I have just had a vehicle arrive and it is covered in japanese stickers......I am hoping someone will be able to tell me what each of them mean.

I apologise for the pics.

PS. The single black character pictured is actually written twice next to eachother but it is too large to get into one frame on my digi cam

Thanks in advance

First pic:

1) Roppatsu Gundam - literally means "6 explosion team" <--- silly team name.

2) Omega - Oil brand ;)

3) Hashitte iitomo - means: "it's ok to drive" <--- silly TV show title reference

4) dori you - means: "for drift"

5) sake ran or shuran (2 ways to read it) - means: alcohol induced confusion (???) or 'drunk' (?) not sure, looks like a made-up word.

6) ihou kyousou gata - means: illegal competition type... or 'mad driver' something along those lines. The guys who make these stickers use chinese characters together to form their own cool vocabulary.

Second pic:

The second pic uses some of the same Kanji (chinese characters) as the 1st pic, but with more very old largely unused Kanji... probably not worth worrying about other than they are club names, local area ones at that.

In fact, ALL those stickers are just stupid jibberish that uncool 'Yanki' put on their cars to show how anti-establishment they are, or how hooked up they are in their car club... or whatever. I dare say that if a Japanese saw you driving around AU with those stickers they'd laugh at you, then probably ask why in the hell did you think that those stickers were worth leaving on the car.

In a nutshell: take 'em off! :(

i think the iitomo sticker is separate. hehehe. oh well right? where did you get the stickers btw?

They are attached to a vehicle that i have just had come in.......As you can see there are several of them, so i at least wanted to know what they mean.

Can anyone try an figure out the jiberish stuff in the second pic for me out of interest?

You seem to have missed out one phrase in the first pic Rezz........any idea what "oretachi dorift gundan" means?

just agree with rezz and take these stickers off ... then again what else are we gonna laugh at :)

since I can only read kanji.. here's my dodgy attempt with direct kanji->english translation on 2nd pic..

1) straight 6 cylinder lover(love you?) club(?) or association(?)

2) same as 1st pic's 6)

3) 6 open(?) or shoot(?) army country

4) some place name I think?

5) just a word by it self.. makes no sense to me

Pls correct if I made any bad translation along the way..

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
