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..

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
