Thought that out wrong lol

Just got to Yokota today. Anyone wanna give me a tour around?

So many different cars on base, seemingly all modded too. Then i pull into the graveyard, i mean the hobby shop lol.

xpinoyxmk · 11-24-2014, 02:24 PM

Anyone here?

xpinoyxmk · 12-05-2014, 07:48 PM

Anyone know any shops around the Fussa/Tokyo area where i might be able to find a 180sx?

All the 180sx I find are in shitty condition. Auctions aint helping either. Looking for 1992-1993 year.

there are other chassis you might enjoy like c33 laurel or a31 cefiro. one tip you can build either of those chassis while you are in japan and almost all parts can fit the s-13 when you get back to the states. just strip your car and put your parts in your pack out when you head back.

heading to Atsugi Sept-Oct time frame. looking for people in the 180sx community to kick it and hang out.

Anyone stationed in Okinawa here? Been here for a year trying to find parts worthy enough to ship back home but haven't found anything. Feels like parts are kept very underground here, Or I'm just blind and retarded.

xpinoyxmk · 01-16-2015, 01:31 AM

Have only seen a couple clean 180sx's besides mine and my friend car. If I keep buying parts every month, I'm going to have a pretty nice car by summer smh... Need to save money but parts are just so cheap!

Oh and we're in Fussa

ill hit you up when i get there. how much longer you gonna be there? i got a friend whos getting stationed in Atsugi but drives a 240Z.

KoukiKid · 01-26-2015, 07:16 PM

Heading to Misawa AB in June... pretty devastated I'll have to live on base. -____- At least it's not the dorms, but still.

This is a great thread, glad somebody started it.

What's off-base snow removal like? If I were to just get something fwd for winter (like a Pao or something) would it be difficult to get around? Also, what are ferry costs like to get to Hokkaido?

Also, has anybody here been stationed and retired over there? Is it any different than retiring stateside, if even possible?

Off base snow removal is pretty bad.. they don't plow the roads much if at all off base here. AWD is ideal for the winter here (you can get a subaru for dirt cheap) but this past winter wasn't too bad.. it was my first winter here so I haven't experienced a bad winter here yet, but supposedly they're normally pretty bad. FWD should be fine though unless it just dumps snow one day (happens on random occasions).

Awesome. Thanks for the reply! I'm not against getting a subbie so long as I can get a 4 door skyline come summer.
