Rezz

Micheal: will answer your question asap... I've gotta go to work now Ok, first of all, teaching in Japan is quite easy (the actual teaching part) especially if you're teaching kids. I think the long-term mental strain of having to be 'genki' (lively, happy) day-in, day-out is more of an issue. Of course, some people excel at being genki, so for them teaching in Japan is a walk in the park. As you'd only be teching part time, you shouldn't hve a problem. Most other teachers like teaching... they say it's easy money, although some can't stand children or repeating themselves endlessly. About the wine... sorry I don't have any experience importing perishables. Anybody? As for me, I teach at an English School in Osaka, I also do 'other stuff'... everybody will find out what that is next month.

There are many, many, many beer vending machines around, although I wouldn't say they are in as many locations as softdrink vending machines. Japanese society is quite different to Western society (as you probably already know), so it's quite rare to see Japanese people getting drunk sitting in front of beer vending machines... in fact I'd go as far as to say that it'd be easier to see a foreigner (Niiiiick! wink, wink) getting drunk beside a beer machine. I did see one Japanese guy... he looked unemployed... sitting quietly near a beer machine having a beer. But that was it, he wasn't legless or anything. Yes, definte testimony to the differences in social behaviour.

Ha ha... no, of course not. You can by them off the internet anyway

Should you call it an 'R35'? No... because it's a Skyline Coupe UA-CPV35.

Yes... well there were Used Panty vending machines. The story goes that in a 'Pink Business' (read: Red Light) district in Yokohama, before the days of internet auctions, business owners stocked a few vending machines with used panties because customers were too embarrassed to ask for their 'presents' over the counter (well... who wouldn't???). They didn't last very long... local authorities cracked down on the machines and all that remains are one or two about Tokyo... below is a pic of one machine taken in 2002... it's not there anymore.

It's short for 'Rezzin' or the uncool spelling version 'Resin'. A long time ago when I was a wee 15 year old, I was cutting some (insert illegal flora here) with some scissors and it was very sticky. I didn't know what the sticky stuff was until one of my friends - after rolling about the floor laughing - told me what is was. After much verbal abuse recalling that event the name stuck for some years. I use it now as a middle finger salute to the guy who made it up.

Wooooohooooo!!! Good stuff Guerilla! Those backgrounds are excellent!

I get alot of PM's asking some trivial things that really should be posted on the J-Forum so others can benefit from the info (and in turn save me from answering the same question 15 times! ). eg: "Hey Rezz, how do you say **** in Japanese?" So the rules are simple: 1 question from each member... and 1 answer from me! No whoring, I'll just delete any posts that aren't questions or answers to those questions. **Btw, those that can, feel free to correct me or add anything that might answer the question better. Thanks.

I wanna be like Mike?

Yeah, and if you understood elementary English, you'd realize that I said 'commented' not 'complimented'... big difference I still think it's

WTF: as in a bloke commenting on another guys appearance

Made some of my own pics using the 'Photo Travel' feature... suprisingly it's very involved and is quite usable. Check out some of my lame efforts:

^^^ THAT. Is mad.

^^^ the kit extends to form the leading edge of the rear wheel arch.

Cosplay = costume play... the one where the girls have got green and pink hair.

Oh no Shan!!!!! It's real!!!

PM recieved and returned

^^^ I was going to recommend Kiwi anyways... wierd.

In AU? I doubt it. In Japan they're all genuine. In AU I think a company out of Singapore called 'Avanti' make replicas called 'Viper Mesh' or something (they had a smooth lip around the outer rim as apposed to the Sparcos 'ridged' outer lip)... my brother bought a set for his Swift GTi like 10 years ago... so the genuine Sparcos are probably mostly limited to the imports you see going around.

Sparco Vipers... I had them on my R32 when I 1st got it.

I think too many Nissan 'newbies' are confusing 'Nissans Sports Heritage' with 'Turbo'... Of curse the turbo has played a big part in Nissans previous 20 years, but if you look at the whole picture, turbos are just a *part* of it... alot of you guys are writing off Nissan altogether just because there aren't any turbos in their current line-up. The Fairlady Z is a good car without a turbo! Ok, the V35 Coupe doesn't get the stamp of approval styling wise, but 280ps N/A V6? Sounds good to me...

Fellas.... Nissan got into the sh*t because of bad business practices during the 'Bubble Economy' years! What did they do during the 'Bubble' era??? They made fookin expensively designed turbo sports cars that led their respective classes and sold them for cheap!!! They designed about 28 variations of every model!!! They plugged HUGE amounts of capital into 'insta-reputation' racing teams!!! (read: they thought that no one in Europe took them seriously until they won Le Mans, WRC, Group A etc)... I could go on... What we see now is Nissan trying to make amends for the excesses of the '80s and early '90s. Think of the 'good times' Australian government under Bob Hawke... then a recession under Keating... get it? I think for all they've gone through, Nissan are doing as good as can be humanly expected right now. God I can't stand Carlos Ghosn, but I admit he's pretty good at beancounting.
