Took my friend Chris and his wife Andrea out to DF for the first time.
The kouki S14 you see next to my S13 is his.
He was like a kid in a candy store.

), and we do not have a Regional Section for Japan. These have always been posted here, and will continue to be posted here. Thank you for your concern.

SilviaNinja240 · 04-14-2006, 08:18 PM

ah looks like fun! Too bad Daikoku Futo is too far away for me

Ricks15 · 04-14-2006, 08:29 PM

yeah those are nice pictures

SpeedMonkeyInc · 04-14-2006, 08:49 PM

Thanks Mr. M for more photos. I saved most of the last set you posted. Are you going to get any more of the crazy Bozo cars? Those are my fav. I am obsessed with 70s Japanese cars these days

axiomatik · 04-14-2006, 08:59 PM

nice photos as always. doesn't look like pop-ups are too popular with the rx-7 owners.

P4rD0nM3 · 04-14-2006, 09:23 PM

Nice pic as always, were you using a tripod and what's your iso? Were you using aftermarket lenses?

I envy you living in japan...wait, I envy you being there...you don't even have to live...all I get is a stop over whenever I travel.

1mns13 · 04-14-2006, 11:20 PM

Nice pics. Those FC guys sure like thier aerodynamics, no popups.

ranisron · 04-14-2006, 11:31 PM

beautiful pictures.... THANK YOU

kouki_s14 · 04-14-2006, 11:54 PM

i wish i could see those in person

Advan · 04-15-2006, 12:45 AM

I miss my FC.

Those are some really good looking pictures, too. Just loved the family of FC's and FD's. I find myself more attracted to the R32's and 33's, more than the 34's. I guess that's what happens when you see/hear about them alot. On the 7th picture, I know it's an Infiniti, but what kinda Inf. is it?

yokotas13 · 04-15-2006, 01:03 AM

man i think were gonna roll out there tonight, im gona try and get them to insead of okutama

*fliprayzin240sx* · 04-15-2006, 02:47 AM

And thats the reason why i need to get stationed in either YOKOTA AFB or Camp Zama!!!

Advan · 04-15-2006, 03:21 AM

Don't you get to choose where you want to be stationed at? Hell, I'm still waiting for my shipping date. I'm with you on being stationed in Japan.

i8yourfwd · 04-15-2006, 04:29 AM

i skeeted... everywhere... jaln3rlsfa234aaa

yokotas13 · 04-15-2006, 06:13 AM

no yu dont get to choose, you have optinos, but not the final choice

alexchanman · 04-15-2006, 11:04 AM

that white 180 is sooooooooooooooo nice. great pics, i liked how it showed the sky.

It's an Infiniti G20 (sold in the states between 1991-1996), also known as a Nissan Primera. I'm not sure if Nissan sold Inifiniti's in Japan back then, so it may be a Primera that has converted over with Infiniti parts.

**mrmephistopheles** · 04-15-2006, 04:40 PM

I'm glad everyone is liking the pictures. I'm surprised nobody commented on the KITT lights on that first 180sx. The owner was highly impressed by my 180 and was very friendly. I *did* almost laugh when he was struggling to get his headlights into 'sleepy-eyes' position, recalling when I thought that was ultracool beans and doing the same thing.

Anyhow, I guess I'll respond to your questions..

Sorry, what you see is what I have to share. All the pics I've taken are from Friday nights. Saturday nights are when the bozo crews come out to play apparently, but it's also when the gangs are out and things can be dangerous for gaijin. I don't know how true that last part is, and I want to make a trip out there on a Sat night before I leave Japan.

Hi Matt, see my reply above.

I'm sure you already knew, but yes - definitely a tripod. There's no way to get sharp long exposure images while hand-holding the camera. I actually used the timed shutter release as well so that my fat finger wouldn't shake the camera. I still need to get a remote release. I used the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM. I needed to use the 18-55 because the 28-135 wasn't allowing me to get a wide enough shot. I really want an ultrawide lens so I can get right up on my subject and still get alot of extra background. edit: I never answered your question about ISO! ISO 100 across the board. I didn't need any more because there was enough light to make for a good exposure at 30 seconds.

The FC's were def. nice. The red one sounded the meanest. That car is most likely a Primera with G20 treatment (USDM craze). Nissan did sell some cars here under the Infiniti badge starting in the early 90s, including the Q45. I don't believe that that car happened to be one (I'm pretty sure they didn't sell G20 in stock form here).

Nope. Best chance you have of getting here is making in a clause of your contract. Best bet is to be Air Force, since they get the most people stationed out here.

The sky was crappy and overcast all damn day, and I was worried that it would rain, but it ended up clearing out and being a perfect night for pics.

Advan · 04-15-2006, 06:55 PM

Meph: Yea, I'm in the Air Force now. I'm just waiting for them to call and tell me when I ship. I'm pretty sure, even if I were to put Japan down as a choice, I probably wouldn't get it. Which base is good in Japan anyway? You know, the base that's not far from things like these? Anyways, sorry to get offtopic. So a Primera, eh? I'm gonna have to look into that.

eDit: Now I remember what I wante dto ask you Meph. Did you use a tri-pod?

WILDACEX187 · 04-15-2006, 07:09 PM

^^^he said yes damnit. that primera is pimp. i love g20's. friend of mine wants to drop a gti-r motor in it

Advan · 04-15-2006, 07:29 PM

oh...didn't see it. My bad.

blackflag_Rms13 · 04-15-2006, 07:33 PM
