*Big man hug*

Now who's gonna encourage me to go out on Friday nights and spend more and more money on my Skyline? ;)

I pic up my 33 in the next few weeks so i can, lets do a group buy on traction paint and quad overhard sunvisors.

Shawn will miss out and feel inferior.

Good luck.

Rules I remember

Don't lean on the walls

Don't volunteer for anything

Don't take all that stuff they tell you to take, just some trousers, shoes and shirt. You WILL be issued with anything you need. You will need to CARRY your luggage everywhere with you, don't take bags with wheels you will carry them anyway.

Don't get caught with the girls

Do go to Sunday Church, gets you out of cleaning and the only place for getting wine.

Don't say you were part of any cadets etc

Gezz there's a million more, you'll find out soon.

Good luck! Hopefully you get to learn how to do cool stuff like run for hours with a big heavy pack, crawl through mud and get up at 5 in the morning.

Sounds like fun to me. Anyways, hope all goes well and hopefully we will see you around christmas!?

As for everybody else, do we really need encouragement to spend money on our cars? What else are you going to spend it on? Food? Rent? Maybe we need to set up a support group for those who are losing their way. Hahaha.

Yeah wish you well Shawn, give us the heads up when you're returning and I'll try to organise a lunch or dinner cruise somewhere so we can all catch up.

Don't get caught with the girls

I guess its best to get caught with the girls than anything else :( but if you do get caught... we want pics :)

Yes you will get 2 weeks off at christmas cos the instructors have lives too (i personally reckons its weak as piss) and you will get heaps of leave in the army plus there is plenty of clerk postings in Canberra, so we will se you often im sure.

Goodluck and my advice is dont take shit from the arms corps, just laugh at the fact you will get payed more for a lot less work (well it always pissed me off anyways).

hahahahaha have with kapooka that place sucks balls... been in for 5 yrs now

Second that. What u do in there dude?

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
