Rezz

Dave: very stylistic mate... well done! I may have to step up to the challenge and get some pics of some of the local Perth (West Aust.) Skylines in the same manner while I'm there next week.

Nope... Have you tried Kazaa? Hahahahah! Sorry man, it may not seem like it, but I'm computer illiterate.

I don't use "OCR" packages... I've got real-life Jap translator... she cooks and cleans too!

Pretty funny captions he's got under each pic... Enkei "wheels" indeed... But I can't help feel for the guy, aside from the few errors, he sounds like a real car enthusiast.

Theres a place called "Kobeya" just up the road from me, a family restaurant type place that was once just a bakery. Now they have all these home style chicken, meat, fish and seafood dishes with vegies smothered in butter and gray and... well, you get the idea, anything that tastes that good MUST be bad for you. But the bread they have there is just awesome. It's soooooo tasty, they must put huge doses of monosodiumglutimate in...Kobeya Restaurant I had this one:

Hey Andrew, some pics from around your way wouldn't go astray...

Dave, those pictures are brilliant!!! **p.s. I was going to post up some Sakura pics too from down my way... you beat me to it!

Call the "Nichigo Center" 9325 4441 and tell them that you can have boarders stay with you. You might have to have Police Clearance etc, but I'm sure they've got people that they can send to you.

Yes I have... VERY tasty stuff!!! The bread is a-w-e-s-o-m-e.

Good question... Y`know, my Jap friends always say something like "look at that number plate, you can't get those number plates..." when a Yakuza-type Toyota Celsior goes past with those *...9* number plates, like, only one big number on them. Are they personalized plates?

The girls wanna checkout Fremantle first, so lets meet at 5pm. Thats: 5pm at Little Creatures on the 12th... ok gang? We'll be there come what may, so even if only 1 guy comes along it's no problem.

These girls just got their "Apple Licence"... just such an occaision to stick their fingers up in defyance! Sorry ... heres a better pic of a Japanese licence plate:

Right... so from what I can gather, we're gonna meet at xxxxxx at xxxxx o'clock?

Better not take your Grandad here then...Lets not let this get out of hand fellas. SuperGimp, I aswell as other guys on this forum are married to Japanese... just letting you know.

Get you buddies to come over and have your girlfriend cook for 'em in a skimpy outfit? I don't know, there probably ARE Hooters type places in Japan... it's just that you have to be Yakuza (or a cashed up salaryman) to gain entry.

Sounds like a business proposition to me...

Chritian and other Admins, Is it possible to have a banner on the front page of SAU linking directly to the Japan section? (banner with some kind of flash thingy with q's like "Interested in Japan? Click here for the Japan section"... or something like that? Also, would changing the color in the Japan section be out of the question? You know, like Japan (or Nissan/Nismo) theme? Dark Red and grey/white or something? I'm sure theres a decent couple of colors we could use. I've got some big things planned coming up ('04 Nismo Fest, Race Queen photo shoot with V35s and interview, JGTC round review, possible D1 round aswell)... so whaddaya say?

...and so it goes...I figured after that post by Troy, nows a good time to mention the 2nd and 3rd generation KOREANS that are being "allowed" to live in Japan... on a Korean Visa. Yes, thats right... they're parents as well as them were actually born in Japan (Grandparents immigrated), yet they get issued a Korean passport... can't speak a word of Korean, and have never even been (or want to go) there. Take my Dad for example as a flipside to the situation... comes from Germany m-d-1950's, stays in Australia until 1975 (when changes to dual-citizenship laws happened in Germany), thats when the German governments says "Mr Karow, are you or are you not a German citizen? If you intend on staying in Australia, please revoke your German passport, and become an Australian citizen." Tell me somethings wrong with the Japanese setup...

Guys can we sort a *definate* time and place to meet? Pretty please?

Yes Dave, the same goes for Aussies...Aparently, people with New South Wales drivers licences have to get proof of pssue date from the place that issued the licence. Not so for Western Australian (ex)residents, the issue date is already there! other than that, it's as simple as the Brits have it.

The Skyline Coupe 350GT (and the 350GT Premium) is the only grade of Skyline Coupe available. AT or MT, with 17" wheels (350GT) or 18" wheels + Brembo brakes (350GT Premium), I think the V35 is more a "Sporty" specced car than the luxury style G35... different specs for different markets... although this is the first "Skyline" to be sold in the US, Nissan (Infiniti) could of put a microwave in there and it probably wouldn't have hurt sales.

In 12 months there'll be at least 2 *V35 Skyline Coupe 350GTs* (as opposed to the Infiniti G35 - lefthand drive version) in Australia for sure... I'm exporting them.

Some fatalities in the last pic for sure...

Put the bong down man...
