I found some skylines gt-r34 for sale on a japaneese web site a while back, and the price for a good car with low km was $34000.

Are you gonna be shore duty or on a ship. Also, what is your rank? The reason I ask, is because unless they have changed the rules, E4 and below can't own a car unless married.

I have a couple of good friends down there as well. One guy is a civilian that works for the govt, the other is attached to the carrier. Once you get over there, let me know and I'll get you in contact with my friend Marc. Funny guy, knows his Nissans. Stay away from Gary, he's gay...lol (Not really, but we all say he is.)

So, they were actually able to convice the Japanese government to let in a nuke carrier into Yoko, eh? Interesting.

Well, since you are an E5, you shouldn't have any trouble getting a car. Make sure you take the on base course to get your command license. You're lucky that you won't have to pay out the arse for sha-ken as the on base JCI is pretty cheap.

Anyway, once you get over here, be sure to get a hold of me, and I can put you in touch with a couple of good guys to help you out.
