS! But I had my younger brother Trent (www.tkotinting.com ) go and get the car as soon as the ship came in. Leaving it for any longer than a day after and things will disappear. Shans right on the money about the boot locks, wheel locknuts etc... a pain to do but def worth it. Good luck trying to get compensation for your loss.

No man... thats just my day job...

It's all good... Wow, we can expand on this 10 fold. I think this is the beginning of the next phase of the Japan section... another sub-section, another moderator, more sticky threads, a new color scheme... stay tuned!!!

I'm a English Teacher/Japanese Female Entertainer/Actor/School Manager/Psychiatrist/Event Co-ordinator...

How long did you leave the car on the docks?

Resident ex-pat Brit Dave might be able to help... any of the vehicle importers will be able to source and import an AE86 to England I'm sure. Dave, know of any UK based importers topi could try?

When I hook up and have dinner with them again, I'll let you know Troy...

Just got back from Perth, Western Australia with 4 of my Japanese students. We had a g-r-e-a-t time, and 2 girls *actually* cried because the y had to leave... after only 1 week in Perth! Sorry to all the guys who I haven't relpied to recently, as you can imagine, looking after 4 Japanese ladies def takes it's toll. Some pics (with my Canon IXY 500): L to R: Chieko, Kazumi, Rie and Masami at Kings Park, overlooking the Perth CBD. The girls at Cohunu Park with... "Raymond"... The hire car: a brand new Toyota Tarago (Estima) with 150kms on the odometer. "Did anyone see where I dropped that toothpick?" ...at The Magnum Bar in Northbridge... the band was pretty good I must say. ... I bet Dave knows what that hand sign means ooooh so very well! (my brother Jon behind Chieko) They loved it, they really did... I had a brilliant time, thanks girls!!! /Rezz

I thought this thread was pretty interesting actually...
