Sileighty_85 · 03-02-2012, 12:53 PM

revcyanide · 03-02-2012, 12:55 PM

Biggamehit · 03-02-2012, 04:58 PM

Yeah Oki's Tropicalness is great I just went to visit the inlaws last year and the car scene has def gone down since 04.
I would still love to live there as a Civi though, but I guess well see when I get to main land.

Thats really my big question is what car do I want...

Ive had/have an R33, AE86, S13, S14.

I def wanna drift but want something different.

The wife wants a Chaser. If I was able to slap in a RB25DET in an R32 and legally drive it Id rock that.

Maybe just get a S13 Silvia......So many choices!!! haha

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-02-2012, 10:21 PM

When and if I go back, I want to do a JZX100 Mark II. I still think they're the cleanest 4 door sedans out there. Buddy of mine had one, shit was buttery smooth sideways due to the long wheel base. JZX110 just looks like a giant fucking corolla to me.

Another option is C35 Laurel with an RB25 swap and 5 speed. I dont know, I got this raging hard-on for 4 door sedans right now.

Luvs2slide · 03-02-2012, 11:52 PM

I'm running a c33 laurel w/ rb25det so if you do want a r32 with the rb25 its doable.

Shit, I still dont know why you wanted a C33. I think the C34 looks better. What year is your chassis? Old enough to bring back in 4 yrs?

I was kinda thinking a 4-ish door car since I havent had one yet, Maybe try out a 1J like maybe a Soarer or something.

Yeah the Verossa is a little weird looking but there was that one local that had that beast ass Purple one, fucking quick

I know its doable, but I dont wanna have to swap out engines for a JCI unless I find a guy that can do it. Really depends on my resources.

I forgot the Rules BUT:
I am wondering though if TMO will ship over my Hachi to Mainland since Its 26 years old

Luvs2slide · 03-03-2012, 12:56 AM

I think you may be able to. Check out the TMO thread on ZY about it. Theres a guy in the (Foamy wrath or something) and he works at TMO.

I just JCI'd my laurel with the 25 and went fine. Only thing is to make sure the title has been adjusted accordingly. Its easy to do.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 03-03-2012, 03:27 AM

I dont think you can Pat, the cut off for cars to bring to Japan is pre-1974, that doesnt change. If you can find a Z, I'd bring that and try to flip it to JDM'ers make some money on the side.

Interesting I didnt know you could do that, I remember way back when you could do something like a Modified Title but it cost a good chunk of change from what I heard.

Damn it I remember that year now, I couldnt remember if it was a set date or not. At least by the time i come back I'll be able to bring a car back, Maybe a R32 or somthing haha

you can bring anything you want. just gotta talk to the right people.
and misawa is gonna be fun. track out the front door

and you can do a legal engine swap, you just have to know a japanese guy to help with the paperwork. we did it for a rb20 in a 180

From where tho, Europe? If its so easy, why isnt there more of them doing it all over Japan.

Draggin A$$ · 03-04-2012, 12:02 AM

LUCKY!! I want to go back to Misawa!! I was there 99 to 03 and loved it.

LoneStarSilvia · 03-04-2012, 01:41 AM

I thought you can bring whatever you want to Oki, but for anything made after '78, it has to go to mainland first, be registered and etc., then shipped down to Oki. The embargo only stands for cars coming straight here. Something along the lines of that.

iStayBroke · 03-04-2012, 05:45 AM

I want to get back to Misawa, was to young to go to MSP when I lived there.

You thinking about bikes? If you bring a US spec bikes, it has to be inspected in mainland. You figured if its easy to do or cheap, more folks would be bringing their cars with them to Japan. Why would I want to have my car sit in storage when/if I can bring it with me.

indytrucks · 03-10-2012, 03:50 AM

I don't know about Misawa of Oki but Yokosuka has a fair amount of E plates running around. 300c's, mustangs, Escalades, Tahoes, you name it, its here.

One thing I want to know, does the title adjustment cost anything? I'd like to swap my SR into something else when the body gets beat to crap.

va240dude · 03-10-2012, 05:39 PM

Glad you're coming back! If you're ever down in Tokyo/Chiba area let me know, I'm always down for track days.

Thats ridiculous, I understand ppl not wanting to have to buy a new car, but that just takes away one of the experiences of Japan. Although I enjoyed RHD more. Plus id be more fucked up driving a LHD car over there.
