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...

Daniel, didn't you notice the price in yen? It's 1,234,567,890... counting up from 1 to 9... It's a joke IMO

Bloody hell, I wish I could!!! Next time Nick...I kinda stuffed up the SAUWA cruise last Sunday (had to meet family instead), and the meet up I organised at a beer factory in Fremantle wasn't the best turn out... but I did get to meet uneekwahn (Jason), GTRKen (Ken) and Nizmo (Lauren), so the Japanese girls and I had a good time.

Done...

...aaaand my next question is... how did you get your English to such a good level so as to join Skyline forums??? ;) Just kidding...Yeah I live in Kobe (as posted above). It's my wifes hometown, so I kinda *have* to like it, if you know what I mean...

Thanks for that Brad... sorry Nick!!! I'm in Perth right now mate! I'm using my Dads PC and it feels... strange...

hehe... he'll find em, eventually! Hey Ota, are you Japanese/half Japanese? (I see your name is Keisuke)

Yeah, I know who makes it... but errrr... I'"m in Perth, Western Australia right now and everythings upsidedown, backwards etc... I can get back to you in another week and a half when I"m back in Kobe, or, maybe Brian or Dave can crack open a copy of Option 2 and look for the ad with all the black FRP lower lips on it (you know the one)? The companies name is.... ...... .....aaaaargh.... nope.

Will see you at Little Creatures in Fremantle tomorrow at 5pm... see ya then.
