Rezz

What about now (27th March)? Are there still guys working?Oh, and bump...

Just bumping this... What can I expect as to the SAU turn out on Monday 12th April in Fremantle? Is anyone still up for meeting up? Official time, how many people etc?

I wouldn't say that... I see heaps of 'em almost every Fri/Sat in Umeda, Osaka (Race and Rice)

Beerrrrrrmmmmp. Wrong! The V35 (the G35 is merely a *model name* hung on the US delivered V35 Skyline... tis not a chassis number) IS the successor to the R34 Skyline RANGE... there is not a GTS/GTST or whatever you want to relate them to. Theres a sedan, and a coupe, in 200, 300 and 350GT versions and the Stagea wagon wariants. Thats all.Just to clarify what I'm saying about the chassis number, you don't go calling the VY Monaro (whatever it's called, IDGAF) a "GZ" (whatever) Pontiac now do you? It's just a stupid name so the Yanks don't get all confused and stay away from said new model in droves. Beeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmpppp!!! (sorry..) Please tell us SAU peeps who said the "R"35 GT-R was the successor to the R34 GT-R. Please.My only thought here is to just give people info straight... not all this bollocks speculation that comes out of the US/UK, where the GT-R wasn't even sold. If you want to do a search on all the stuff I've posted on the "The New GT-R", you'll find out that thats what the Japanese press refer to it as, "The New GT-R"! Nothing more, nothing less. So please don't post up stuff that just confuses people. This New GT-R bizzo is almost as irritating as the "Type M" argument...

I thought 2004 was the "Year of the Tool"... Well it is here in Osaka...

Mwah? "Lately, tire, RECARO, a muffler, and a car accessory -- you ask a question about obtaining -- thank you very much. This turbine is a thing with a very sufficient grade. It is on display for having the turbine exchanged and having broken the rear axle part immediately. Although I do not understand well, a price on how to send to Australia if suitable, I will need your help. As a new/old article, they are the highest quality goods. Please feel easy for we are a tuning pro shop. Moreover, parts that can be used on GTR, new articles and used, various consultation (?), I'll consider. I'll direct you to "Paul", he has a shop in Australia, who visited us. With that, I give my regards, Trend Chief-of-the-shop Morita." Something like that...

Is that them though? Have you got a pic of yours?

I don't think Fritz would be happy with you calling him a Hun, Sonic. Some of us here are German/half German foo...

Are these them (17")? They're made by Work, a Jpanese company that make some of the most popular wheels in Japan: Think these on anything from Toyota Celsiors to Suzuki Wagon R's... They're great wheels, I want Work Emotion CR Kais for my car. But as far as the best price is concerned, the best bet would be to see what some used parts places are selling them for and work a price off of that.

Not bling man, I mean stupid shit...

I'm so over people doing stupid shit to cars... it's not funny anymore. We've got the: "Uber-wing" car above, The "Star Wars" Honda CRX, The "Town Map" 180SX, The Merc/BMW/POS matt black Honda CRX from Gayville, USA The 30" Chromies Buicks Fast and Furious Rice etc, etc, etc... Oddly enough, most of it is coming out of the US.

That wing looks like a WW2 radar installation... a la Saving Private Ryan.

I made the fatal mistake of uploading a "certain" video of mine and hotlinking it to one of the busiest gaming sites in the world... I ahve exceeded allocated bandwidth for the month. It'll be back bigger and badder next month... Stay tuned!!!

Thanks muchly for the offer, but the angle from the top of the bridge of the CBD kinda hides the World Tower afaik, which is what I'm after specifically. But thats coming from me, whos never done the bridge climb... I can't say for sure if you can see World Tower or not. But I've taken pics from the walkway from the Rocks area of the bridge, and I couldn't get Centerpoint in, let alone anything behind it!

Sorry lads, since I put that vid up, my bandwidth shot through the roof. The ftp is down till next month. Is there another kind member about who has it already who could host the file?

Thats hardly something to worry about though... 3 minutes with the trimmers and voila! Most Jap birds were quite embarrassed (as in: they felt like they weren't cool) when I cited the "extra fur"... but they got rid of it sharpish. True... go easy on the poor things;)Don't forget that quite a number of Japanese girls take the fact that they're with a foreign guy to mean that they suddenly don't feel like being Japanese anymore... if you're after a nihonjin no kanojiyo because you like the "suborinate nature", well, you might be suprised/ripped off... and wind up thinking she's a right bitch. I had a friend leave Japan because of such a situation.

Women in Japan, in general (in the city) have anything from *perfectly* straight and white teeth, to some of the most rotten grey, decaying excuses for teeth you've ever seen. The majority in my experience though, are... lets just say... slightly crooked/off white/fake (fake as in they've had caps done etc). How do Japanese women react when we approach them? Some are extremely favourable, while others are indifferent, while others again are downright snobs.... much like any country really. I've been here long enough to realize that Western Caucasian Males are NOT always what Japanese women want... As far as hooking up with a Japanese chick is concerned, either try your luck with some Japanese tourists where you are, or come to Japan and try your luck here?

Yeah, links down. I'm trying to sort it asap...

The GT-R was retired last year at Suzuka, and had it's final official "race" at the '03 Nismo Festival. The Fairlady Z is running instead this year...

Holy shit Jimbo, those are beutiful pics! I wish I could take pics like that...Oh, and if you can get some shots of the entire CBD mate that'd be sweet, cheers.

'Tis a wagon... like I say, it was even featured in a Playstation game.

Cue DaiOni...

It's better if you don't speak any Japanese at all... it's just a matter of explaining things really simply, and using easy vocab. The whole idea is so that they get confidence by relying on what they've learnt already. One girl has already said to me that she'd be a little disappointed if they went all the way to Perth just to have people speak Japanese to her.

Hosting probs... I had no idea how important it is for me to stay within my upload limit...

Guys, guys... it's nothing much. If I remember correctly, it's an R33 GT-R that "Dai" from Option magazine did up about 6 or 7 years ago. I'm not sure where the hatch part came from, but the car was featured in an old playstation game called Option Tuning Car Battle Spec R wich came out in May 2000. As far as I know, it had something like 600ps... and not much else worth worrying about other than that wagon bit...
