I'm moving to Chiba-shi in a month or so. Looking for Nissan enthusiasts, tuners, drifters in the area. Hopefully I'll get up to the Tsukuba circuit a few times. I drive an S13 in the U.S., am hoping to acquire more mechanic/tuning skills in Japan. Message me to connect. ありがと!

Yeah I'm from the east coast of the US where our waves aren't that great, so Japan is fine for me. I learned to surf in Japan at かたがいはま and おんじゅく. Hoping to get to Oki someday, we'll see.

Yeah, what's up with that? I've already had a couple people PM me wanting parts, I don't get it. If I pick up anything it will be for me or my brother's s13. What are you driving, Yokotavia?

Yoko,

Were you talking about me? I'm making sure because I sure didn't ask for cheap wheels or whatever.

If you're not doing Yahoo auctions then just say so. I'll move on.

VA240,

No worries man. We all go through the learning phase but it did seem like you were showing off. Espeically since you wrote in basic Kana... lmao :-D

I was like,"..Jesus..." Go here (http://lang-8.com/)to practice and meet native speakers.

Hope it helps.

thanks, Yoko, but i'm moving there for good. each term is four years, and we're planning on being there for at least 12 years, so i plan on getting to know people, taking my boys to some of the fine racing and drifting Japan has to offer, and of course hitting up the tokyo auto salon. my son is two and loves cars, but he's into the movie Cars, which of course we all know is NASCAR, so I've got a lot of work to do to get him out of that phase, and into real racing. I've only been to the annual tokyo motor show in Makuhari mese once, in '99 and it was pretty awesome. first time i ever got to sit in a R34 GT-R...and it wasn't even running :doh:

My company's workshop/parking yard is located in Noda City, just off the Joban highway. Though plans to relocate to Yokohama are in the near future.

From the Kashiwa exit, Tsukuba circuit is about 30 minutes away.

Where abouts in Chiba are you? My guess is within the Urayasu area where its more populated.

Vehicles, new / used parts exports. Google Feast Auto Group for URL.

Area you mentioned should be fairly affordable. Out skirts of Tokyo and all. Had a good friend which bought a house out that way.

BTW, if your here by mid-November, you may want to head up to Fukushima-ken, Nihonmatsu area. Ebisu Circuit is having there fall festival. Mostly drift action, though they have some nice circuit tracks for gripping.

I'll be up there staying at Powervehicles HQ and running all weekend in the S14. Few friends are also coming up. Id offer you a ride, but only have room for one passenger, which is taken atm.

No problem, let me know if that spot opens up. Sounds exactly what I'd love to do for a weekend trip. Keep me posted on the dates and specifics. We're planning on moving Oct 27th, so I should be able to make it.

Nice dude, yeah let me know when you get there. CC Lemon I can do, it's Pocari Sweat that I can't drink. Maybe it's the name that makes it so hard? I know one thing though, besides German beer, Japanese beer is my second favorite kind so I'll be enjoying a lot of great things about Japan.

Not sure in terms of car stuff. I've only been here a little a month and only met a few people. Seems like a lot of people go to Mobara circuit for drifting, etc but I haven't been yet. Anyone on here that goes or knows more about it chime in. Are you coming over for the auto salon primarily?

motegineon
12-17-2009, 06:38 AM
I drifted Mobara a few months ago, pretty fun track, I really liked it, and the turnout was pretty good. I live in Kanagawa so I can't suggest much for that area. As for the TAS I prolly will not be going this year, not definite.. but likely no..i'll let you know otherwise though.

Nice fix on the sig.. 嬉しい ^_^

How did you line up the English teaching gig man? i heard lining up work was very difficult to come by, and from what I understand they won't let you live there unless you have secured work there. I was planning on doing something similar but haven't really seriously looked into going through the proper venues for doing so, if you don't mind me asking what was the approximate cost to move there for rent and such, you can PM me if you like. I am just sick of my job here and would like to try something different.
