Okinawa Update for you folks in the US

I have been getting a lot of requests for pictures and things of the such concerning what is going on in Okinawa Japan where I live. well today I took a few pictures so here you go:
Here's what became of my old car before they took it away


Here's the sunset we look at every night



here's the shit in my trunk



Here's a fast old school skyline with over 700ps and that's my wife talking to the guy from speed factory cause I can't speak japanese very well



Here's the GTR motor I am considering buying for 240000 yen (2200 bucks)



Here's the fastest GTR on this Island: 950ps







Here's a GTR motor that's about to go into a GTS-t and the transmission has been welded shut and converted to 2 wheel drive:






And last but not least, here's a link to the gallery where you can find all of these pictures and more (of the ones I took this month so far) at 1600x1200.

but 7800 is not 2200. For 8 grand I could get a whole R32 GTR nevermind an engine.

God damn this is beautiful:

You should do this to your car Razor :-)

Oh and if you go to the gallery and look at the other pictures of this guys car, you can see in the back seat he has a BRIDE babyseat for is son.

Yeah I'm back...no thanks to a certain party in Off Topic Chat... Some people have no common sense or logic when it comes to politics.

Yeah I hate missing drama and ownage.

To ~ My3rdskyline: Would you ever get an r34 2.5 gt-t instead of an R32.

Re: Okinawa Update for you folks in the US

instead of an R32 GTS-t. yes.
Here's my list from most desired to least desired (not including rare breeds)

R32 GTR (one of my dream cars)
R34 GTR (style)
R33 GTR (not really style, but it's a GTR so it comes before the others)
R34 GT-T (style)
R33 GTS25t (power/dollar ratio)
R33 GTS4/25 R32 GTS-t (these I can afford)

Too bad I can't afford anything above the bottom 2 lines. Just my personal preference. First and foremost I love the R32 GTR. Next comes the styling of the R34.

One thing I learned from my R33 was that you should never buy a car based on how it looks. I got that car because it was sharp looking, but then I learned how bad it sucked. I guess that's why I don't like R33's at all. actually scratch that, I honestly would rather have an R34 GT-T than an R33 GTR. That's how much I don't like R33's. Just because of a bad experience though. You know that feeling you get when you see someone drive by in one of those faded red GEO metro 3 bangin piles of shit and you think to yourself "oh what the fuck?" ?; that's the same feeling I get when I see an R33. Even a GTR (unless it's missing a headlight and got a parachute, Then it looks OKAY).
