Been going to Japan on and off from 1985, Started up Japanese Motorsport and still continue to supply companies in Australia with Parts, Cars, trucks, etc. Now based in Adelaide I still travel back to Amagasaki (inbetween Kobe and Osaka) for a month, every 2 months.

I've been living, building cars, and racing in Japan for over 15 years now. I'm currently living in Tsuyama (Okayama-ken) but I will probably only be here for a couple more years as I plan on making the move to Hiroshima. Currently I'm wrapping up work as a Senior Network Security Specialist to focus on my exporting business.

Been in Okayama for just over a year. already set to head back in august 07. Love this place for so many reasons, but as you other guys mentioned, somethin about teaching that doesnt give you a challenge in life!

Ghost Dancer, i'm in Okayama city mate. u ever head up to okayama int. circuit? theres also a local circuit near niimi where my mechanic takes me to watch him drift.

Im here alright, in smoggy old Tokyo. been here 2 years, got married in July ( goes back to when i was still in australia ), worked for Gaba for a year, sued them for screwing me over, won that then promptly landed a job with a university. Loving this work..it even gives me time to do this stuff, plus i get paid 6k an hour..

looking to negotiate my contract for next year..we'll see how that goes but im guessing another 5 to 7 years.

came to Japan for too many reasons to count..drift, F1, the car scene..all hot, hot , HOT.

im over australia, too much grief. Japan is where ive grown a ton.

saw F1 at suzuka twice, met schumacher and alonso, ( got the photos if you need proof! alonso signed my cap, webber signed my team shirt :O ), me and poida went drifting at bigx in 2005 with team orange...( damn hiroshi's mark 2 was tough ..you shouldve seen poidas face when i scored the ride first and he thought he wasnt going to be able to go too! priceless. he was mortified ), been to a stack of other events..the usual. Got a mate with a bonafide, legit 4 door Autech version R33...that thing hauled ass. Ill post some pics of that...still trying to get him around to letting me drive it..

all this stuff has been great BUT..

i STILL dont have my Fuggin GTR!!! :dry::P

#sigh#...

Gentleman and ladies of course I live in Zama shi in Kanagawa Ken, have been here going on three years and well I am going to be a permant fixture in japan, I have a good job not teaching English or any thing of that sort. Love it here, and will love it more when I am finally able to score my GTR. Give a scream if your in the area.

Peace to you

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
