Can anyone help me please.

In the UK the Anniversary is called the GT4 and has a Gran Turismo 4 badge inside after the Playstation Game. So I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if I had that as a small subtle sticker on the outside, but in Kanji or Katakana.

Could someone tell me from the attached, which bit says Gran Turismo 4. I figure it has to be one of the words with 4 at the end.

Thanks for your help.

It's spelled out in katakana twice, once on the right underneath the bold hiragana/hiragana and ends where you see the number 4. and also on the left side 2nd half of the first line in smaller print, you'll see the 4 at the end.

 

Excellent thanks.

Any idea what the rest says..

 

This is it then??

 

yes

Thanks Guys

 

damn I didn't even get a chance to show off my jdm skills =(

 

You could always translate the rest...that would really impress me...

 

jiyanru resu & karaifushimiyureetsuyon

"gran race and car (full?) simulation" I don't know exactly. Pretty small so maybe I screwed something up but that is basically what the rest of the katakana says. Kanji gives me a headache

 

and the hiragana says

(kanji)shi-i(kanji)ri. (kanji)ma-ru you'll have to look up the kanji to get a translation. The 2 on the ends that look like a rectangle with a box threw it could be "Naka" or place/location but it could also be something completely different depending on what's around it.

 

Ok, translation is fun, but nobody is the least bit curious as to why Nisssan would do this? Seems kinda odd. The 35th doesn't have any kind of plaque like that in the US, does it?

 

Quite simple really. The 240z came into the UK 1 year after it was introduced into the US, so they couldn't really call it the 34th Anniversary.

 

Uh, wouldn't that be the 350Z and 36th anniversary, then?

Just wondering why they connected it to a video game and stuck a cheesy plaque on it. And if they did go through the trouble, why didn't they put a 35th anniversary plaque on the US cars ('cause you know the gloss backed side Z emblems with the slightly bronze ring really makes it stand out as an anniversary model...)

 

The most significant thing is they were limited to 176 of which 76 yellow were yellow the rest black. The Zed isn't a big seller in the UK, so I guess they decided to limit them and number each one to help justify the price. One and don't forget we got a free Playstation and GT4 game..

ALso the Ultra Yellow is not available in any other model in the UK.

 

Ah, so it was a car/game package... interesting marketing scheme. So what's a Z cost in the UK and what else in the same class does it compete with performance and price-wise?

 

Yeah it is small, and I've definitely forgotten most of the kanji I ever knew.

I think it's "jyanru" instead of "jiyanru". Based on the context and the colon after it, maybe they mean "genre"?

The rest is "reesu" & "kaaraifushimyureeshon". I'm not JDM fluent and not familiar with the game either but it sounds like "race" & "car life simulation" to me.

Whenever you see a smaller version of a character among the rest, it's used as a contraction (or whatever the english term is) - e.g., it is --> it's

 

Ok Fellas, nice try. Born and raised in Japan. Piece of Cake!!

Hows that!!

 

A GT4 (35th Anniversary), will cost you $50k ish. We only get 2 models other then this, both have most of the extras available in teh US. The GT has everything including Brembo's, Leather, Cruise etc. and would cost you $48k and standard which has everything except leather cruise and a base ICE would cost you $43k.

The Zed's main competitors are the Boxster and Audi TT but it undercuts them by a few $k, so great value for money. The other bargain in the UK is the RX-8 about $40k ish.

You guys don't realise how lucky you are.
