akeenan: that's right. I ended up taking the bus from the Narita to Shinjuku and it cost me about 30 bucks... My point is, if we are going, we should really know how to read at least some Japanese so that we don't get lost...

inark: cool, would you arrange for US to stay at her house, too? Hehehe... Is she pretty? :D

i leave on august 2nd for akita. been with the gf for almost 5 1/2 years, 'bout time i met the parents... but i get to spend a week in tokyo before i come back.

the problem you guys will have is that's it's 'obon' over there (www.japan-guide.com/e/e2286.html) and the hotels will be busy.

your best bet would be to book a package tour. try H.I.S. in the city (level 9, 257 collins st) or another travel agent and tell them you what you can pay.

also, you don't need a visa if you go for less than 3 months but you do need to prove you have a place to stay.

don't worry if you don't speak japanese, it's easy to get around. almost all signs are in japanese/english. just learn the essential phrases; "nismo wa doko?"

LOL 'nark... I tried learning Japanese once and it is pretty damn hard! Way harder than I thought!

Anyway, if you guys are going, there are some 80% chance that I am going... I don't think it is a problem. I've been saving up for years since I don't want to spend too much on modifications anymore... Keep me posted, Dudes...

damn only $500 odd to go all the way to japan!! u sure u wont be traveling in the cargo hold for that price??

Would love to go 2, but wayyy to busy at work.

As for sending back a container its quite easy, long as u can find a good seaworthy container over there to hire u can organise with an aus freight company to ship it back from there 2 here!

But u will have to fill it full of stuff or else it wont be worth the cost!!

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
