Just wondering if there is anyone from Okinawa on here.

My name is Mike and I've got an 89 GT-R.

*udon!* · 09-19-2009, 10:21 PM

HYPNOTIK · 09-20-2009, 12:04 AM

I have a question for all the guys who live in japan. In america everyone is JDM and I heard japan was the total opposite wanting everything on their car to be USDM? confirm or deny? Also im extremely jealous, I plan on going over next year but we will see.

Actually I've seen a couple silvias here with 240 badges on them. I wouldnt say its real popular but there are a couple around.

MADE · 09-22-2009, 09:51 PM

Depends on the community my friend imports USDM stuff from the US all the time for his VIP and Honda customers. Badges grills light etc.

duece95duece · 09-24-2009, 01:54 PM

Jtuned_andy · 09-24-2009, 04:30 PM

I've seen the USDM jams over there, the honda crowd in Japan is big into converting their cars into US market ie shaving markers, adding badges, acura stuff etc..

YouTube - "USDM jam ver.5" jdm usdm meet

zippakilla · 09-25-2009, 09:16 AM

They only want our car accessories (i.e. Fairylady Z with 370z emblem). They don't want our aftermarket parts except for a few of the better companies.

If you go 'next year' then check out any SuperAutoBacs. You'll see what I mean.

But hate Americans, lol. I lived near Hiroshima for 3.5 years and I liked Oki but loved mainland.

Japanese are definitely into American cars and they do, in fact, buy the better quality american cars. I recently went on a visit and was amazed at the amount of Fords: 08-09 Mustangs (mainly), explorers, Saturns (saw 1 is Fukuoka), Cadillacs, etc

Here are some pix I took of the Nissan Global HQ Gallery

I just sent some Hasport and Vibrant products to my friend in Japan. It depends on what is wanted. Believe it or not some JDM parts are cheaper sourced from the U.S.A than from Japan. Ever brought brake pads in Japan, it's not like going to Autozone,Kragen.

Yeah, when I was at regular Autobacs recently I was like - Uhh I can buy this cheaper online. I'll probably do that when I go back.

I did buy a lot of Carmate stuff though. I love their accessories.

initial D · 10-01-2009, 02:14 PM

Those of you that lived over there, why'd you leave? were you in the army or something?

I hope to be able to visit or live there someday

A31CEFIRO · 10-04-2009, 06:42 AM

I love it here. Just got back from Nikko Circuit a couple minutes ago.

Hating much?!?! Actually he needs it considering how he drives the damn thing. Then again, think he just shut the engine. Goodbye HKS 2.8 liter stroked RB26...
