Been here for close to 1.5 years and I see it at a shrine in the middle of nowhere of all places .Thought I'd share.
>>28619809Bro even let me see the engine bay.
>>28619810
Plates have 大阪 and 神戸 on themガイジン死ね
>>28619809wow, nice. worth a VERY pretty penny now. Did you ask when he bought it?
>>28619809i want to know what that funky toyota truck is
>>28619809They are pretty cool, I knew a guy in Sydney about ten years ago who ran a detailing business and had one in Millennium Jade
>>28619809not enough fake vents, engine is too heavy since its made of metal, its not automatic, needs more leds and 24" wheels
>>28619875it's just the newest land cruiserhttps://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/40658942.html>>28619809very neat anon. Do you live there are just visiting?If you're visiting, have you been to akihabara udx? Daikoku has some cool shit but you need a car to get there and it's like 50% retarded tourists typically. A bunch of morons jumping fences to get there and getting stranded.
>>28619969It's the J250 Prado. The full-fat Land Cruiser is the J300.
>>28619858It's 姫路 motherfuckerNow let's track this guy down
>>28619809I live near a V-Spec II Nur
>>28619858No it's 兵庫県。fucking faggot.
>>28619969I live here. Tokyo was nice but I only stayed 3 months there. I lived near the Nürburgring so no car meetup or culture does anything to me anymore. I just thought it's a crazy rare care which I've never seen before. Lots of R34s though in general.
>>28620002How common would you say it is to see r32s? Out of all the cool car spotting I did, I saw probably a dozen r34s, half a dozen r33s, the same r35s, but only 1 single r32 in the wild. Also can I be your roommate? I visited for 2 weeks last year and have a desperate need to return.
>>28619813The best looking skyline
>>28619999You should know 9 is considered bad luck over there, weebt. weeb
>>28620007Casually on the streets I'd say once or twice per week. In Osaka and Kyoto a bit more often. My neighbour has an r32 in pristine condition. Not gonna say much about life in Japan only that, I haven't heard a single true piece of advice from any YouTuber or influencer etc. maybe Dōgen has a few good points.I'm not saying they're lying, I'm saying that my experiences are very different and much more positive than most make it out to be. It's easy to start a life here. If you really mean it, at least try it for a year.
cool car. shame unclapped ones are unobtainium
>>28619810>WHHHHEEEEEERRRRRR-chhhhhuuuu-oooo-ooo--WHEEEEUUUUGGRRHHHHHHHHHH-ccchhhuuuuuoooooo-ooooo-oooooooo
>>28620098>I haven't heard a single true piece of advice from any YouTuber or influencerThey're all retards that just say shit for views. Same with any """influencer"'">It's easy to start a life here. If you really mean it, at least try it for a year.I'll look into it more, I finally have a job that can be done from anywhere so I have freedom to travel and shit
>>28620098Visiting Japan in Oktober. Any advice / tips? I'm flying to Hanada airport. Staying for 22 days. Should I get a japan rail travel pass?
>>28620685I've heard they're not worth it anymore unless you ride the shinkansen more than once. I also went in October a few years ago and it was very hot and muggy the first few days in Tokyo but it was amazing weather by the middle of the trip. Get an international driver's license if you haven't already. Experiencing Japan via car is a ton of fun. You end up in cool spots gaijin aren't expected. I visited a tiny track in the middle of nowhere near Toyama, cost 1,000 yen to get in and I had a blast. This is a garage at said track.
>>28620685>Should I get a japan rail travel pass?Probably not unless you expect to ride the shinkansen a lotDo get a suica card, a real one, not the gay tourist one Ignore every gay ass place that suggests going to tsukiji. It's overpriced mediocre sushi and filled with about 80% tourists and streetshitters Do not try to save money by staying in a capsule hotel Do bang a Japanese girl at a foreigner friendly soapland. I'm a fan of galdeli Don't be an obnoxious loud tourist Do drop 5 yen at every shrine you pass (and learn the little ritual, it's simple)Do you know any Japanese? I can give you a list of phrases that I learned that were very helpful
>>28620720Thanks a lot. Yes I got my int drivers license and we do plan to rent a car every now and then. But not for the whole 22 days.>>28620746Alright, I will get a suica card then and make sure to pay and be respectful at the shrines.Apart from a few words here and there I picked up from watching anime I don't know any Japanese. So if you have any must learn phrases, yes please. Thanks a lot!
>>28619809>>28619810>>28619813>>28620098nice. What camera did you use to take these pics? Did you have to shrink the file size?
>>28620685>Should I get a japan rail travel pass?No. Its not worth it at all. Back then it was when it was 4x cheaper.
I had probably the stupidest thought, but would be cool to buy a 20GT ($7,000 in running order, a blown one would be better), emptying it and placing a modern lightweight engine (maybe a nissan VK v8 engine?) behind the front seats, making a cool mid engine coupé.I can't actually make it happen so whatever.
>>28620870>So if you have any must learn phrases, yes please. Thanks a lot!I wouldn't necessarily say they're must learn, but I used all of these while I was there*すみません (sumimasen) - excuse meごめんなさい (gomen nasai) - sorry (gomen, less formal)*ありがとう ございます (arigatou gozaimasu) - thank you*おはようございます (ohayou gozaimasu) - good morning*こんにちは (konnichiwa) - good afternoon*こんばんは (konbanwa) - good eveningおやすみなさい (oyasuminasai) - goodnight (oyasumi, less formal)またね (mata ne) - see you later*はい (hai) - yes*いいえ (iie) - no (iya is less harsh/formal)大丈夫 (daijoubu) - okay*いや 大丈夫 です (iya daijoubu desu) - no, it's okay*お願いします (onegaishimasu) - pleaseどこですか (doko desu ka) - where isありますか (arimasu ka) - do you haveこれ (kore) - this それ (sore) - that トイレ (toire) - toiletいくらですか (ikura desu ka) - how muchいただきます (itadakimasu) - I'll enjoy this (said before a meal)ごちそうさまでした (gochisousama deshita) - thank you for the meal (said after a meal)*おすすめは何ですか (osusume wa nandesuka) - what do you recommend*お会計お願いします (okaike onegaishimasu) - check please英語 わかります (eigo wakarimasuka) - do you understand english?日本語 わかりません (nihongo wakarimsen) - I do not understand japaneseカードでいいですか (kaado de ii desu ka) - do you take credit cardお代わり(okawari) - refill/2nd helping水 (mizu) - water 美味しい (oishii) - delicious*phrases I used very frequently
>>28620968something to add, if you don't feel like using a translator app and want to ask about something, say the word in a stereotypical japanese accent and it has like a 50% chance of being right or being understood.
>>28620870Google Lens is your friendI highly recommend renting a car in the middle of the trip, let the beginning and end of your trip be in a major city like Tokyo and enjoy Japan by car after you've gotten sick of the big cities (I chose the Japanese alps and around Nanao to visit by car)Buy all the shit you want to take home AT THE END so you're not lugging it around for weeks
>>28621123>so you're not lugging it around for weeksDo you not have a hotel to keep your shit? I bought stuff all throughout my trip and never had a problem >>28620685Don't overbooked your time in kyoto if you're making an itinerary. 1-2 days is all you really need. And don't overplan your shit. It's more fun to just wing it Wear good shoes that are waterproof, I walked 15k steps on average every day
>>28620906>>28621186>>28620968>>28621123Thanks all!
>>28619809nur
>>28621186>Do you not have a hotel to keep your shit?I did but I wasn't staying in any place more than two nights in the middle section of my trip. Stayed in Tokyo at the beginning and end for 3 nights and Osaka for 3 nights about a week in to my itinerary. I fucked up and won too many crane game prizes in Tokyo and Osaka and it made traveling the rest of the time a little annoying.>>28621196Gl fren, safe travels.
>>28620685Just good shoes like the other guy said. 15K steps is minimum. Especially in Tokyo you will be taking 20K to 30K steps. Get a prepaid SUICA/ICOCA/IC card as soon as possible. Fill it up with 20000¥ and you're fine for trains and taxis. Don't be afraid to overcharge it because you take out the money at the end (airport) anyway. The other thing is, just don't be afraid to get lost or get off track from your goals. Fear of missing out is a big mistake that most do and they all end up having the same experiences, same locations, same stops etc. nothing wrong with that but organise it to your own needs.Don't go to Nagoya. It's worldwide the most boring big city, aside from the Toyota museum, there's nothing else there, really. I can't give you any specific advice because everyone is different. But I guess I can throw out anything from the top of my head.>Try to speak Japanese even if it's wrong. >If you see many people lining up, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's good food it just means that this restaurant/bar whatever just happened to be on the news recently or some SNS video.>Get an international driver's license if you plan to drive there. You will need a car to participate in the Daikoku or Osaka meetups>Akihabara isn't the otaku world that it used to be 20 years ago, it's very mainstream now but it's still an amazing place worth to visit.>The best sushi is in Ginza (aside from Kanazawa) specifically here"Tsukiji Aozora Sandaime Ginza Mitsukoshi Chuo City, Tokyo">Don't follow ANY black person who tries to sell you a massage (Gotanda, Shibuya, shinjuku/Kabukichō) >Specialty coffee shops all taste the same. Don't wait in line for an hour for X specialty shop, go to the one next door, it's the same.>The best exchange rate in Tokyo is in Ginza called "Ticket Ranger", if you got revolut then you don't need to care about that. >>28620901The GTR pics are from my 200$ throwaway phone. The 240z is from my pixel fold 9.
>>28620685Something I haven't seen anyone mentioned yet: use tablelog for restaurant reviewsTourists use Google maps reviews, locals use tablelog. 3 stars is good, anything higher than that is going to be incredible
>>28621854Anything above 3.5 is good, exactly. That's the general rule.Also, if you're going to drink from the convenience store (the food is crap btw, just an internet meme) do Not underestimate strong zero 9. Only drink 1, not more.
>>28619864I didn't ask him no, but he was in his early 50s, well kempt person. From the looks of it, he bought it new back when.
>>28621837>Don't follow ANY black person who tries to sell you a massage (Gotanda, Shibuya, shinjuku/Kabukichō)lmao what's the story behind this, do they mug you?
>>28619809Cool I guess?
>>28621954In seedy places, shinjuku, roppongi, etc, there are Nigerian touts working for the yakuza that will target tourists for scams. Most common scam I've heard of is luring them to bars with promise of free/cheap drinks, then you get a massive overinflated bill and they'll threaten you if you don't pay. I'm not sure how the massage/soapland scam goes. I've heard roppongi especially is pretty infamous for tourists getting roofied and robbed
>>28621969>>28621954Basically, this is going to be very shocking news, but don't follow sketchy niggers literally anywhere on the planet. I don't understand how anyone is dumb enough to go with them, but it somehow works.In shinjuku they even have a message blasting on repeat over loud speakers in English >DO NOT FOLLOW NIGERIAN TOUTS, THEY WILL SCAM YOUBut people still do
BUMP FOR JAPAN
i'm glad people are able to talk about japan having a couple typical social issues for a first world nation without some retarded weeb seething that his favorite country isn't a perfect anime theme park. to talk about this stuff is more respectful than to ignore it.
>>28621912>do Not underestimate strong zero 9. Only drink 1, not more.kek
>>28620007I haven't seen an r32 in the wild in years. Used to see rx-7's often (usually stock), there's a guy who has driven his r35 daily for like a decade nearby, etc. Sometimes still see an NSX (usually automatic). Now those older cars are mostly all gone and it's just Swifts, Miatas, and various tuned shitboxes.Lots of performance Lexuses too.>I'm not sure how the massage/soapland scam goesI've never been scammed, but sometimes the girls will try to get extra out of you: "oh, it's an extra 3000JPY if you want me to wear this cosplay outfit instead". Roppongi is sketch, I wouldn't go there unless you want to club (and not drink)>>28622227Japan WAS perfect until niggers, jeets, and arabs came.
>>28622898Japan bros? Is this true?
>>28622898>Used to see rx-7's often (usually stock),in my 2 weeks there, I saw like 5 FDs. A random parking lot for an apartment complex had 2 of them (and a honda s660)
>>28622898>>28623400Realize that anyone talking about jeets/nigs/cameljockeys in Japan are literally talking about 5% of the population, AT MOST. You see pretty much all of them in a couple neighborhoods in Tokyo and the rest of the country is Chinese/Korean/western tourists and of course, Japanese locals. You fags need to stop believing everything you read on /pol/.
>>28623438>Realize that anyone talking about jeets/nigs/cameljockeys in Japan are literally talking about 5% of the population, AT MOST.and niggers are 13% of the population in the US. what's your point? Dark skin cunts ruin every single country that lets them in, full stop.
>>28623441>and niggers are 13% of the population in the US. what's your point?What percentage of the country is spic, jeet, arab, chink etc? What kind of immigration policy does Japan have vs the United States? Japan is so hardcore they offered "voluntary deportation" to Brazilians during the great recession because they didn't want them sucking off of welfare.https://time.com/archive/6946413/japan-to-immigrants-thanks-but-you-can-go-home-now/
>>28623438>Japan are literally talking about 5% of the population, AT MOSTfar less than that actually lol, like 1% accounts for all the types of browns and blacks in japan. white guys hate seeing browns in japan or browns with japanese/asian women.they act very possessive about asians, that japan exists solely to appeal to a white male fantasythe actual japanese people dont freak out about it lol. I blame anime
>>28623457Look this is really off topic from the board but I might as well pile on, Japan was supposedly 98% Japanese when I did a school project on the country in 2001.>the actual japanese people dont freak out about it lol. It's seen as a pretty big shame for a Japanese person to shack up with a non-Japanese. The older generation gets weird about their grandkids dating Chinese or Koreans lol.
>>28623438>5% of the population, AT MOSTDESPITE
>>28623461>The older generation gets weird about their grandkids dating Chinese or Koreans lolthe older japanese were good little cucks and generally took pleasure in seeing white guys with their girls, seeing fellow east asians as primitive and backwards and consuming lots of western media.but now the younger generation sees china and korea as basically the same level, and moreover they dont give a fuck about race mixing in general.
>>28623468>the older japanese were good little cucks and generally took pleasure in seeing white guys with their girlsLay down the porno, boyo.>but now the younger generation sees china and korea as basically the same level, and moreover they dont give a fuck about race mixing in general.Yeah you're a fucking kike, this sentence settles it.
>>28623471>lay down the pornoits not porno retard, the older generation of japanese are KNOWN to be white worshipping as fuck>this sentence settles it.japanese women not being exclusively for white guys anymore makes you upset...?
>>28623457>or browns with japanese/asian women.LMAOJaps do not date darkies. They find them fucking repulsive and don't want them in their country. Even the small percent of delihealth places that cater to foreigners usually reject darkies.
Ranjeet on suicide watch
>>28623590judging by just how triggered white guys get when a brown guy has fun in japan, i have a feeling youre trying to project your own feelings of hatred. you want them to be something that they're not. again, japan is not a country that is designed to appeal to your personal white male fantasy. it used to be, because older japanese are cuckolds, but it's not anymore. >>28623601i literally know blacks, latinx, and indians who have gotten laid in japan lmao.
>>28623605you lost the instant you used latinx. Latinos laugh at this white cuckhold term created by the cuck liberals.Go peddle your white cuck fetish somewhere else.
Can we go back to talking about traveling to Japan and posting cool cars?This retarded cuck ruined a good thread
>>28623611anon, we strive to use /pol/-approved terminology across all boardslatinx is the correct term >>28623615uh you started it by claiming the browns are ruining japan or something
Cars
>>28623611Latinx is a term Latino and Latinas have both rejected. It's awfully white supremacist of you to push something on a different racial group.
>>28623625>>28623615fine here's your next gen q50/skyline
>>28623621The only brown areas and people in japan bring trash and crime. Sorry you've never been to japan, cuck, but it's true.As another anon said, they literally have announcements right outside shinjuku station telling you to avoid blacks because they'll rob you.
I love jdm cars
>>28623636then what explains the rise of japanese female brown male couples??
I love jdm girls too
>>28623649See>>28623471>Lay down the porno, boyo.
>>28619809hey op, are you still here? I'm thinking about buying a honda gyro on yahoo auctions and want to pick your brain
>>28623438and is it good that 1-5% of the population are alien southrons? should that number be increased? or should it be 0 instead?
>>28623652Now that's a cope. i have never watched japanese porn in my life that involves a man>>28623660Well let's think about it. do they commit crime? do they pay their taxes? do they disrupt the culture? no wait, let's use the best metric, what racist white guys in america think japan should look like based on cartoons kek
>>28623662>Well let's think about it. do they commit crime? Yes>do they pay their taxes?sometimes >do they disrupt the culture?Yes>what racist white guys in america think japan should look likeJaps are way more racist than any white guy could hope to be.
>>28623664>Japs are way more racist than any white guy could hope to be.never saw a japanese shoot up a church of black ppl or kneel on a black person's neck till he suffocated :/ the older ones who cuckolded themselves to whites, sure maybe they're racistbut as is with every first world country on the planet, the younger generation doesn't care as much. I dont know why that's so hard to believe for you
>>28623629i think you replied to the wrong anon
>>28623637need to park it beside a toyota mega cruiser
>>28623673Jesus christ at least try to hide being a libcuck faggot. Go back to /pol/
Anons the best thing you can do to ignore a cuck poster is to satisfy their impotence desire and stop replying to them, don't get baited into replying and leave them in their corner loke the cucks that they are.I liked where this discussion was heading, anons gave good insight that isn't easily found elsewhere. I miss Japan so much and I have been wanting to go back since before the pandemic. This time I actually want to at least live there for a term. I know it's a generic and complex thing to ask, but anons can you provide insight into this? The Nissan heritage museum, I can't find my favorite pic of the prototype 300zx?with mid engine layout, it was a thing of beauty.
>japan has fallen
>>28623693How long do you want to live there? Talking months? A year? More?
>>28623717I want to live there at least a year, but I know I might never come back. I'm not romanticizing Japan like a weeb but I can have a better life there compared to here, the U.S. I'm already disconnected from what people care about and the overall culture, design, consumption patterns, I just don't care about this supposedly great American lifestyle that we have.
>>28623740Japan is for the Japanese, you fucking kike.
>>28623740Establishing permanent residency in japan isn't easy, but there are several visas you can get for a 1 year stay
>>28623438>>28623441>>28623457Immigrants are currently ~3% of the population in Japan and growing (divide 3.7 million immigrants by 120 million people). But that's a misleading figure, because the vast majority of immigrants are here for work, and therefore young, whereas japan is an aging society (losing ~1 million japs/year). So you see the immigrants more than you see the 80 year old japanese dying in homes (The average age in my town is over 65!)That means even in my rural village of less than 100,000 people there are Filipino bars, factories staffed by vietnamese, and even jeets lounging around the streets looking for schoolgirls to rape.And the trend is accelerating, just like how canada suddenly imported 40% of its population in 10 years. >>28623453Japan is importing mostly low-value workers. There isn't even an attempt at labeling them "highly skilled workers" that are "doing the jobs japanese won't do". The tokutei ginou system, enacted in 2019, allows for infinite immigration of minimum wage workers. So that's why you now see all the convenience stores staffed by jeets, the hotels cleaned by jeets, the factories staffed by vietnamese, and the hospitals full of filipino nurses. I have never seethed about browns in japan with japanese women because only the completely undesirable japanese women (35+, BPD, ugly, single mothers, etc.) even dare look at browns. And even then I've only ever seen 2 jap women with non-white/asian husbands in 20 years. >>28623740Moving to japan fixes none of your problems and only adds more stress. Don't move here thinking it's going to be better. I've seen too many people make that mistake.
>>28623916But in the cuck porn I watch, asian women love browns!
>>28619809great thread
>>28620221I could let you stay here on a one month trial basis, if you are prepared to be my house girl (male.)Let me know if you are in, and i'll send you some pictures and instructions.
>>28623916> my rural villageyoure an immigrant yourself kek>I've seen too many people make that mistakeWhites flooding japan in droves, only to realize its not the white supremacist paradise they want it to be.these "losers back home" probably try to prey on 16 year old girls thinking its like the cartoons they watch >undesirable japanese womenrace mixing stems from trying to make their fathers mad. asian girls who date white guys have weird daddy issues, generally, they arent well adjusted
>>28623961>Dude my okcupid dating studies from 2015 show that white women never date black guys! >when i go out on the street i only see fat, bpd, single mother white girls dating black guys bro!!!
>>28619809nice >26 number plate double nice
>>28624236This but unironically.
>>28619809Not a real M spec. It has a rear wiper.
>>28623475>japanese women not being exclusively for white guys anymore makes you upset...?Retarded strawman you concocted. You argue just like a kike. Show us that schnoz.
>>28624235>white cuck fetishist arguing with the guy living in japan about what life is like in japan
>>28624452?
I love fake gtr experts
>>28623774Maybe I'll just stay for a long vacation>>28623916Thing is I am not stressed out at all and can use some in my life. I know the novelty curve wears off quickly and then the reality of living there will kick in, but I can handle it. Either way it's not going to be something that will happen overnight. Keep the thread going for other anons that want to have a nice vacation there, you all gave some good advice, it's been too long since I've been there to provide anything relevant (pre covid).Look at this thing, I can't believe I saw one over there. There were also the extremely rare glimpses into corvettes and some USDM cars there, but I think we only saw like 5
>>28624818>There were also the extremely rare glimpses into corvettes and some USDM cars thereI think I saw more corvettes than skylines actually when I went last year.more mustangs than r32s even.
Hey OPTokyo Prince Hotel (Minato), Sunday morning at 8 AM. Site of the only Cars & Coffee event I have ever enjoyed.If you can make it, go there. Its not a bunch of nobodies, designers and industry guys use that parking lot to hobnob and network.
>>28619810Fake ebay parts car. Lol.
>>28624838where do you get this information from
>>28619981Oh, so in a homeless camp? Gotcha.
>>28624235>be me>go to bar>bar owner offers me his 15 year old barmaid>be me>go to festival>father offers me his 14 year old daughter in marriage>be me>go to izakaya>owner offers me and a friend his two waitresses. we ask their ages (both 15)Unfortunately feminists are trying to ruin this. >>28624818If you want something like a Z or a 1st gen rx-7, it's going to be cheaper to bring one from America (importation process is easy, just need to pass shaken which means car isn't a piece of shit). They're way more expensive in japan.
>>28624838I raw-dogged a delivery girl there, nice memories.
>>28625551I never knew how fucking great izakayas would be, but easily one of the coolest parts of my entire trip. Even barely speaking any Japanese I was still getting drunk and laughing it up with salary men
>>28623916>>28624818You're still ahead of the weebs and other gaijin. I admit to being a massive weeb so I can't help but feel kind of jealous at threads like this. I have seen some R34 GT-Rs stateside but no V-Specs or anything.
