Anthony,

Dont get me wrong I have never been oposed to the Skyline I have 3 to 5 years here before I have to leave there is nothing saying that I cannot ship a car home. You need to know that I have always owned Muscle cars in the past so I am new to this whole import scene. Dont laugh but I didnt even know the Skyline excisted before arriving here in Japan. In the states I prefer the Camaro, Chevelles, Vetts and Vipers. I bought the Z off a trade on a vehicle that I didnt have time to sell on my own and I wasnt going to just give it away. I suppose if Skylines were available in the states I would have bought one. Didnt want to bring a vette or camaro over here and the Z justed sounded right and I have always wanted one. The cool thing here is that you dont see many Z cars here they are just not practical the Skyline from what I can tell has a back seat. Some of the locals I have met here are excited to see a US spec Z car. I have not checked but they keep saying that the US Spec Z has a larger motor? Dont know havent had time to research it. Its kinda like the US folks want the Japan Spec parts and the people here want the US spec parts. I did go to a auto parts store today and they love blinking lights and have created about everything you could think of to put in a car. Will take some pics and post them when I learn how.
