I'm coming to Japan

[Parag0n]

Hey all,

Just letting you guys know that I will be flying into Japan with Japan Air Lines with my Father (this was a extremely genourous present from him :headspin: ) on Tuesday 13th of April and flying back to Brisbane on the 22nd of April, we have already organised some stuff with our Travel Agent and JAL so here is a bit of my Itenirary

13th April, 1pm: Arrive Tokyo Airport

14th April- 16th April: Tours of Tokyo, Yokohama and Surrounding regions, this will be when I buy the 2 Bride Brix II seats, 2 Takata harnesse's and the White Buddy Club P1 rims.

17th-18th April: 2004 D1 Grand Prix Exhibition match, Odaiba Tokyo, Japan, Really looking foward to this, was EXTREMELY hard to organise it with our travel agent, but we got there My aim is to get a picture of myself and Nomuken doing the monkey pose, I promise I will do whatever it takes

19th April: Fly from Tokyo to Hokkaido (Where my GTR is) I'll give the car some rev then test drive it around the yard

21st April: Hokkaido to Tokyo

22nd April: Tokyo to Brisbane

May to October: Anxiously wait for GTR to arrive

I'll be in Perth then, guiding some poor hapless Japanese girls around...

good luck getting all that gear home!

good luck getting all that gear home

I was thinking the same thing

[akeenan]

I was thinking the same thing

probably work out cheaper to buy that stuff here after you add on the extra taxs and extra costs to take them onto the plane.

[DaiOni]

yeah, might want to check excess baggage fees....

(not that I've ever been slapped with them - but then again, I haven't tried to ship half a car back either...)

In all honesty, and given the current exchange rate (curse it), you may well be better off to just buy through someone like rezz. If it was me, I'd be looking for small and hard to get items.

[Parag0n]

The Rims will be shipped with my Car from Yokohama to Tokyo, Im sending the Seats and Harnesses back to Aus, 27,150 Yen EMS express with insurance

Parag0n if you dont mind me asking how much was the return airfare? because i wanna go over there with my dad aswell but i dont wanna fork out shitloads for the airfare.. i just wanna c how much it is to go with JAL then it is with Qantas... thanks

[Parag0n]

Return in April with JAL = $1400~

Return in April with QANTAS = $1600~

JAL is an awesome service though and organised transportation for us on the ground in Japan etc..

[DaiOni]

given that price difference, and the even wider gap in service and quality - you'd be insane to fly qantas
