Default I'm moving to Japan......

I just got my duty station assignment and I am moving to Japan. I don't know exactly when, but it will be in the next 6 to 9 months..... I am kinda excited about it, but now I have to decide what to do with the Z.

Congrats!!! I had orders to Japan once. Wife couldn't go with me so I turned them down. Keep the Z. You can't bring a GTR, or any JDM spec car, back. My brother works Customs at the docks and we've discuss this subject several times. Buy all your parts there cheap and ship them back. Its only 9 months at most right? Might be hitting you on some parts myself.

wow for 3 years......

in that case, part out the Z asap and save up for the GTR or something else better. in japan, owning a vehicle is a luxury imo since gas prob cost an arm/leg
