I got them from Chatswood Chinese video shop.. special order.. untill 4th Stage act 8. Then 4th stage act 9~14 I got them from a firend.. he downlaod it.

I've seen all 4th stage act 14. .. Takumi drive his dad's new Impreza.. and i think thats the End of 4th Stage going on to 5th

They release every 2 month in Japan too

this is the 4th stage release date in Japan

Anyone know when the initial d movie will be available here?

It gonna be a while i guess... they will be available in Asia first and then maybe a year later to be available in Aus... Just like the movie "HERO"... it was out in Asia long long time ago.....

I've seen all 4th stage act 14. .. Takumi drive his dad's new Impreza.. and i think thats the End of 4th Stage going on to 5th

4th stage dosn't end there, Avex has decided to continue with the story with act 15 and 16 airing in the usual time frame of 3months as there are two many things which have not been covered from the manga to show a end to the series

In brief....

*Spoilers* *Spoilers* *Spoilers*

Anybody who has watched Initial D till now has seen the new intro. In the new intro towrds the end, Keisuke has modified his FD both cosmeticly and internally after a prang with a guardrail during a prelap of the course racing the Lotion (lancer evolution) team and after burrowing Kyoko's FD to race.

The new intro also briefly shows a S2000 and R34...these two oldies are called God Hand and God foot and are Bunta's old oponents. They try and beat Takumi which dosn't happen as usual because they couldn't beat his Dad and to try to shut down the hype of Project D. Anyway the manga portrays these races in quite alot of detail....and knowlingly unable to recreate such detail in the series....the anime is gonna probably chop em in half only showing takumi's race and the start of Keiuske's.

Also in last act, yet to be covered.

In the race which concentrated on Keisuke's race between the FD and now Supercharged AE86 Levin, there is a guy standing in the rain who says "Fr cars are crap...look how unblanced they get in the wet", this guy known as XXX (not gonna say) is from another team which drives EVO's, that also race with Takumi and Keiuske but without any dignity and try to cheat by deliberately spilling oil on the track, these guys are shown briefly in the scene where Itsuki is with with Kazumi in the cafe at around 15mins into ACT 14.

Also in Act 14, takumi is pissed at the 86 with its handling after driving his old mans WRX, once again referring to the manga, up to know there is still talk in how he is trying to overcome the cars present potential cause as much as he hates to admit he knows that the WRX is the better car.

The manga is far more detail, and these two seperate races are in full detail which cover over 3 mangas. So in minimum terms at least another 4 acts need to aired and explained and these should include (in order):

-The race between the Lotion Team

-Kesuike's modified and tuned FD after driving Kyoko's FD

-God Hand and God Foot

-and Takumi's final reflection of his Dad's WRX and his 86 for Initial D 4th Stage to end properly.

Enjoy pplz

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
