Any advice on getting one? Trying to plan this out ahead of time.
Was gonna contact Jesse Streeter to see if he could source one out for me but have gone thru with it yet. Also, do you have an idea of what they go for over there, price wise? |

http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/php/search/summary.php As you can see, it really depends on the km's and mods it has. If you buy through private party, auction, or from someone on the base, it is usually a few thousand cheaper than through a used car dealer like those listed on Goo-net. |

I work with 2T2s here at yokota. Whats your sqd? And a nice type x will cost you decent, ive seen mint ones out here owned by locals. You can find a 180 however for pretty cheap. Yokota youll wAnt to go thru a military guy, auctions, or ruby. If you go thru ruby youll need to know whAt youre looking at cuz he doesnt know shit about condition, but he can get you a good price. Check yokotaads.com ruby posts his cars there. Auctions are good too but youll need a contact to buy from there. Just have 5k ready to go id say and you can get you something decent.

Hey man! Don't stress out looking for a chassis quite yet. 180's are sort of picky to get ahold of. Once you get here if you really just need to get a temporary car go to Ruby. I wouldn't quite suggest trying to obtain your 180 thru him though. Try KidsHeart,Carkoubou,Accurate basically any tuner-type shop in hopes of scoring something good.

This might be the wrong place to ask, but if I wanted to join the the forces to expand my experience in network operations, administration, and IT which branch would be the best of my choices and how would I land my ass in Japan? any help is appreciated, I'm thinking long and hard about my life... I think it's that point where I need to pick up and go, or stay here and be stuck in this point of life.

Sounds like you'd want to be a 3D1X2 - Cyber Transport
Chances are you won't get an assignment to Japan right out of tech school. I did, but I think that was just dumb luck. So it's possible, but improbable. Best bet would be to volunteer for a short tour in Korea(Osan AB, preferably). This will not guarantee your next follow-on assignment will be the one of the ones you asked for but it bumps you up on the priority list during the assignment selection process. This is how I secured my second tour in Japan. I am AF so I can't speak for the other services. This is first hand experience. |

Not all of them are fanboys, I imagine a few are "entrepreneurs" since they think they'll make lots of money on them, when they try to sell them stateside. |

Well see how flooded the US market will be with R32 GTRs in the next year or so. I see the supply coming in pretty constant and the demand going down the shitter since nobody has $15-20K cash to drop on a 25 yr old car. USAA will tell me to go fuck off if I try to get a loan for one.

Anyone have an idea how much shipping/customs fees blah blah blah would cost for a 25 yr old car?
Debating on just getting a chaser or s15, paying a company to hold it when i leave and ship it when it hits 25 yrs instead of buying a 180sx like i had planned. Thoughts? As of right now ill be able to ship a car with a build date of 11/1992. |

Depending on if you have a car in storage already, but if you plan ahead you can have them ship for free for you. I'm taking full advantage of this in a few months with my '89 K's
