That shit hurts!!! But drifting without powersteering isn't too bad. I like it just for me doing controlled donuts is harder than doing a course or big turns

wait.. a dumb ass Ethiopian King? What?

Negus (Ge'ez ንጉሥ, nigūś, Amharic nigūs; cf. Tigrinya ነጋሽ negāš) is a title in Ge'ez, Tigrinya, Tigre and Amharic, used for a king and at times also a vassal ruler in pre-1974 Ethiopia and pre-1890 Eritrea.

My name is Shabaka which is the name of an Egyptian king. Thank god my dad didn't call me Negus instead lolz

Dude, you live in cali. Shit is less than 100 to fix EASY.

As the great Jon Wayne once said, if you can't afford a 240, you should catch the bus.

So...

Did the wife come before or after the kid?

**S13SilviaGirl** · 07-22-2008, 02:21 AM

Japan isnt all that great being in the military (as a civilian hells yes).....R34s are still expensive there... And even more expensive to get registered in your name. Don't plan on bringing it back either...

im not really worried about it .. i got money ready and saved.. i can infact bring it back.. 1 of 2 ways : 1 bring it back as race only veh, egh whats the fun in that.. or 2 pay the gawd awful fees that come along with bringing it to the us an im not talking threw motrex cuz they are a money landering gigantic pyramind schyme.. i found plenty of other companies that are willing to do it... i have been researching and doin my homework for a while.. my wife wants to get it and bring it back too.. so that i will try my best

Okinawa is the worst especially now (For Military)
Main land is better since they have actual tracks and they dont seem to care as much.

well its cheaper to obtain yes, probably 3 - 3 1/2K for an R33

still gonna be just as expensive to bring it and "register it"

Be sure to stay away from MotorRex if they are still in bussiness, I heard way too many horror stories about them.

I heard some loop holes about if you PCS from Japan to England then to the states the military will bring your car for you
but this was 2 years ago

**S13SilviaGirl** · 07-22-2008, 02:30 AM

You should research a little more, as it isnt as easy as you think. Talk to the people that have had their REGISTERED US CARS taken, or the ppl that have cars from Japan still sitting at the docks...and it has been over a year. After just being over there for 4 years myself, I have a little more knowledge on the subject than you.

Your tax dollars hard at work. That's just a flat out burn. The sadder part is, there is absolutely nothing he can do.

Try and buy a rolling shell and rebuild it. It'll probably be cheaper.

ZX88 · 07-22-2008, 06:35 AM

wow we went from drifting without powersteering to talking about importing skylines. As for the original topic drifting without powersteering is just dumb its more work for you leaveing greater chances for mistakes. fi you can affored to work on a skyline you can affored to replace powersteering components that wouldnt cost more than 50 bucks.

liv2drift045 · 07-22-2008, 06:42 AM

So OP where in japan are you moving to... or did i miss that??
