If my first duty station is japan should i...

bring the RA and get it tuned over there by those crazy japanese guys or..........just get a skyline or silvia?

tough call i say

more everything · Jul 18, 2007, 06:48 PM

Just mail back a Skyline.

ixhavexfaithx · Jul 18, 2007, 06:55 PM

25k is the going rate to convert one i hear....

and heaven forbid anything goes wrong with it and you must get a part ASAP

either way i'll probably convert to the nismo side if i get over there

samj601 · Jul 18, 2007, 06:55 PM

u would seriously ship the ra over there? how much would that cost?

derangedazn · Jul 18, 2007, 06:56 PM

skylines can be purchased pretty cheaply over there..unless you are looking for a GTR....my buddie payed 2G for a GTS-T and a little over 9G for a R33 GT-R.

ixhavexfaithx · Jul 18, 2007, 06:57 PM

i dont know how much it would cost to ship but could you imagine me having it over there and get it built to JDM specs but make sure its everything that will be legit in the states? by the time i get back i'll be showing people whats up lol

9g's is pretty cheap, you can get 91-02's GTS-T's for 6-15 depending on quality and mods.. pretty fair price

hmm... maybe you should consider your first duty in Afganistan, in which case you will not have to worry about modding your car.

g/l

g/l

or iraq

however. im going to be working on helicopters, not too far worried about going overseas. i think it would be kinda fun in a sick way

and in order to get sent to iraq or afghanistan you have to be assigned to a unit that is deploying soon

lets not also forget i will be worrying about mods because i'll be flight which is hazard pay plus separate food rations(which is also extra money) then the nice added non-taxable pay for being in a war. factor in my sign on bonus. yeah you're getting the idea.

I'm a working class kid so the money i'll be making is something i could never imagine where i live now. i mean, it'll be a bit more but i won't have as many bills

evrblazin · Jul 18, 2007, 07:09 PM

that's true they really don't need helicopter techs in the Middle East right now what was I thinking.

ewoevo · Jul 18, 2007, 07:15 PM

I'm pretty sure you can't take a late model car to Japan from the states. I had orders there a few years ago and couldn't take a car that was newer than 1976 (I think). This was in 1997. I'd suggest you double check with your assignments section to make sure.

Im going to japan this christmas to visit family thats stationed over there. But how long do you plan on being stationed there?

blair_london · Jul 18, 2007, 07:47 PM

I have always dreamed of owning my own SkyLine. I would probably kill myself in one, but i'd still buy it!!!!
