Definitely off to Japan

Now, Here are two to consider if you want a JDM (these can be imported no problem)
Toyota Soarer (1990)
Or an R30 Skyline GT-R (1983)

by when will you need to get a car? Have you picked something yet? How many years do you plan on keeping it.
Part of the reason I like the R34 is because that was THE car for me in GranTurismo. Also, it was this forbidden thing we couldn’t have over here. But it’s interesting that you prefer the R32 because according the info by your avatar, I’m a bit older than you, so I would have thought this would have been reversed.

I'd love to have an R34 in the garage. And if a GT-R could be had for ~$50K then I would look at it. But you're not touching a decent one (not ragged out) for under $100K.

After Japan, I was in Germany for 5 years (second time in the Stuttgart area) and on one of the bases I saw an R34 GT-R V Spec II Nur..... The guy was asking $75K and I thought that was insane... Looking back, I guess not.

**UPDATE** Move is delayed until end of September. Altering the car search for the wife: Forester, Honda Vezel (HR-V). I'm still getting a Levorg or I am considering an A4 wagon.

Thought of this thread on Saturday.
I picked up a spare transmission & grille for my Midget.
Guy imports kei cars. Had a mini cargo van, a Pajero Mini, Cappuccino, 95 Mini, and 2 Daihatsu Midgets [truck (single seat manual) & wagon (jump seat auto)] and a MGF
Luckily, only the Pajero & van were outside. I'd have been too tempted if the Cappuccino were visible.

Update folks: We get there the first week of October, and a Levorg has been purchased. It will look like this one, but it's lowered a touch (and in WR Blue as well). Once I get on island I'll send a lot of pictures. And I'll continue my running Japan commentary from there. 2019 "Black Selection".

We get there later next week, but the car arrived on island. Here are the initial pics. I'll be getting rid of some aftermarket interior bits though. Just not my thing. Once I get the car I'll fire up the wagon thread with a lot of pics.

Nah, that's the name of the dealer there. Ha. He's a friend of mine and we reviewed a dozen cars. This one is a special edition, but I'm not a huge fan of the tacky carbon fiber stuff on the interior and the B pillar. I'll have to find the factory stuff and get rid if that.
Oh, the food is what I am looking forward to.
