cripes/...

But the question is this and you havent categorically denied it..

Are you a member of an undergorund drift association? Do you have Yak ties? Do you redline your car and blip the godfather tune around suburbia at 3 in the morning?

well?? Do ya? PUNK?!

Well... I went to hospital regarding my pinky finger last year and I can categorically confirm that I did infact talk to an actual Yakuza boss walking back to my house yesterday. But unfortunately I am about as Yakuza as Ghandi :)

They had video of me drifting from a fixed camera and an undercover incar camera (in a Silvia!!!), also my name was beaten out of one of my fellow foot soldiers who I expect to disembowl himself to gain my forgiveness.

that sucks balls mate. I asked some friends about it around chiba but they said the real crackdowns haven't hit there yet. but i know jesse told me of a friend of his that copped a similar treatment to you, but with a bonus of 2 weeks in the clink thrown in for good measure. his story was the same. caught on film at nanko, and came knocking on his door months later.

seems like nanko is NOT the place to be drifting any more :) sad times indeed.

500,000 yen fine is massively extreme too.

justin, that is a f**ked up story as well! being coerced into taking someone for a quick blast then slapping the cuffs on when you get back! crazy.

hmm not sure if this is sarcasm or not.. hehe. good luck with paying the fine.

lol, neither am I. that's what makes the internet so much fun.... I was sure it wasn't, but now you've raised the doubt in me. hmmmmm :rant:

hmm not sure if this is sarcasm or not.. hehe. good luck with paying the fine.
Nah it isn't, the way you jump on people if they say "Jap" etc you obviously love Japan and its people a lot more than I do.

I would like to know why... and I think that is one of those things that I would have to see to truly understand.

But I know for sure that my shed of a 200SX and I wouldn't have four pages in a magazine that sells at Circle K back in Oz >_<

Nova may have funded some of your fun here mate but the sooner you get outta there and into ALT work..or better.. the better off youll be. ( i happen to work at a university btw )

trust me..i did one year at Gaba ( Pete and i did our induction training together ) and that was enough!!

i ended up suing the company and got 500k out of them..

precisely the same amount youre getting charged for by the looks of it :D

did they actually catch you drifting?? or was it a case of " we know you did it, but we didnt actually see it happen"?

Man, you took Nova to court? Thats what I should have done. I got a repremand for "dating" a student one month before our wedding. My AAM was basically telling me to break it off or loose my job. What a tool! It turned out better finacially for my now wife to quit Nova and then I found a better job in another company. So they lost a good teacher and a good student!

I have to say I loved the Nova experience. Part-time visa, heaps of overtime meant I was earning more then the full timers.

Anyway, I've been back in Melbbourne for 5 months now, and my wife and I miss Hiroshima greatly.

A guy at Nova got done for drink driving on the weekend and ummmm... well this story.

ICHIKAWA — Police obtained an arrest warrant Tuesday for a 28-year-old Japanese man after they discovered the naked body of a 22-year-old British woman buried in sand in a bathtub on the balcony of a fourth-floor condominium unit in Chiba Prefecture on Monday night. The man, Tatsuya Ichihashi, fled from the condominium in the city of Ichikawa when police officers visited it on Monday night after the Nova language school the woman worked for contacted them to say they had been unable to reach her. The police said they have identified the woman as Lindsay Ann Hawker.

Ichihashi, who escaped from the scene despite the presence of several police officers, is being sought on a charge of abandoning her body sometime in late March. Police said he was acquainted with Hawker and may have been involved in her killing.

After Ichihashi made his getaway, police searched the apartment and found Hawker's body in the bathtub on the balcony around 10 p.m.

The bathtub contained a large amount of sand that completely covered the body except for part of a hand, and she had what appeared to be several assault wounds to the face and arms, according to investigations. Some clothes that Hawker appears to have worn were found in a room at the condominium.

The exact cause of death is expected to be determined through an autopsy, police said.

Hawker arrived in Japan in October last year and lived in a residence in Funabashi city adjacent to Ichikawa with two other women — one from Australia and the other from Canada.

The school in Tokyo where Hawker worked as an English language instructor notified the police Monday afternoon that they could not contact her.

Police officers visited Hawker's residence and found a memo containing Ichihashi's name and contact details and visited his condominium Monday night. When the officers questioned the man, he bolted, they said.

Ichihashi, whose profession is unknown, is said to be around 180 centimeters tall and weighing around 70 kilograms. He was wearing a red sweater at the time of his escape.

Police searched Ichihashi's condominium Tuesday morning and found a bag and ID belonging to Hawker. Police said Ichihashi had visited Hawker's residence a few days earlier.

The bathtub is about 120 centimeters long, 70 cm wide and 50 cm in depth. It appeared to have been removed from the bathroom, the police said, adding the sand was probably for use in gardening.

Saw this on TV this morning... the show ('Tokudane' I think) said she was probably doing a home English lesson at the guys place? Whatever happened, it made me feel pretty sick when they expained what may have happened using CG with the bathtub and sand... reminded me of Silence of the Lambs a bit.

thats freakin terrible..

what i cant believe is that the cops could be so bloody stupid!! he " just bolted".... wtf?

bolted away from a bunch of cops carrying guns and now is on the loose??!! :(:(

thats just BS. is that news report fur real??

is that news report fur real??

Yes, the guy is still at large and the police failed to 'secure' him while they were at his apartment. I doubt the police intentionally wanted this bit of info to leak, but it happened in an apartment building so who knows who saw what.

This sheds some light on what happened:

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
