The explanation for the crash by jap authorities was severe wind shear..plane bounced and flipped, then boooom!!

Not good.

I was sitting at Narita airport later that day waiting for my flight home.

Yes we knew you were away in Japan as we bought some more items from your store.

The guys served us (God_speed aka Matt & I) well.

Windy Take-off?

Creaking in the airport roof?

Cheers,

Hell yeah aint that the truth. Then like UPS they dob you into customs and you get nailed for import duty and GST as well.

Only once, and never again...

well in some countries they like UPS are licenced duty collectors so they do levy whatever applicable taxes on their customers. can be a nasty surprise for some people.

on a serious note it's a very sad occurrence. and a very strange looking accident. from that one piece of footage it certainly looks like either mechanical failure or wind shear. poor crew. :banana:

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
