People... you're all wrong!

It's Rezz here, I'll straighten all this shenannigans out! (hehehe :rofl:)

Ok, Rrrrrready??? (lol)

GReddy: pronouced 'Goo-re-dee' or in English 'Gre-dee' from Japanese 'グレッディ' = 'Goo-re-dee'

A'pex(i): pronouced 'A-peck-koo-soo' or in English 'Aye-pecks' from Japanese 'アッペクス' = 'Ah-pe-koo-soo' - The 'i' IS NOT pronounced.

**Edit: Just because theres a capital 'G' and 'R' in there, doesn't mean anything! This is Japanese limited understanding of the English language remember...

Yes, I know, thats why I posted above. I've lived in Japan for 5 years and have met with Japanese sales reps from Trust and A'pex (and others) and heard them introduce themselves using the pronunciation I posted above... that enough? lol

who is they? i assume you are talking about japanese people...

some of your japanese pronounciations are off too.

ps: i believe is G Reddy

sorry, by 'they' i meant the people who invented the name. as some of the names i listed are not jap.

yeh i'm sure they are prob quite off, im just saying what i know, i'm not japanese, but my 'pronounciation key' is just a guide from what i know, its not supposed to be worthy of webber, just contributing to the forum, but i think you get the drift...

its not law either so by all means correct me where im wrong, i'm always happy to be corrected! :)

dan

I used to say G-Reddy, but I say greddy now. easier and yeah... sounds better lol. And it looks like that's the actual way to pronounce it, given the evidence for...

Lol rezz, I can so see that coming out of thier mouths :P dorreeft!

It's G-Reddy... Without a doubt. Now do you say G-rex or Grex? We could be here all day if we wanted to analyse exectly what those crazy Jap tuners (and japanese in general) are trying to say!!

It's Gr-ed-dee. :rolleyes: Remember this:

GReddy: pronouced 'Goo-re-dee' or in English 'Gre-dee' from Japanese 'グレッディ' = 'Goo-re-dee'

Theres a correct way to say it, and it would be quite embarrassing if say Tsuchiya were to come to Australia and all these Aussie so-called Japanese car experts start busting out with their own invented pronunciations just because "I can't be farked" or "that sounds stupid..."

One more time (:werd: ) with English pronunciation:

A'pex = Aye-pecks

GReddy = Gr-ed-dee

GREX = Gr-ex

GRACER = Gr-ay-ser (not: 'G-Racer!!!")

Fujitsubo = Foo-jitz-oo-boe (the emphasis is on the 'jitz' part, not: 'Foo-jit-SOO-boe)

Watanabe = Wah-tah-nah-beh... simple. (not: "Wah-tah-nayb"!!)

Tanabe = Tah-nah-beh... as above

5 Zigen = Five Ziggen ('ig' as in 'bigger') In Japanese: 'Goh Ziggen'.

RE Amemiya: Are-Eee Ah-mem-ee-yah

Cefiro = Seh-fee-roe

Hachi-Roku = Hah-chee Roh-koo (not: Roe-koo... US style :D)

Bride = Bree-deh (I suppose 'Breed' would sound better in English... don't say 'Br-eye-d'!!! Thats the epitomy of wrong)

JUN = Joo-n ('oo' as in 'put')

Tommy Kaira = Tommy K-eye-rah (not: 'K-eye-ee-rah')

Tomei = Toe-mey (not: TOMMY!)

Tsukuba = Tsoo-koo-bah

Any more just gimme a yell ;)

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
