Second, you are gonna need at least $40K for GTR 34. Import cars are very expensive in Korea.
I've already got $33k

You never told us the story of how you got in trouble. I got out of all the trouble I thought I was in. My Commander e-mailed me a few days ago and told me not to worry about anything that he was making it all go away

Default Greetings! Z car fans in Korea.

Greetings Z car owners in Korea. I had no idea that there were such Z car following in my beloved country of Korea. I'm new to this forum, since I just purchased my first 08 350Z here in Hawaii. First thing I did was go on the internet to do some research about my new car and came across "my350z.com".
I found a lot of good information here, but I was surprised to find 350Z car forum in Korea. It seems that most of you are in military stationed in Korea. I am too in the US Army currently stationed in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. My question to you guys is; is there a lot of Z cars in Korea?
If so, Are they owned by mostly military people?
How many of you on this forum have their Z cars with them there in Korea?
Finally, If I decide to bring my new 350Z to Korea the next time I PCS, will I be able to find shop that will service my car?
I know these are a lot of question for my first introduction thread. The thing is I have less a year before deciding where I want to go next.
Thanks for reading and Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

what time and where are you guys meeting up today?

NISMO- welcome to the forums. nice car you have there, it brings back memories for me!

I'm not in the military so chopper, definition, or mpact can give you more details about bringing the car here.

As for Z's in Korea, Leeboy is pretty active in the Z community and mentioned there was some 40+ Z's at a meet here in Seoul. Andrew (definition) and I visited the Nissan dealership in Cheong-dam dong and they only have the Murano and Rogue for sale at the moment with the Z officially being released sometime later this year.

Sorry if I'm not able to answer all of your questions, hopefully the others will chime in shortly.

I just got here and I havn't seen any Z's.

As far as PCS'ing and bring your Z here, don't plan on it unless your an officer or at least an E-7. You might stand a chance of getting it here if you bring your family but even that is a very slim chance. Trust me, I'm an E-6 and I tried everything to get mine here before it got totaled.

Chopper, you know anything about the 602nd? Thats where I'm going. I heard something about a 4 week "green platoon" once I get to the hump??

If I don't get to drink a beer soon, I'm going to lose my mind.....

Check out my signiture.. I did all these tunings in Korea. I pretty much tore up my Z and put them back together here in Korea. I know it's pain, but if you search through this thread and other Korea related theads, you will find all the answers you are looking for.

Awesome Andy! You should put these pictures up in the mediashare section or do you mind if I do (of course with credit where it's due)? That's where the DSLR crowds hangout in this forum! Can you send me other shots via email? I love them all!! Thanks and good job! jayboy78@gmail.com
