I'm about to leave for the states just in case anybody is trying to get a hold of me. My internet access will be spotty at best. I'm sitting in the parking lot of the dorms on Kadena Air Base stealing somebody's internet right now to post this as a matter of fact I get the promotion from SSgt to Mr. on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look forward to meeting some of you guys face to face soon also.

And just in case anybody was wondering, I snuck almost ALL of my car parts back through my govt. housing goods shippment. 2 short blocks, 2 heads, 2 trannies, 1 GTR diff/axles x4/hubs, Turbo kit, and a LOT more. My shipment was like 4,000lb and I don't have any furniture if that gives you any idea. I had wrapped the hell out of a lot of stuff and hid the highest value stuff in the middle of boxes of clothes and stuff. When the movers showed up, I had 2 cases of beer waiting for each of them, donuts, coffee, and a couple bottles of whiskey. They took what I packed and then I showed them my parts room, and they took all that too!! I was STOAKED (especially since the suitcases of Bud were on sale when I bought 12 of them).

If anybody is looking for parts from me, sorry, not doing it any more. Just wanted to give a heads up and brag to somebody about pulling a fast one on the govt.

NNOOOOOOOOOO, dont come here> LOLWhen I was overseas a week ago. I didnt want to come back. $hit gasoline starts at 95 octane and goes up to 110 at pump gas, LOL. Cars are way more advanced and have way more features than our cars here . It was sad to come back, but I had to. Got drunk every night, and people still manage to go to work in the morning. Work week is only 4 days long , most stores are closed Saturday afternoon till Monday morning in smaller cities, except grocery stores.

So your in the military, I always thought that you were a native of Japan or something .

Welcome back! What state do you live in? I am native Okinawan but also living in ohio. Either way I was trying to get a hold of you for some s1 coilpacks x6 either way not a big deal. Good luck with everything.

Yeah, sold the car with a stock RB25 in it, but all the other goodies still on it. I'm heading to NC right off the bat for like 3 weeks, then up to Ohio where my JDM girlfriend will meet me and we'll stay up there for about a month and change, then back to NC.

Pman- I am (was) an Air Traffic Controller in the USAF, so now I'm just waiting on word from the FAA for a job, so I'll just be kinda kicking around between NC and OH until I get word.

B98gts--I've still got a few spare things like a pile of coil packs on the way back, so I'll be able to spare a few things if people need them. Where in Oki are you from?

TKP09--just get some tomei springs and cams. Good opportunity to upgrade mang!

Ryan--they got email and IM blocked from the free internet I'm jacking from the BX across the street, but your head made it in the express shipment and they said 30-40 days from the 29th

What part of ohio are you coming back too? If close and you have the coil packs I can just come and pick them up in person. Just let me know.

Have a safe trip Chris, I do appreciate you searching for parts for me, even though I never ended up getting them through you timing never seemed right, but still made me feel bad. If your up in the Youngstown Ohio area shoot me an email I owe you a few cold ones.

Welp, just got off the 12 hour flight from Tokyo into Dulles, sitting here waiting for my connection to NC. Jeez that was a long a** flight I can feel the jetlag kicking in already. It's 4:55am right now for me. Thanks for all the offers for beer BTW guys! I rike beer a rot so I'll probably take some of you guys up on your offers

If I get an ATC job back in Okinawa as a civilian, yeah, I'll be looking for a '89 GTR so in 2014 I could drive it right on a boat and take it home, but that's about the only way I'll be getting one anytime soon.
